Thanks for your reply. I appreciate you taking some time on my question. "Ignoring" a second piece of music has also happened a couple of times.
Am I wrong believing that the slideshow function would spread all of the photos out evenly to match the audio length? I just want my 57 photos to play evenly though my 2 songs at about 6 minutes. It seems counterproductive to what the function supposedly does automatically to go through and change the timing for every single image. I'm rather disappointed that something seemingly so simple has captured many hours of my time.
If this slideshow function won't do this, I guess I will have to just have each image on the timeline with no motion, just clicking through each photo and match that up to the length of the audio. Not nearly as visually appealing but a lot less frustrating.

G'day Mark!! -
First time I've taken a good look at Slideshow Designer in PDR18, but I spent ridiculous amounts of time on it in easrlier versions.
I can say that the features & performance of SS Designer in PDR18 is not the same as PDR13! e.g. In PDR13, selecting "Fit photos to music" would usually result in photos being repeated or left out, where in PDR18 timings are adjusted to match music duration.
In my test just now, for whatever reason, PDR18 ignored the 2nd piece of music I selected when trying to replicate your scenario.
Are you aware that in PDR18 (not 13!) in SS Designer, if you click Customize in Motion SS, you can adjust the timings of every photo manually?
Cheers - Tony

I feel like this should be the simplest thing but I'm getting frustrated trying to get a slideshow together.
I've imported my photos, selected motion slideshow, added my songs, selected fit slidshow to music, but I can't get the slides to spread out evenly to end after the second song. It ends at the first song and then starts the pictures over agan partially until the second song ends. I need 57 images spread out over 6 minutes of music. I have also tried combining both songs into one single track, even overlapping them so there is no audio gap, but the program still does the same thing.
I upgraded to 18 just on the basis that I could add multiple songs to a slideshow creation, but I'm not getting anything different than what I had with 13.
What am I missing? I need this for a memorial in a week and I've spent way too much time on something that should supposedly be a couple clicks and set up for me with the program.
Any help is appreciated.
