Touble adding music to slide shows

Having real trouble adding music to slide shows.
Files are MP3 where is says compresser decompressor (Codec) error
CD music files are not recognised
Have elements 8 but loaded a trial of elements 12 and same result
Can load music in premier as a project but not in photoshop / organiser
Cannot save project as a DVD which you can do in photoshop elements 8
Can anyone give advice - spent hours if not days trying things out.

Try the free Audacity software (Google it) and convert the .MP3 files to .WAV files. .WAV are uncompressed and most Adobe products can handle them natively without the need for external codecs.
Cheers,
Neale

  • Adding Music to slide show in Photoshop Elements 8

    I am trying to add music to a slide show in Photoshop Elements 8. When I go to add the music I get the following message:
    The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compresser/decompresser (codec) installed.
    I've tried downloading a copy of things from the internet and either they were the wrong things or I didn't know how to use them, so I uninstalled them.
    Can someone point me in the right direction of what I need to download and what I do once I download the software?
    Thanks so much!

    I'm using MP3 and getting the same error.  Yes, the file does play in Windows Media player and in iTunes. The song I'm trying to use was purchased from Amazon.
    Any advice on how to add this would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Need Help Adding Music to Slide Show - PS Elements 11

    I am using PS Elements 11 to create a slide show. The photos and transitions are complete. But when I try to add music in an mp3 format, the songs are there but the text for the songs does not appear in the bar below the photos in the slide show review mode. All I can see is a fuzzy gray line. I need to see the text for the songs so I can trim and reorder the songs. I have tried to create a new slide show with new music but the music area is also fuzzy. Texts appeared one time but no longer. Please help! Need for Wed.!!!!

    Welcome to the forum.
    As Mylenium points out, this is not the Photoshop Elements Forum.
    I will Move your post to the PSElements Forum, where you will get the answers to your question.
    Good luck,

  • Adding music to slide show

    Is it possible to add PART of a song to a slide show? I've made an iTunes playlist with 2 songs in it, but I would like the slide show music to have 2 1/2 songs.

    DNG:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Another application that I use is Amadeus II. Although not free you can edit songs with it, clipping dead space, do fade ins and outs, change formats and join multiple tracks and then save as a new file. Very versatile.
    Users who use Garageband report you can do the same with it but I don't use it so can't confirm. I did try it once and found it a bit overkill and more complicated that I needed.

  • Adding music to slide shows??

    does anyone know if there is a limit tot he number of songs you can add to a slide show? i'm not having any luck getting all the music i want into a lengthy slide show.... it keeps looping back to the 1st song and starting over after about 15 songs....

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How may photos are in the slideshow? I've not heard of a limit but your 15+ songs is the largest number I've seen discussed here.
    Is it the same song that begins the looping? If so try switching them out and see if there's any change.

  • Having trouble adding music to slide shows

    I've always been able to add specific songs from itunes to a iphoto slide show. Now when I go to add music the viewer just lists my playslists but won't open to show songs in the playlist. My only option is to play the entire playlist. I am using Itunes 7 and Iphoto 6.
    Also, when I try to add music to a slide show in powerpoint, the view shows songs in my music folder, no playlists, and it only show some of the songs, naturally not the ones I want.
    Any suggestions?

    Try the free Audacity software (Google it) and convert the .MP3 files to .WAV files. .WAV are uncompressed and most Adobe products can handle them natively without the need for external codecs.

  • Still no EASY drag 'n drop solution adding music to slide show in iWeb

    I wonder if there in the year 2008 - using iWeb '08 (2.0.2) - still doesn't exist an EASY drag 'n drop solution that within iWeb let's you add iTunes Plus songs (without DRM) to a slide show!?!?
    I would like to add this to this little site about the band my daughter sings in:
    http://web.mac.com/hekock/neon!Zink/Ungdomsringens_Musikfestival.html

    I always wonder why in the year 2008 it's difficult to put a descriptive caption under a picture instead of DSC01991.JPG, DSC01992.JPG, DSC01993.JPG, DSC01994.JPG, DSC01995.JPG.

  • Adding music to slide show WEB GALLERY

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    How did you make this gallery? Are you talking about a .Mac Gallery? These are only supported on v7 (iLife 08) and you'r posting in the v6 forum.

  • Can music downloaded from iTunes be added to a slide show in Elements 12?

    Can music downloaded from iTunes be added to a slide show in Elements 12? I can't get it to load into Photoshop Elements. When I finally get to the file it kind of just disappears. Do I have to get the song from someplace else?

    Barbara, I don't know how to get to the artwork to remove it. I saw a post on this forum on how to show hidden files and went to the control panel and followed the instructions. I still can't see any hidden files or artwork. Hope you can tell me where I am going wrong.

  • Can video files be added to a slide show in Elements 5 or 10?

    Can video files be added to a slide show in Elements 5 or 10?

    I would recommend PSE11/PRE11 if you want to use them on an integrated basis. Only the current product is supported by Adobe. Or you could get PRE10 if you are not concerned about support.
    But be aware that one version will not integrate with another. They will work as stand alone apps but you would loose some flexibility. For example I start in the Slideshow editor in PSE, add my photos and transitions and then click Output >> Edit with PRE. The slideshow gets sent automatically as a clip and I can do further editing, add video, add music and narration etc.

  • Music to slide show?

    Can I play music in my slide show (within my awesome website for my son's little league baseball team, thanks iWeb)
    thanks
    roger

    Roger,
    Yes you can add music to your slideshow.
    Here are instructions from iweb help:
    In the site organizer, select the webpage you want to add the audio to.
    Do one of the following:
    To add a single audio file, drag it to the image placeholder on a webpage or to the webpage canvas. If you drag the audio file to the image placeholder on a blog (the Blog or Podcast template), iWeb creates a podcast. (See the podcast topics below.)
    To add more than one audio file, drag them to the webpage canvas. (Select more than one file at a time by Command-clicking.)
    To add links to the songs in the iTunes Music Store (not the audio files themselves), drag a playlist (from the Media Browser or iTunes) or a song from the iTunes Music Store to the webpage canvas.
    If you added audio files (not links), you can drag a graphics file to the placeholder above each song's audio controls. Or you can create a text box with a solid color fill to put over the placeholder. You can resize the graphic and the audio controls by dragging the handles.
    Hope this helps,

  • Music for slide show

    I am creating a slide show and the music I use is a bit short so it plays twice. It there any way to eliminate the delay (silence) when it starts again. Maybe this is something I need to do in iTune?
    Thanks for all the great tips I keep reading on this forum.

    Thanks that worked. I thought it might be a setting in iPhoto but it was a silence of a few seconds at the end of the track and I was able to remove it. Great.

    Click on the slideshow button. Then in the changed toolbar, click on Music. A sheet drops from the top of the screen. Uncheck 'Play Music During Slideshow'

  • Can't turn on music in slide show.  Says it's playing - no sound

    The background sound music no longer plays in my slide shows.  What do I need to do to get it restored? 

    I'm not sure but it sounds like not all of your bsd system layer stuff got installed. Try using Pacifist to check and see that all your bsd system stuff got installed, and if it didn't, install it. HTH.
