Is it possible to add multiple  songs to a slide show?

Hi there.
A slide show can be quite long as you all know and the same music continusly repeated can become boring.
Is it possible to add several songs to the slide show to overcome this problem?
Regards.

One thing you can do to make it all turn out even--think about how long each slide is going to display, say you want about 3 seconds per slide, multiply by the number of slides, say you have 100 slides (I picked those numbers so the arithmetic would be easy!). That's a total of 300 seconds. Divide by 60 seconds per minute to get the number of minutes, in this case that would be 5 minutes. Then when you make your playlist in iTunes find music that fits the mood of the show and that totals a little more than 5 minutes (and is NOT Protected, as Terence mentioned). Back in iPhoto select your Playlist in the Music section and then check the box to have the slideshow fit the music, and iPhoto will adjust the display time so that everything runs the same length of time. Export to iDVD and burn your disk.
Personally, I like to get a little fancier, so I export my slideshow without sound, then open the project in iMovie HD and make a layered soundtrack, where I arrange the music and sound effects, as in this one:

It has the music, plus a coffee gurgle, birds tweeting, page flips and a lion roar at the end. Once it's built you can send it to iDVD at full size and/or, as I did here, make a small streaming web version to share over the Internet. I wrote up a VERY short tutorial on this (notes from a workshop I ran) and put it up here:

Afraid I haven't worked that much with iMovie 08, but I believe you can do something along the same lines.

  • How to apply multiple songs to a slide show?

    How do I install more than one song in a slide show of 439 photos

    You have to combine all songs into one file by using software, for example Audacity.
    PS: I owe this knowledge to a post by Victoria Bampton.

  • Can you use multiple songs for a slide show in iphoto ios 2.0?

    I want to prepare a 10 minute slide show that uses more than one song.   It seems you can use a playlist using iphoto for mac (and I have seen that in other discussion threads) but what about iphoto for IOS on an ipad?   It seems to let me only use one song.   I am on IOS7 and using the lastest iphoto for ipad (v 2.0)Any suggestions out there?  Thanks

    You are welcome. Have a look at the GarageBand Help to get started.
    Basically you need to
    Create a new project - select an empty project template.
    Open the Media Browser and drag the songs from your iTunes playlist into the track area.
    Use the "Share" menu to send your new sound track to iTunes.
    This screenshot is from GarageBand 10.0, but in GarageBand '11 it would be similar.
    Just in case that you want to add some sound effects to the soundtrack, like rain or thunder, you will find the clips in the Loop Browser:
    Good luck for your slideshow

  • Possible To Add Chapter Markers To iDVD Slide Shows?

    Is it possible to add chapter markers to iDVD slideshows, or is that only possible in movies?
    I have a slideshow prepared with over 300 photos, and would really like to be able to create chapter markers [starting points] so a viewer doesn't have to click through so many photos to find a particular photo. This probably cannot be done, but I didn't want to proceed with my project, IF it is a possibility, and I am just missing some quick way to do this.

    The only way to create chapters in a slideshow is to create the slideshow as a movie in iPhoto or iMovie. This way you can create Chapter markers that will show up in menus.
    Each slide in an iDVD created slideshow is actually a different Chapter - that's why some set-top DVD players drop the audio on slide changes and why each slideshow can only have 99 slides.

  • Adding more than one song to a slide show

    I can't not find anywhere stating how I can add multiple songs to one slide show. I do not want to add a full sound track to a slide show. Any suggestions?

    I like to use different songs for different parts of slide shows and also to edit out some of the extra verses in some of the songs I use, so what I do is to use Wavepad (free download) to edit the desired songs. I save each one in a separate file (adding a descriptor such as "short" to the original title). Then, I open a new file in Wavepad, save it as the name of the slide show (such as Graduation Medley), then copy & paste each song from its respective file, in the correct sequence I want them to play into the new file. Be sure to save at the end, in between, all the time.
    I go back to iTunes and import the new file into the Library. Then I go back to iPhoto, select the relevant slide show, click on the Music button and select that file for my music for the slide show. I then go to the Settings and click the button that says "Fit photos to music".
    You can also create a playlist from the edited files and add the playlist as specified in the other posts.
    When previewing the slide show, if the music for the 2nd section starts too soon or too late, I adjust the time for a couple of beginning section's slides, add an extra one in, or maybe even reedit the music.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I add multiple songs to the iPod library at the same time?

    Before the iTunes update, I was able to add multiple songs to the library. Now I must add one song at a time. How can I get enable my iTunes to allow me to "add file to library" with more than one song?

    I use add folder option when adding more than one file. Never tried to add more than one file with the add file option. Long ago when I started with iTunes, I made a folder to use when importing files when I was not ripping in directly.

  • How do I add multiple songs to the iCloud at the same time?

    I have several songs that are not getting matched to imatch and getting uploaded to the cloud. I tied highlighting all the songs that have a cloud with an x through it indicating that the song was deleted from the cloud and that it was not on any device. I can add it mannually, but only one at a time. How do I do this for hundreds of songs with a xcloud?

    For the moment there isn't a way for us end-users to control what is "matched" or "uploaded." That is purely a result of Apple's server-side algorithms.
    To re-add multiple songs at once simply highlight all the songs you want to re-add, then right-click (or Control+click) the list and choose "add to iCloud."

  • Is it possible to  add multiples dimension objects in Webi Ranking ?

    As per the project requirement we need to convert custom sqls to reporting sql in webi 3.1 sp5 .
    Is it possible to  add multiple dimension objects while applying ranking (Webi query panel ).
    Or is there any other way to achieve this feature in BO ?
    Regards,
    Pranay

    Hi ,
    There is a way if you want to apply ranking within a ranking . Below are the steps:
    First on the outer side we can use the Rank feature which is available directly
    Then use the Rank Function (=rank ()) and reset your dimension accordingly .
    This kind of Ranking is possible.

  • Is it possible, to add multiple USB devices to TC

    Is it possible, to add multiple USB devices using a hub to Time Capsule (as stated for Airport Extreme)?
    Thanks in advance.

    The Time Capsule is an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive, so you can add multiple USB devices if you use a powered USB hub.

  • Is it possible to edit multiple songs simultaneously in iTunes?

    Does anybody know if it is possible to edit multiple songs in a single pass (by right clicking on all of them and then opening a single edit window or so?). I would like to be able to, for example, change the Genre of 50 songs from Electronica/Dance to Drum 'N Bass without having to do it 50 times over individually for each of the songs.

    I've done this before...by selecting the multiple songs, then right clicking and selecting "get info" from the list. You can then change things like the genre, album name, grouping, compilation (Y or N)...and other changes.

    Michael:
    Yes it is. You need to create a playlist in iTunes with the songs you want and then in iPhoto select that playlist. Just be sure to click on the playlist icon and not on any of the tracks in it.

  • IS IT POSSIBLE TO ADD MULTIPLE ATTACHEMENTS?

    WHEN EMAILING ON IPAD, IS IT POSSIBLE TO ADD MORE THAN ONE ATTACHMENT? TWO OR MORE DOCUMENTS ON ONE EMAIL?

    The iPad requires you first to define the object you want to email and then open a send-mail page. Thus, natively you can only send one attachment. I looked at the app store and Mail2List allow sending up to six photos at once. AceMail allows sending multiple audio files and photos. I could not find anything to send more than one document.
    Also, please do not use all caps.
