Hello,

When I create a slideshow, the video stops ten seconds short of the end of the song. Any ideas? I've worked with it for about an hour, not sure what to do. The audio file is fine. Thanks for your time.

Hi Metolious. I was able to duplicate this and it worked. I'm just wondering if this worked for you too.

Hey! Thanks for the replies. I did not get it to work! This is what I figured out though. The preview was what was cutting short. The song and video I made is 1 minute 49 seconds long. The preview when making the slideshow stops at 1:39, BUT when I actually produce the video to my hard drive and watch it, it turns out just fine.

There's no reason for the music to be cut short like that in the rendered file, but I've had occasional issues with PD "removing the opening/closing phrase of the music.
