Importing .wpl audio files for slide show in Elements 4.0

Once again I have to prevail on my fellow Photoshop users' expertise. Help! I am trying to import music files from a playlist in Media Player (Microsoft Home XP) into a slide show in Photoshop 4.0. I get error message "Cannot open file because it is the wrong type of file." (The files turns out to have .wpl extension. Have tried to move the files from Media Player first to "My Documents," then open them in Organizer or Editor, but get the same error message. (Have moved similar files successfully into SONY Vegas video editor all along.) Is there any way to convert the audio files to the format suitable for Photoshop (.wav or .wma)?

I think that sunny_afternoons.mp3 is one of the MP3s that comes with Photoshop Elements. In order to see that audio file within the PSE Organizer, you may need to change the View menu settings for media so you see the Audio files. (You can temporarily set it to display only Audio files to make them easier to locate. However, it is important that you then set it back to your normal options to display Photos etc - otherwise next time you use PSE you will wonder - What Happened to my photos?)
Once you find that mp3 file, right click on it in the Organizer and see if the Organizer can play it. If the Organizer can't play it then generally the slide show can not either. However, playing in the Organizer does help analyze problems but it is not a guarantee that the slide show will be OK. You might also check what is the default player software on your system for mp3's.
Other than that - I don't think I have any additional ideas. Since you are attempting to run in an environment for which Adobe offered no support and no statement that it would work, you might just have to try to debug your system on your own.

  • Assistance needed in trying to import MP3 audio file into Slide Show

    I get the following message when trying to import an MP3 audio file into a slideshow in Organizer 9 "The selected file can not be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor(codec) installed. I am pulling the file from my Itunes folder and I have not had problems with any other file I have downloaded from itunes and changed to an MP3 format.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I really want to use this song in a slideshow for my parents 50th Anniversary.

    Best GUESS is that DRM is getting in the way of the file being used outside of iTunes (DRM = Digital Rights Mgmt = Copy Protection)

  • Why I cannot add audio file to slide show because of decompressor code

    I cannot add audio file to slide show because of compressor or decompressor needed in the system. Anyway to do this

      If using MP3 files it sometimes helps to delete album art from the track.

  • PSE 9 Organizer error codec trying to add an Elements audio file to slide show

    I am using PSE 9 to build a slide show. When I add audio, I can use mp3's  from my music library in the slide show without any issues ...
    but I am getting the following error when I try to add an Elements audio file (example " A _Taste_Of_Sicily.mp3)
    This is the Organizer error message:
    "Unable to add the audio file (C:\ProgramData\Adobe\ElementsOrganizer\8.0\Music\A_Taste_Of_Sicily.mp3).
    The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compresser/decompresser(codec) installed."
    I had PSE 8 and upgraded to PSE 9 - I noticed the error file detail shows 8.0 - Is this my problem - maybe an incomplete upgrade ?  (I've made several slideshows mixing photos and music, on an older computer using PSE 8 and never ran into this issue.)
    Below is my system info in case that helps:
    OS=Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on an HP Pavillion dv7
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-430M Dual Core processor (2.26GHz, 3MB L2 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.53GHz

    Thanks for any help !

    Does that file extension really have a space in it?  If so, remove the space.

    It would be up to your carrier if they provide this option.  I don't believe AT&T does. If they did, I'd be all over that.

  • Encore CS4 Adjusting Audio for Slide Show

    Greetings, I have Encore CS4. I am doing a slide show presentation and have imported an audio file into the slide show as well as set the slides to play within the audio time frame. My questions is...the audio file is too loud, how can I reduce the final output volume of the audio file? The file is a wave format. Thank you Jean [email protected]

    Jean,
    About the only thing that would help, would be for Adobe to offer a link to Audition, or SoundBooth, like the "Edit in Photoshop," from the Menu Editing Panel. That might make a good "Feature Request." Obviously, it would need to link to another program, as Encore is just an authoring program, and I would not like to see a bunch of NLE/Audio "features" added to it. However, the ability to link to an appropriate program could help. I do not have CS4, but with the tighter integration with Premiere, this linking might already exist.
    I find myself in your situation all too often, if I bring in an Audio Asset, without first adjusting it. There is always that DUH! moment, when I first play the DVD RW and my speakers "walk" across the room.

  • Import subtitles for slide show

    I have two slide shows, each with 50 slides. I would like to generate a text file with the subtitle definitions and import it, but apparently subtitles can only be imported for timelines. Why is that?
    I have the names of the slides (the texts that should be displayed as subtitles) in an excel file and generated a text file out of it that has exactly the format needed for importing subtitles.
    It would be rather time consuming to manually copy the names of the 100 slides out of the Excel sheet and insert them as a description for each slide.
    Are there any technical reasons why importing subtitles for slide shows is not allowed?
    Regards,
    Christian Kirchhoff

    Hallo,
    thanks again for the reply. In one case I really could do it, you are right there.
    But there are slide shows, too, which do not proceed automatically but wait for the user to press the previous/next chapter buttons on the remote control. To realize the same behaviour in a timeline one had to set the end action for a chapter to "return to beginning of chapter". That works, kind of, but I found out that both with software DVD players on a computer and with regular DVD players the navigation (forward/backward) is very...irregular. Sometimes when you press the next chapter button it works, and sometimes not.
    That's why I wanted to stick with the slide show instead of a timeline.
    Regards,
    Christian

  • Cant Find .......  Choose File^ New Slide Show

    I am trying to make a slideshow for the first time. ( iPhoto4.0.3) I can't find the .... " Choose File ^ New Slide Show " in the iPhoto File drop down menu to make a slide show, it only gives me New Album, New Smart, Close Window, Import, Export, Trash , Page set up, Print ... as options. After I figure this out and make a slide show with music, etc. What is the best option for burning it to a DVD for others to view on their home DVD player(s)

    Eric
    With the iPhoto window in organize view you will see the slideshow option at the bottom of the window.
    Select the photos or albums you want first then click on slideshow.
    To save it, go to the menu and choose export, the export to QuickTime. Make your Quicktime selections - then export.
    The Quicktime Movie file can be viewed by anyone with QuickTime installed.

  • Using downloaded songs for slide show background music

    Maybe I am naive, but I just joined iTunes and downloaded some music to use as background for slide shows of family pics. I am using Microsoft Plus! to put the slide shows together. The iTunes songs downloaded in MPEG-4 and the Plus! code will only recognize MP3. I am also concerned that the copyright protection will make the songs not useable for the slide show compilations. Any ideas? Thanks!

    In iTUnes you can burn the song to CD then reimport it as a MP3. Goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>Import sub tab, and set it from "AAC" to "MP3" then hit OK
    Now burn the songs to CD in itunes. Put the CD back in and hit the "Import" button in the top right corner of itunes

  • Audio Commentary  aka  alternate audio file for movie.. How?

    Hi folks,
    I love this discussion group btw... awesome...
    So, I've got my feature film done, we did a 1 week run at the theatre now, we are almost ready for our DVD release but want to do one of those really cool Director Actor commentary / alternate audio files for the movie. Is this done in FCE or iDVD? and any tips?
    Best Regards,
    Mark

    ... I think there is a workaround with FCE + iDVD.
    You could duplicate the original sequence in FCE, then add your alternate audio to the timeline of the new sequence. (Record your commentary and add as a 2d audio track (say, a3/a4)). Raise & drop the audio levels appropriately across the length of your regular and alternate audio tracks. Export the resulting video to QT Movie and import it into iDVD along with your original Movie.
    You will now have 2 versions of your Movie & can put them both in a single iDVD project (of course, subject to the limitations of the total length you can put on a DVD (~2 hours for a single layer DVD, ~4 hours on a dual-layer DVD.) Or just put them on separate DVDs if your Movie is too long to fit both on a single disc.

  • Pdf for slide shows

    When I create a slideshow in Photoshop Elements .pdf is my preferred file format  to save the show.
    One of the nice features of .pdf for slide shows is the 'fade out /fade in' transition between slides, which has been functioning on my laptop, even if slide changing was set to manual.
    I recently downloaded Acrobat Reader for iPAD. Although slide changing was no problem the 'fade out /fade in' effect was gone. Is there any way I could get it back?

    No transitions and multimedia on Adobe Reader for iOS.

  • Can I import .cda audio file in iTunes on my Macbook Pro with OS X Yosemite

    Can I import .cda audio file in iTunes on my Macbook Pro with OS X Yosemite

    iNads,
    .CDA files are simple index files, less than 1 kB in size, that do not contain any audio.  There is no reason to import them.
    If you have the physical CD and wish to rip it into iTunes, you can import it per this guide:  iTunes 12 for Mac: Import songs from CDs

  • Audio in PDF slide show doesn't play. What can I do ?

    I created a PDF slide show with MP3 audio (from Elements Organizer version 10.0). The PDF doesn't play the audio. What can I do ?

    Hello Andaleeb,
    thank you for getting back to me.
    The slide show works fine, including sound, from within Organizer. It
    also works fine when I export it as a video. Just PDF isn't working.
    In the meantime, from various contributions in the forum, I gather that,
    unfortunately, the Organizer (just like Lightroom) simply does not
    support adding music to PDF slide shows. Apparently, there is a way to
    do that using Acrobat Pro (only costs 640 Euros).
    You may consider my question answered.
    Regards,
    Thomas
