Multiple music tracks on a slide show in Lightroom

I asked at Photoshop World this month whether or not Adobe has included the ability to place more than one track of music in a slide show. Unfortunately, this is not possible with the latest release of LR5. However, I would find this incredibly useful for longer slideshows without having to resort to a third party software. Is there any plan to do this in the near future?

Your preaching to the converted - I've p...d and moaned about the half baked slideshow module for years. And whilst the Lr team have added features over this period they've generally been to satisfy folk more intertested in video output than fixing the basics.

Can music be insync with slide show

In iPhoto one may link with a music track and even time the the slide show to end with the music.
Can a slide show with music from iPhoto be ex/imported to iWeb as is?
What about auto-play music with an iWeb Album?

Yes. The basic idea is that you make a playlist of songs and choose that to use with the slideshow, rather than any particular song. In iPhoto 11 you can do this in iPhoto. In earlier versions you do this in iTunes.
There is a limitation. Each song will play the full way through, you can't croassfade from one to another and so on.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express $199
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

How to delete multiple music tracks

how to delete multiple music tracks?

I think rendering the audio has to do with the way I import to FCE. This is how I bring video into FCE because it seems to be the only way I can get it to work. I run my video camera through a digital coverter which runs a firewire into my Mac. I then import the video into imovie. After that is done, I do a drag and drop of the imovie into FCE. I have to render the audio because it just beeps if I don't when I play it back in FCE. I tried using the video capture in FCE but it keeps telling me it is unable to capture (my gues is the cameras are too old and the digital converter in not compatable with FCE or Mac). So once the video and audio footage is in FCE, if I click the green button on the left hand side, my rendered audio becomes a red line. However, I can click the same button on the upper video portion, and it drops the video out so I can see video clips on the lower levels and not just the first one on top. So that's why I render the audio. I can see all twelve audio tracks already. Tom- would making the change you suggest still help? Great book by the way also.

Adding music to a slide show in Lightroom 5

I have created a slideshow with Lightroom 5 that has 807 photos. The duration of the slide show is 1 hour, 33 minutes. When I try to add music in LR 5, it will allow only one song. How do I add music that will cover the entire slide show?

Lightroom only allows for one music file. If you want a longer file, you'll have to splice together your music files in another application (such as Audition) and use that larger file in Lightroom.

Slideshow multiple music tracks

Does anyone know how to fit multiple music tracks to a slideshow? I can only seem to put one track.

Only one track per slideshow is currently possible.

One workaround is to record multiple tracks to a single audio file (e.g. using Adobe Audition) then add that as a single file to your slideshow.

Autor-Play multiple music tracks

Please help,
I would like to give visitors to my website the same music
experience as if they are listening to their CD player. In other
words, visitors can listen to multiple music tracks without having
to press play at the start of every new tracks. Just like a CD
player, visitor should be able to select the track that they want
to listen to, i.e. music tracks cannot be saved as a single file.
Thank you.

Adding sequential numbers to a slide show using Lightroom 4.4?

How do you add sequential numbers to a slide show using Lightroom 4.4? I want images to show sequentially with each having a specific number such as 1 of 25, 2 of 25, 3 of 25 and so on. Please advise.

Sorry, that computer is not connected to the internet right now- husband is using wifi to watch World Cup. Here's a picture from my phone. If it's too hard to read I can take a screen shot in an hour or so.
Thank you both in advance for your help.

When adding music to an iphoto slide show, is it possible to sample pieces of songs?

Does anyone simply sample bits of music for their slide shows? I have only been able to apply entire songs.

You can't. Iphoto plays the music track. It's it's 3 minutes long then it plays for 3 minutes.
So if you want to play segements you'll need to copy the track, duplicate it and edit it to the requied length
Or
Use an app that supports multiple audio tracks.

Adding multiple music tracks to a photo slideshow

Hi guys,
I have a photo slideshow of over 100 photos and would like to add more than 1 music track. I am having difficulty in adding a 2nd audio file after I have already used the beat marker on the first track to put my photos in sync with the music.
Is it best to add the tracks onto the clip/photos themselves or as a project track?
Any info on how to add multiple tracks to a project or clips would be great
Many thanks.

I'm just finishing up a 20 minute slide show for my son's 5th grade graduation (tomorrow!) and I've been up the learning curve. What I did was add the song and pin it to the first photo. You can add a song 2 ways - You want it to surround the video/photos. When you drag it to the upper left, it you will notice it's shaded green around the photos. If you hover near the gear symbol, you will get a grabby hand to move it. Drag it to a photo and it will turn purple and be pinned to that image. For the next song, you will also drag it to the upper left and it will be green (depending on if your other song is at the very beginning of your project). Then drag it to the image to which you want it attached. This gets buggy and tedious when you're doing a long video. But I liked this method better than dragging the audio and seeing a green bar at the bottom, because I always accidentaly moved it around and messed myself up. Hope that helps!

How do I edit out the first 20 seconds of music in an Aperture slide show?

I don't want to use the first 20 seconds of a piece of music in a slide show. How do I start the music 20 seconds into the song? Thanks.

Since no one else has answered, here is my solution:
I use a free program called Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net
I export the track from iTunes, trim with Audacity and then re-import the new version back to iTunes (".trimmed)" so that it appears in Aperture music selection.
(I have no connection/investment whatsoever of any kind in the developer of Audacity!)

How do i add EQ to multiple music tracks

in an effort to make my touch's battery life last longer i read the tips and 1 was to turn off eq on the touch and add eq to the tracks from itunes but i can only do 1 at a time which is very slow. how do i add eq to multiple tracks??
im talking like 700 music tracks 1 by 1 isnt an option

You should be able to select the top track in a list and then hold down the shift key and click on the bottome of the list. Or you could use select all from the edit menu to select all the tracks in a play list/library.

Leveling Music Volume in a Slide Show

I have created a wmv file of a slide show to play using Windows Media Player. The music for the show consists of several songs. They have noticeably different volume levels. Is there a way, in PSE7, to level the volume among the songs?

You would need to do this in an audio program before bringing it into PSE.

Mastering and/or mixing narration & music in PSE 11 slide shows

I cannot find a way to get acceptable quality out of slide show audio options in PSE 11. Using clips of a music recording instead of the whole piece produces amateurish clicks or abrupt cuts instead of smooth fade-outs. Mixing narration with background music does not seem to be possible at all. Are there eventual plug-ins or other means available to get around this problem?

Adding music / audio to Photo Slide Show

I have several photo pages in the iWeb Photo Template pages and am giving the option to watch as a slide show.
If the viewer opts for the slide show, can music and/or voice over be automatically and simulaneously played?
How? Thanx.

If you want to add background to a .Mac enhanced slideshow, it is going to take a little post-publishing editing....but it is possible. Check out this thread and especially Bruce Kirman's explanation and example. Very nice...

Editing Music for an IDVD slide show

Is there a way to edit a song that you are using when you are creating an IDVD? For example, I have a song I like for a particular slide show I've created. However, I want to edit out the first part of the song because it's just too slow. Is there a way to do this. I have I-Life - not sure if there is a program there I can use or if you can do it with IDVD
Thanks!

Each slide is treated as one chapter within iDvd's slideshow. Suggest you keep each slideshow at 99 slides or less for best results in predictable Dvd playback. If you exceed 99 slides per slideshow you may get mixed results depending on which set top dvd player one uses. Some set top players will freeze at slide #100, 200, etc. Some will pause briefly (like the pause between Dual Layers), and others won't read it at all. The 99 slideshow limit does not apply if one uses a mac for playback in most cases.
If you must exceed 99 slides then consider using iMovie or a 3rd party app to create the slideshow. Other than iM, here are 2 more apps that come highly recommended in this Forum:
http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/overview/
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
If you happen to own a QT Pro key, then it too has the ability to edit both audio and video (as do other apple video editing apps like iMovie and FCP/FCE).
Other apps that edit audio well are Garage Band as well as these handy 3rd party apps:

Hope this helps but if not just come on back.
