Hey,

I've added a slideshow at the end of a dvd movie as a separate chapter and also added music to it. When I preview it, it plays fine. but when I burn it DVD and play the slide show chapter you can hear audio from the previous chapter for about 2 second then the actual music kicks in :/ why is this happening?

Also the slideshow is 13 mins long so the same song repeating itself can get tedious how do I add more than 1 song to a slideshow?

thanks

You add the song(s) in the Music track. Place the song under the slide show where you want to song to play.

Split the Main Video track at the point of the Slideshow.
Mute the split part of main video track.

You can move the songs around on the music track. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Hi Mono -

Just adding to what Carl has suggested, you can either butt your music up together or overlap them (in different tracks) & set one to fade out as the other fades in.

This can be done in PD or (as shown below) in an external audio editor.

Cheers - Tony

Another option is to use the sideshow wizard and insert your music that way. Q9300 2.5 GHz

Thanks very much, but it seems a bit difficult. If you use Kvisoft slideshow maker with music, adding music to slideshow is a very easy thing.
