Slideshow Song Issue

Quick question. I am making a slideshow and the audio is having problems. I have 4 songs that play throughout the entire slideshow one after the other. None of them are DRM so that's not the issue, but when I export it, the first song does not export at all. The first 1.5 minutes of the video are silent with nothing playing where the music should be. After that song, the rest play normally. The entire slideshow plays as normal in the preview mode of Aperture.
I have tested the video in two different video playing programs.
Any help would be appreciated. Is this a known issue?

I had the same issue. I used one song for the entire slide show. It is my understanding that you can put your music track in either way. When I put the music track in as a bar on the bottom it would not export the audio. When I put it in as a solid green background it worked fine. So, when do you put the audio track in as a green bar at the bottom? Are there certain circumstances that you use this method? I haven't played around with putting two or more tracks of music on a slide show yet, but it appears the originator of this thread did that without success. Any answers to this dilemma?
Amended: After experimenting with it some more, it appears that you should put the first track down so that the entire background is green and the subsequent tracks in as green bars on the bottom. Is this right? Is this how it is supposed to work? That is not clear in the manual.

Lightroom 4.1 Slideshow Skipping Issue

I have tried creating a slideshow in Lightroom 4.1 and followed all of the necessary steps Adobe has provided. On computer the slideshow seems fine but ufortunately, when I burn the slideshow to a DVD for Television, the slides skip. I think it may have something to do with the rendering of the slides as they are moving from one picture to the next. anyone have any tips for making the files smaller or another way around this problem? I heard something about Blu-Ray disks are better for Television slideshows compared to regular DVDS. Does anyone know if this is accurate? Also I use Garageband to link songs together and bring that into Lightroom and fit to music. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cabrini,
We haven't got any issues reporting aruond the issue like this.
Could you please try to export the slideshow file to the drive i.e. Desktop and check the file.
If the file doesnt have anything missing then if you use any software to write the files over to DVD it shouldnt miss any data.
You can follow the link below to make sure the workflow followed by you is fine.

Slideshow songs not repeating

I've created a slideshow that uses one song that is set to repeat.
When I play it through iPhoto, the song repeats properly. However, when I export it to Quicktime or iDVD, the song plays once, leaving the second half of the slideshow with no music.
Any thoughts?

Hmm, deleted the event, and recreated it this morning and everything seems to be working (I had originally noticied the issue yesterday). Must have been a bug that was fixed.

1st Gen Ipod Nano - Shuffle Songs Issue

Everyday I take my 1st gen ipod nano with me for a walk and just select shuffle songs. My walk takes about an hour, but my nano in shuffle mode seems to play alot of the same songs over and over everyday in shuffle mode. I have almost 800 songs on the nano. Is there someway of getting my nano to shuffle up the songs a little better so that I'm not hearing the same songs over and over?

I am having the exact same issue with my iPod, 5th generation. I would like to know if there is a way to change the setup so it will shuffle it better.

Can't locate song issue

I Recently had a problem with my iTunes, the problem being that it wouldn't open when i clicked on the shortcut or tried opening it from start menu. I went: control panel > programs > selected iTunes > repair. To see if that would fix it, it didn't so I then just uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, now for nearly every song in my library; whether its from iTunes store or c.d's. I'm getting the 'could not be used as the orginal file could not be found' message. I've seen a few other people on these froums with this issue and I've tried the suggested method of fixing the problem (go to music > artists > albums > file) but that doesn't work on mine, there are none fo the songs that are having the issue in that folder. Anyone have any other ideas?

You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You'll get better support responses by posting to the Using iPhone forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/using_iphone

Song Issues

Warp 7.7 by The Bloody Beetroots is only loading to 40 seconds then stopping. Is this an issue for anyone else? If not can someone help me fix it? I have tried taking the music quality off of high and restarting Spotify but that did nothing for the song. Any help would be appreciated. spotify:artist:0QJKELJZZuLAjqLOOixJm5

What version of Spotify are you using? They're rolling out the 1.0.10 update atm. The first step you should take is making sure you're using the latest desktop app.
Please do a clean reinstallation, making sure to download the latest release.

IPhoto 11 - slideshow music issue on manual picture change

Hi community,
do you experience the same behaviour?
When navigating through the pictures in an iPhoto 11 slideshow manually e.g. by using forward and backward arrow keys, then the music always stutters or let's say "jumps" a little bit. Very annoying!
Does anybody have the same issue? Does anybody know a solution for this?
Thanks in advance,
Flo

Yes. iPhoto is jumping to the music synced to that slide when you use the advanced arrow key. That's normal. The only solution is to let the slideshow play itself out.

Slideshow Decoder issue

I've seen a few people having this problem but haven't seen a solution that works. Spece/tech details are...
Windows 8 Pro 64Bit
32Gb Ram
1TB+ free space
Intel I7 3820CPU
Nvidia GTX 560Ti GPU
Master Suite CS6
All Software/OS updates applied.
I am trying to make a DVD slideshow. I used the Photoshop actions to resize save as TIFF's all images as well using the actions to remove the flicker.
When I try to use the "Import As/Slideshow" fucntion in Encore I get the attached dialog box. I have created a standard Encore project using only default settings. I have re-run all alctions and created new Encore projects, same result every time.
I have installed quicktime/VLC/Codec Pak to ensure the the H 264 codec is installed and working, it is.
I stall get this problem, and Encore refuses to import any of my files.
Any help would be great.

I work with 16-bit Images too, and Scale to match my Project (am always doing this in PrPro, but it's the same). I always include a line in my Action to change the Bit-Depth to 8-bit, before doing the Save_As.
It would be the same, if I was working with CMYK Images (only do those for delivery to a printer), in that I would have a line in the Action to change Color Mode to RGB.
Glad that you found the issue and good luck,

Encore 2.0 mpeg i-frame slideshow compatibility issue

I suspect this is more a glitch report than a question but just in case someone else encounters it only to become completely baffled, it may save them much time and frustration.
Most of the technical information is from Adobe Support Knowledgebase Article Document 332456 "Troubleshoot preview and playback issues (Adobe Encore DVD 2.0) http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/332456.html
My problem was as follows; I created many slideshows consisting of 60 bmps each. Encore imported/scaled and swapped to png's/and previewed them fine. Each slideshow had a 6 second duration for each slide with no transitions or pan and zoom enabled. It was only when I had burnt to a DVD-R and played them using my Philips DVD player that "occasionaly" the 2nd slide of "some" (not all) slideshows would only appear for a split second before progressing. And so ignorning the 6 second duration set for the slideshow as a whole. If I would then go back to the root menu and play it again, most times the 2nd slide would hold for the 6 seconds. Similarily even when the 2nd slide was skipped if I did chapter back to it, it would then display for the intended 6 seconds. So you can see why I was completely baffled by "why only the second slide" and "why only occasionally" (as after all this is hardware and logically should behave the same under the same circumstances each time).
This then led me to the above mentioned Adobe support article which I will quote from; "Many DVD players, both set-top and software, handle playback of slideshows differently. To conserve disc space, Encore DVD creates an MPEG I frame for each slide then assigns a duration for that frame based on the slide's duration. Many players cannot accurately display these and will instead display only a single frame of the image before reverting to a black screen for the duration of the slide."
The article then goes on to propose a work around which essentially involves using pan/zoom or even Premiere Pro to create a video version of the slideshow. All which would avoid using the mpeg i-frame method.
My only guess as to the cause of my problem is that maybe Encore's method of encoding mpeg i-frames may not strictly adhere to what is defined by the mpeg-2 specification. This claim is based mainly on two pieces of evidence:
1) On the same Philips LX3000D player I can play without problems other i-frame based slideshows created using other DVD authoring software (mainly tested with Ulead)
2) If I burn any Encore project with slideshows to a DVD folder and play that folder, my version of Cyberlink PowerDVD XP 4.0 (or Windows Media Player which would use the same mpeg decoder anyway) will completely ignore any set slideshow duration or other settings and simply display each slide for about 1 second.
As there appears to be no mention of a similar problem in all the forums I realise that it must work fine for other users. But just in case someone else has come across it I would be most interested to hear any conflicting/co-oberative evidence you might have.

Yes when I compare the size of the VOBs they are of similiar size. Maybe this is another clue as two slideshows made exactly the same way using two authoring programs (one being Encore) produce slightly different size vob files. I assume they might be using different data rates but again the mpeg specification for i-frames stipulates that their data rate is defined at something like 2.0 mbps.

Slideshow export issues

I'm running Yosemite 10.10 & iPhoto 9.6. I've created a 28 minute slideshow using the Scrapbook theme. The Slideshow plays fine in iPhoto. I export the Movie 1080p without error using the export button. The resulting file starts to play fine, and then after a minute the video continues to play but reverts to the first frame picture. At 10 minutes the video plays normally for 1 minute and then the same thing happens. At 20 minutes the same thing again. When I imported the file into iMovie I can see that the video has been made that way by iPhoto export (this is not a playback issue). This is totally different to how it plays within iPhoto itself. Any Ideas?

Bill,
It looks like they are all 400x300.
I can increase or decrease that in Photoshop if need be.
Thanks.

Adobe elements 9 slideshow-codec issue

I am new to this slideshow process, but have successfully created a 24 min video, have added my pictures and transitions into the slideshow. Now I was about to add audio to it. However, I have been able to get anything to work. My I-tunes songs weren't working, so then I tried purchasing mp3 songs from Amazon. I have those songs loaded on my computer. When I go to add the audio, I get this message: "unable to add audio file...mp3. The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compresser/decompresser (codec) installed."
What do I do? I need to have this video for an end of season party in two days! I don't know how to fix this. Thanks. Panic-ed-Volleyball Team Mom

Take the problem audio into the free audio editor Audacity and convert the .mp3 to .wav. Then import the .wav into Premiere Elements with its Add Media/Files and Folders.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 running on?
We will be watching for your results.
Thank you.

Exported Slideshow Colour Issues

Hello,
I've created a slideshow, and managed to export it without any problems, but when I viewed the exported slideshow, the colours had changed dramatically. Vivid oranges and reds seemed blown-out, skin tones didn't look right, etc.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I would like to add my issue to that of Jacqueline's. I have exported a number of pictures from iPhoto to flash drives, CD, and a show in DVD. As with the color issue referenced by Jacqueline, I also see images coming out a bit darker, with more contrast, than I see on my MacBookPro in iPhoto.
I would also appreciate help if it could that something with my MacBookPro screen settings or if I am doing something wrong in the transfer process.
Thanks.

Yet another tagged songs issue

Ok all, I have another question about tagged songs. I figured out how to buy a tagged song. On a windows machine, you have to hit the applications key and then there is a buy option. I bought two songs this way, but when I connected my IPod the other day to purchase a song I had tagged since I bought the last song, the buy option is no longer available. How do I buy the songs now?

I use the above Cooler Master PSU, zero issues. Has 4 pci-e connectors, so it's ready for quad sli if I ever want to go that route with my P6n Diamond. Has lots of different connection options, highly rated PSU. Not all Cooler Master PSUs underperform, just have to know what you're buying. The above supply also has 2 8 pin connectors so for instance when my GTX 295 arrives I'll have no trouble (card uses 6/8 pin). Reviews also can be helpful.

Purchased songs issue on multiple devices

I purchased some songs on Macbook Pro and songs download fine and I can play them without issues. My issues is the songs appear on my Imac (which my main itunes library resides) but are shaded so I cannot play or download them. I am runing Itunes Match and was under the understanding the songs purchased can be downloaded on any of devices I own. I have contacted itunes support but they could not resolved it.
I have had no issues with previously purchased songs and this just started recently.

Hello jazzyaw
As long as you are running iTunes Match, you can delete the tracks and make sure to keep them on iTunes Match. After it is gone you can download them again to get them to play again.

ITunes deleting and resyncing 200 songs issue

Every time I sync my iPod Touch, iTunes removes approximately 220 of my songs and then "re-syncs" them onto the iPod. This happens without altering my iTunes library at all. And if I look at the sync bar in iTunes it is always the exact same 200+ songs. It makes syncing take much longer than it needs to. Any suggestions?

When you say that it is taking longer, do you mean that its taking like 5, 10 minutes longer to sync, or like a minute longer. Itunes and the ipod will update song info on the ipod like play count info, or any changed playlists. It will not actually change the songs, but you will see it updating the info for the individual songs and playlists on the ipod. If it is actually changing 200+ songs its going to add a significant amount of time, like 5 ten minutes every sync. Which is it?
