Listen to a basic MP3 Version of our Pawcast!

I tried this, but wasn’t able to read my iTunes playlists from iPhoto (your step #5). Any suggestions?

Thanks.

The only way I could figure it out was to burn an iTunes CD and Advanced/Join CD Tracks to create a single song consisting of multiple songs for the slideshow.

Hope that helps

I tried, and it worked well. however… I i set my playlist to crossfade in itunes, but when iphoto played it back.. it just cut between songs. any suggestions?

I did the music with the slideshow for my father-in-law’s wake…old photos with music from his era. There were so many photos, it went on for 20 minutes. I used music from CDs that I brought into iTunes. Folks loved it so much they wanted copies. So I exported the slideshow with the music to a Quicktime movie. The file size was huge (too large to fit on a CD), so I selected the smallest QT movie size, that got the file size down to 300 MB. PROBLEM—only the first song is in the QT movie. After that song is finished, there is dead silence. Does anyone know how I can get all the songs to be included in the QT movie when I export? Is there a secret setting that I missed? I want to keep this simple, I don’t want to use other apps and I don’t want to edit the music into one long piece. Any ideas?

This doesn’t seem to work on iPhotos 08 – any one any ideas what might have changed

I also couldn’t see the playlist. How did you join the tracks? Why can’t there be more than one song? Thanks!

When you press Music on an iPhoto slideshow, a folder pops up showing iTunes. Click the little “down” arrow next to the iTunes sign, all the playlists should come out. Then select the playlist you want.

Is there a way to edit the songs within the playlist I chose for the slideshow so that there is less transition silence between the songs? My slideshow uses a playlist of 3 songs and I’d like them to blend one into the other without a break (or at least a very short break).

This helped so much!! I got it right away!! Thank you so much!

This part is easy and works fine BUT I modified the start/stop times of the songs in the playlist on Itunes, and it would still play the full song versions during slideshow. ????

Here is what you need

How can I have a song play for one set of photos and then another song start at a new set of photos in the slideshow?

I always take all the songs I want and put them together with garage band. Send it back to iTunes and add it to the slidshow. This always works for me.

I tried this and it worked, except that it will only play the first song on the play list, over and over again. Any ideas?
