In Slideshow, auto timing to music length

When selecting a music track to run against a slideshow, auto-adjust the length in seconds the image is displayed based on the length of the music selection. Make this optional. So as an example, you have 20 images in a slideshow, with a track that lasts 2 minutes. In this case you would auto adjust the display to be 6 seconds per image.

I agree that it's quite bad to have a feature so blatantly not working as it's supposed to... Since I have no idea how to succesfully work around this issue in LR4 I tried other options for the slideshow feature...
FotoMagico seem solid and has additional features as individual slide duration and individual transition times... It has some quirks too... The audio fades with the slide transition at times... The biggest draw back (and maybe I haven't found good settings yet) is that the rendered 720p HD slideshow didn't look half as good as the one rendered in LR4 at pretty much the same file size...
Then I tried Aperture... Which has pretty neat slideshow functions as well... Lets you adjust the audio placement freely... But the filesize exported with the standard 720p setting was about 4 times bigger... Now doing tests what custom settings will yield acceptable quality files with acceptable filesizes.

Can I auto adjust the slide length to match my music length?

Can I auto adjust the slide length to match my music length?

There is no way to automatically do this, but if you have a calculator, you can figure it out.
If you are NTSC (USA), figure 30 frames per second. For PAL (Europe) figure 25 frames per second.
So here is an example in NTSC. Say your music is 3:31, this is equal to 211 seconds or 6330 frames.
If your slideshow has 155 slides, then each slide should last about 41 frames or 1 second and 11 frames.
You can change the duration of the slides to 1:11 and apply to all slides.
(Note: To edit at the frame level, go into iMovie Preferences and choose to display time as hhL:mm:ss:frames)

Hi... I am looking for an inexpensive app for my macbook pro that I can put pictures and videos together into a slideshow with captions and music WITHOUT a watermark and that also will burn the slideshow to a DVD in its own app. Help?

The issue with the A1400 is that like most economy compact cameras, they will not have very fast focus times in indoor lighting situations. Many people have gone to entry level DSLR's (Canon T3i) or micro 4/3 cameras. They are fairly expensive, but a late model refurbished T3i can sometimes be found with a kit lens for about $300.00. With Auto and scene modes, as well as full manual modes, these are very versatile cameras that focus very quickly, even in lower lighting situations. Canon is not really into the micro 4/3 cameras, instead they are focusing on the new G7x and G1x cameras, which are way out of your price range. The A720 is still available used at some places such as KEH camera, but you'll need to check often as their stock changes constantly. Obviously the DSLR's don't use AA batteries, but the T3i is good for about 600 photos (or more) per charge.
My refurbished DSLR was practically brand new condition when I got it. I could not find any sign of wear at all, so I feel they are a real bargain. These are rugged cameras that are made to last. The A1400 is a $99.00 camera, so it's not intended for heavy usage, plus the image quality of a DSLR (even entry level) is far better than the A1400. That would be my recommendation.

Where is the best place to make a slideshow with pictures and music on a mac?

Where is the best place to make a slideshow with pictures and music on Macbook Pro?

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

Iphoto Slideshow Won't Assign Music

Ive searched the forums and tried all the reponses, but nothing has worked. I created a slideshow in iphoto (with most up to date software update). When I click to assign music, it will allow itunes to come up. I pick my music (from itunes), click ok. When I go to view the slideshow, no music. My older slideshow's will play music and even assign new music. What am I doing wrong here?

Hi, I'm just playing with my slideshow music uploads also. I'm just wondering and it may seem odd to ask but do you need to check your sound preferences or volume button to hear the music. Not sure I've assisted, my issue is around how to attach various different songs from my itunes to my one slideshow. I can attach and play the music but cannot as yet work out how to add several. Many thanks if you can help with this question?

Iphoto slideshow won't play music

when I create a slideshow in iphoto, the music I selected will not play. The slideshow functions normally otherwise. Is this a problem with Mavericks?

This category is for iPod shuffle. Is that the type of iPod you have, because your description of the problem does not sound like it's about a shuffle? If it's not a shuffle, what is the iPod model...?
There is music there and I can play it connected to laptop.
Are you doing the playing using the iPod, or are you playing the music using iTunes on the laptop?
All mucis icons read "No music" and this is not correct
Do these icons with "No music" appear on the laptop's screen, or on the iPod's screen

Iphoto slideshow tries to read music videos in itues...

iphoto slideshow tries to read music videos in itues... It appears that i have music videos in my itunes music library, and when I try to start building a slide show in iphoto. Iphoto first looks a the music libary and hangs up trying to play music videos.
Can anyone shed any light on this behavior of Slideshow

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Does this occur when you add music to the Slideshow? Or some other time?

IPhoto slideshow that uses registered music

I have created a slideshow on iPhoto, I was allowed to utilize the music i have stored in my iTunes library. When i went to export the slide show, I was told that I could export just the photos and the music that isn't registered to an actual artist. My question is:
Is there a way to export the iPhoto slideshow including the registered music?
If so, how?
I imported the slideshow to iMovie instead, but can't seem to insert the music I had from the original slideshow. How do I do that in iMovie?

What kind of song are you using?
If your song has been bought from the iTunes Store and is in the older "Protected AAC audio file" format you cannot use the file to render a video or bounce a new song with GarageBand, because that would remove the protection.
Check the "kind" in iTunes in the "Info" panel for the song, in the "File" tab.
If you have backed up your songs to CD by burning a playlist to CD, try if the backed up CD versions of your songs can be used. Sometimes that works.

Auto download of music purchased.

Under 'setting' I'm not able to turn 'on' the auto download of music in the 'store' folder. I'm not sure what i'm missing.

OK, I seem to have solved this after working through a few related support articles. Here's what I did:
1. I searched for the missing song track using the instructions in Apple support article (TS1408) via the Finder and could not find it, either in my properly located (and full) iTunes Media folder, or anywhere else on my hard drive (I did a global search as well).
2. I then proceeded to a second article about re-downloading purchased content (HT2519). At Step 4 (in the section for iTunes 11 or later) it says to be sure you have "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" selected in the iTunes>Store Preferences pane. I checked there and I did not have it selected on either of my two computers (for good reason since I have never done any such Cloud purchases before). Anyway, as soon as I selected that and closed the Preferences pane my iTunes library window updated itself automatically and there was the song in question with an iCloud symbol beside it. I clicked on the song and it began to play, presumably from the Cloud. I then clicked the cloud symbol next to the track and iTunes quickly downloaded the song into my library on my desktop iMac. I took the same steps on my second Mac computer with the same successful results. There was no additional charge for the downloads, as I had already bought it via my Apple TV.
I have not attempted to duplicate this yet since I have had no need to buy another song via iTUnes Radio on my Apple TV. But it did fix the problem I had at the start of this thread. Appreciate any feedback from others if they try this.

How do I adjust [shorten] music length to fit slideshow?

Making a memorial slideshow, hoping to use several songs but need to shorten their length. Any suggestions? iPhoto support directs me to a page that does not include the info.
Thanks in advance.

I use music in all of my slideshows and always adjust it to my slides either by timing the individual slides or by using the third party application Amadeus to adjust the music, cutting out parts or pauses that I don't need or want. It can also slow down or speed up music without changing the pitch but I normally just edit the music itself to fit the projected length of the shows. That way I can match certain slides to particular phrases of the music and the effect is great that way. I've used Amadeus for years and find that I can't do without it, especially in my more intricate shows. I believe I paid about 40 dollars back when I got it but don't know the price now. Incidentally I use the Amadeus Pro version. Here's the developer's site:

Slideshow timing to music

I have a 378 pic slideshow with 4 iTunes set in a custom playlist with random transitions and asked to time to the music.
At the 378th slide the last tune is not done, and continues on for a couple of minutes.
I've done this before with other pics and tunes with no problem.
3 of the tunes were imported from a CD, and one downloaded from my Windows machine and imported over my iHome link.
They all look OK in iTunes and show up with the right durations in the iPhoto playlist.
I can switch over to uniform slide duration and get close by trial and error but why isn't iphoto doing it?
Thanks

In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.

Timing of music and slideshow

Most songs have dead space for a few seconds at the end of the song. I have used iTunes Info to set the ending point for a song that was used in iPhoto slideshow. But it does not seem to detect that end point.
Is there anyway to have a song end properly with the last photo?

Barry:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The iTunes "edit" is only recognized by iTunes. You can use Garageband as jdickey suggested (it's free) or a 3rd party audio editor like Amadeus II. With it you can combine two or more tracks, doing a overlap fade in/out type of transition, etc. and then save as a single new file. Then import that file and use it. Just remember to always save as a new file as you don't want to mess up any of the original tracks.
I tried GB but found it to complicated for this old amphibian and was using Amadeus before I got GB to try. If you're familar with GB then it will do the job. Good luck.
