Hi Mike,

You can basically have whatever slideshow formats in the timeline that you want and it's very easy to do.

Lets say you have your 150 images in the timeline and you want images 20-30 in a cell slideshow, highlight image 20, hold down the shift key and highlight image 30, all images between 20-30 are now highlighted. Click on the slideshow button and create the cell slideshow. Then repeat for any other slideshow formats that you want to make with the remaining images and add transitions between images not included in your slideshow.

Thanks Robert for your reply. I'll give that a try!

I created a slideshow and set it to Fit Photos to Music. When I play the slideshow, it repeats images at the end. I just want it to show each image once, ending with the last one.

Is this a bug? I'm using the latest version of PD7.

Thanks!

That's real nice, but it doesn't address my question. I guess I'll contact CyberLink tech support.

William,

I'm not sure it's a bug but I believe this is what happens. If you use a normal slideshow I think the pics might be set at 5sec duration. If you don't have enough pics for the length of music, it duplicates the pics rather than adding duration to each pic. If you have more pics than music, it does not use some of the pics and echoes a message to that effect and leaves the pics at the end of the slide show.

Not sure if it's a bug, I think it's more just CL implementation. Several of us have made comments for improvements to this feature since PD7 was released but really have not seen much yet.

A couple ways around your problem.
1) create slideshow format as you wish with no music
2) produce slide show to a file
3) load file back into PD7 and load music file you wish into music track
4) adjust speed of your imported produced video file to match your music duration

The above obviously works best if the duration of your slide show and the duration of your music are about the same. If not, when you adjust the speed of the video to match the music the video will be too fast or too slow for pleasant viewing.

Jeff,

Thanks for the reply. I'll give your suggestion a try.

I've also contacted Tech Support about this. Perhaps it will turn into a development request so that it will work as expected or add more settings to have better control of the behavior.
