My wife Terry & I are professional photographers and have had to produce a presentation set to music of a major event we photographed & thought we'd give PTE a try as it was recommended in a Digital Photography magazine. The still images of the event can be seen on http://www.jtsfoto.com/aem. We will post an abreviated (it's 20 minutes) version of the slideshow for other PTE users to view in the near future. We are probably one of the many original requestors for waveform to added to PTE. We used Audacity for this slideshow and found it terribly primitive & not easy to use. We have now purchased Sound Forge, which is appears to be more flexible & easier to use. Besides the normal issues of syncing the slides to music, the bigger problem for us is that the music is never the exact length you need for a slide sequence & have to push, squeeze, stretch, fade & add bits in to the music to make it fit. We would really find this useful. Thanks to all who use the PTE forum as it is really full of useful info.

Thanks for the advice Al I have tried this method, however, the time line is not usually the same as the wave in the sound editor because I tend to use more than one piece of music. I guess I could combine al the music into one file. It might end up being long. My last attempt at creating a slide show was over 18 minutes long with 9 sections, each to its own music. Is there any chance of ADMIN making a wave available in a future release? Also I noticed that nothing changes when I try to zoom in on the time line.

Hello everyone, I have just put together a lengthy slideshow syncronised to music. Is there a way to display the wave pattern in addition to the time line. It would make the sync process much quicker and easier. Thanks for a great forum Terry

I have had a similar experience to Gogs. In fact, not only is there a pause between tracks of music, but any transition spanning two tracks is jerky.
