Multiple Music Tracks

I have 56 slides with songs that should start at slide #2, 7, 17, 23, and 28. If I add the appropriate audio track to the appropriate slides will it keep playing after I advance it to another side, and how can I get it to stop after X number of slides (in PPT, it's Custom animation > Effects Options > Stop Playing > After (x) Number of Slides).

I use Keynote for lectures in which a single music example is played while I display he sequence of pages of score. As you say, in PowerPoint this is achieved by telling the programme to play the music example while X number of slides are displayed. In Keynote you can use SmartBuild to achieve the same effect: here, though, the music example is assigned to a single slide, and the multiple pages of score are also assigned to that slide; each mouse click advances one page of score while the music continues to play.
1) Create new slide
2) Drag and drop the music file on to the slide and make sure that the sound icon is selected . Select 'View - Show Inspector'. On the Inspector pane, select the iTunes icon and then click the 'Start movie [sic] on click' box.
3) From the main menu bar select 'Insert - Smart Build' and choose the effect for the transition between images. (I use the first of these -- 'dissolve' -- though it would be more effective if a 'turn page' effect were available.)
4) Now simply drag each of the images in sequence on to the slide. If you make a mistake, then the order can be changed on the grey panel.
5) Go to 'Play Slideshow'. The slide will show the first image. Your first click will start the music and subsequent clicks will move through the images one by one. A final click advances to the next slide and stops the music.
I hope that this will help.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.
    If you want to make noise that will be heard louder than in here the best raise your request at http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/products/photoshop_family_photoshop_lightro om

  • Make multiple clips from one music track

    How do I trim my music track so that I can edit out parts in the middle--not just the ends?

    do the following:
    1. create the two different instrument tracks, let's say instr1 and instr2
    2. got to the environment window and search these two tracks and drag them a bit aside
    3. choose New/Transformer
    4. drag the Transformer object in the neighberhood of the two instrument tracks
    5. cable the output of instr1 to the input of the transformer object
    6. cable the output of the transformer object to the input of the instr2 track
    7. go back to the arrange window
    8. select instr1 and enjoy!

  • Export to Quicktime with multiple Audio Tracks?

    Hi all --
    I am on a tight deadline (48 hrs!) to deliver a Quicktime Prores file with 6 audio tracks: ch 1+2 dialog, ch 2+3 music&effects, ch 4+5 stereo mix. I'm working with FCP 6.
    Now, I have figured out how to export the FCP 6 project to a Quicktime file with multiple audio tracks (in the Project settings, I specify 3 stereo channels, then I assign each audio track to one of the channels and export everything to a Quicktime file).
    However, how can I send a stereo mix to channels 4+5?? FCP only allows me to assign each audio track one but not multiple output channels, and I didn't see a way where I could create a bus.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    Something is being miscounted here. You say you have dialog on 1+2 and then say you have M&E on 2+3? I think you meant to say 3+4 and the stereo mix will be on 5+6. The easiest way to do this is to copy tracks 1-4 to tracks 5-8 by shift-option-dragging them there. Holding option will copy the tracks instead of moving them and holding shift will insure that the tracks will not move earlier or later. Then send 5+6 (dialog) to the 5+6 output (using the info in the above referenced discussion) and send 7+8 (music&effects) also to the 5+6 output. Done.

  • Music track skipping and playing silence on iPhone

    Some music tracks play sections of silence, others are skipping randomly like a scratched record. This happens when playing on the built-in speakers or on headphones. Tracks affected can be either CD imports or iTunes purchases.
    I have the latest iTunes update, I have iOS4, I have re-synched, restored the phone multiple times, checked my hard drive... What can be the cause of this? I am prepared to do whatever it takes to solve the problem but I have run out of ideas. The Genii Apple Store have no idea what's causing it.
    iPhone is proving not to be viable as a music player. I now have to carry my old iPod in addition to my iPhone if I want music.
    anyone? please ??

    MP3 is a lossy compression - the more you do it the more your music tracks will degrade. Re-encoding the songs which have already been encoded will gradually reduce the quality (much the same as photocopying a photocopy). If you really need to re-encode something it's best to take it from the source, i.e. rip from CD again.
    Obviously this would be a bit time consuming for all your tracks, but I think if you really had to do this with your entire music collection every time iTunes is upgraded there must be something seriously wrong with iTunes.
    If you have track problems there's probably something in your computer software which is conflicting with the processes going on in iTunes. In my case it appears to be my antivirus. Do a bit of detective work and try switching a few things off to narrow it down, but you shouldn't have to go through a laborious process of re-encoding which will eventually degrade the quality of your music.

  • Multiple video tracks to line up with audio- iMovie or Finalcut??

    I am trying to make music videos, like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEzpIAdsur8&feature=channel_video_title
    I have iMovie, and my main problem is getting the video to line up with the audio. I can make the audio tracks like up just fine, but then I am stuck with just one video clip to use, I cant go back and forth between different video clips of me playing different instruments because I can't line them up perfectly with the song. Help?
    I have been debating wether or not to get final cut express 4, because from what the reviews say it allows multiple video tracks to be used. Would that solve my problem?

    This forum is for mobile iMovie (iPhone & iPad).

  • HOW TO ADD MULTIPLE AUDIO TRACKS - iMovie '11

    I'm having trouble adding multiple audio tracks in iMovie 11.  I already have an audio track embedded with the video and a separate music track under.  I wish to extend the music track further but need to cut it off at a certain point.  I tried just adding the 2nd music track under the first but when I 'drop' the track it doesn't show up anywhere.  Any ideas or work arounds will be helpful.  Thanks.

    you have to drag the music-clip onto a video-clip - then, iM will add it automatically upon/under the other ones ...

  • Synchronize multiple video tracks

    How can I synchronize multiple video tracks using iMovie? i.e.: I want to make videos of myself playing different instruments, and then use clips from each to make a music video (with the sound track being all the instruments combined). The problem is having each clip synchronized to the music.

    You would be much better off with Final Cut Pro 7, as it supports multi-cam clip editing.  This feature allows you to do what you want.  iMovie and Final Cut Pro X don't support this type of feature.

  • The point of multiple video tracks

    I am half way through the Adobe Premiere CS3 Classroom in a book and the only time multiple video tracks have been used is when working with multiple cameras and still there the multiple tracks where used only to sync up the four different cameras. In the book, to determine which camera angle to show the sequence had to be dragged into another sequence that was set to multi-camera.
    I see different marketing shots of the Premiere screen with lots of video tracks. How sand or why do folks use multiple video tracks? It seems that all the video transitions are between different clips on the same track, can a transition span tracks? Might there be some good videos or books that might enlighten me to some more advanced usages?
    Sam

    Here's an example...
    Video Track 1 - Clip (main program)
    Video Track 2 - Title (lower third graphics)
    Video Track 3 - Title (lower third text)
    Video Track 4 - Over the shoulder graphic (think "news report")
    Video Track 5 - Bug/logo lower left corner
    Audio Track 1 - Clip (main program)
    Audio Track 2 - Music (underneath)
    Audio Track 3 - Sound effects (whoosh! zing! bang!)
    Audio Track 4 - Audio commentary (director, talent)
    Just something to get your brain going. I've never used more than 10-15 video layers simultaneously (doing green screen work, titles, mattes, etc), and never more than about 6-10 audio tracks. But that's just me....many people need more than that to accomplish whatever they're doing.
    Another thought...even though you "can" do transitions and cuts all on one track for most simple projects, some people prefer to use the track numbers as an organizational structure. Put all your cuts for scene 1 on track 1, all your cuts for scene 2 on track 2, and so on. This can be very useful for scanning the timeline and looking for specific changes in the overall storyline (whereas a single, long track would require another system of organization...either sequence markers or perhaps pure memorization).
    Hope this helps!
