Re: keynote - music stops sometimes then re-starts

Thank you Ronni -

Re: Problem 2

I will try this so I can have several favourite tracks with my longer  
Slide-shows.  It makes sense!   Peta




Re:  Problem 1 - Does anyone know why the music stops and starts (I  
have completely deleted all music and replaced with a fresh track at  
least 20 times - so it is not the particular piece of music).  I have  
never had this problem in Powerpoint.

Hi

I have taught myself Powerpoint on my notebook but have now bought  
an Applemac.  I usually make slide shows from my (many) scanned  
and digital photos on various topics.


I am now trying to work with Keynote to do similar projects as  
with Powerpoint, and have taught myself a reasonable amount.


However, I have two problems.

Problem 1

I can successfully add music from my itune library to my  
slideshow.  However, when I play my slideshow this music sometimes  
stops for no reason, then restarts - several times during the  
slideshow.  Sometimes jiggling the mouse seems to help.  At times  
the whole show just stops until the music is ready to start up  
again.


Problem 2

Instead of "looping" the music to recommence when it has played  
all the way through, sometimes on a long slide show I would like  
to add a second (or third) song after the whole of the first song  
has played.  This does not seem to be possible, as working with  
Inspector just replaces the first song which I had inserted.


Hello Peta,

The only way to play more than one music track completely and in  
succession is to create a soundfile or playlist of the music tracks  
off-line (for example in Garage Band or iTunes) and then import this  
soundfile as the Soundtrack for the slideshow.
You can do this in the Inspector > Document > Audio > Soundtrack  
menu. This will play as the slideshow progresses and changes slides.


The Soundtrack will begin playing together with the first slide of  
your slideshow and continue until the end of the audio. To get all  
of the Builds and Transitions in your slides to synchronise with the  
audio track, you will need to Record the track, which also can be  
done from this same window.


Also, remember that if you do have a Soundtrack, you need to remove  
any individual audio tracks you may have imported into any slides.

Otherwise, they will play simultaneously when the slide comes up.

Cheers,
Ronni
