Had a look at Acid (I would want to be tripping!!,sorry could'nt resist that) $350.00............................... Noooooooooooooooooo way Amigo, Clive

Just a note !!!! very funny I have a funnier one Rod........ Me trying to compose a soundtrack Ha!! Ha!! Alrobin had a good idea along the same lines only for the RECORD he was doing it from SCRATCH, I hope when he gets around to it he will share it with the forum. It is a good idea for anyone with a bit of talent in that direction I shall give Acid a look though Regards, Clive.

Thank You for the lesson, Nice Work Michael Regards Clive

I have Done the above and get a message" Music files not found" Yet I can go into the zip and play them from there Duh!!! Clive. Ps removing the music files and the show works fine,

Sorry Hit Reply Twice!

Hello Bluechip, I also cannot use *wma., wav., files pte just will not recogise them so like Guru suggests I convert them to mp3 for which you will need a little bit of software a Ripper there are lots available I think mine cost $20.00 as a download ., funny though I downloaded some midi samples and some royalty free samples and they save as mp3 files since I have installed a ripper. Regards Clive.

Good point Sharon, It only takes a glance at any Music CD to see its copyright protected which is why Maureen and Alrobin's along with other members "Suggestions" of using royalty free Music are so helpful. I am not suggesting everyone creating a slideshow should go down this road but if you are distributing a CD for commercial gain ie.,promoting your work then obviously you should respect the author of the piece's rights and entitlements for the use of their music, I am sure he had to pay some photographer or artist for the photographs on the CD sleve..............But yes Gotta have a good track for impact no arguements!!!!!!!! Regards Clive,

Hi All, I downloaded "TRAVAIL" and could not get it to run as a slideshow, anyone know why it would not run?? I cannot find anything thats appears to look like a exe. file there appears to be two music files also seven jpgs. one of which is breathtaking ... "lac.jpg" ....bet Michael hung around there for a while Anyway I Know the members who have already replied to this will be able to answer this for me so thanks in advance What has this got to do with LarryB's ??????? nothing I guess But good luck with your choice of transitions and I know sometimes our opinions get the better of our humility but I am sure we do not mean to be too critical (little rascal in the keyboard takes over our brain) Keep on Rocking Larry, Regards Clive.

opps!!!!!!!!!! Last post was meant for Marian wakey wakey Clive

Hi Normeister, Could you elaborate on your defences I would be very interested to hear how and it might put an end to this topic , though I would'nt bet on it .Somebody reckons burning on DVD should solve it with the correct preventitive software , look forward to your reply Clive.

Maureen thanks for the tips I had a good old browse in your selection and my fav., was sounddogs.com everything from jazz to classical ,rock hip hop even sound effects alas no oohs or ahs!!! sorry Al . but boy is there some choice folks it seems to be more difficult to keep honest ie, getting licenced etc, than to steal someone,s art or work what a pity ,I notice another thread started on the thorny nine letter word it concerns us all here we have a fab program for a mere $30 how much would we pay someone with the right software to protect our images which in my case along with many others is my living I do not expect a lot of people to understand this if its not their main or only source of income so chill folks and respect one anothers views..... Alan Lyons what happened to the environmentally freindly colour ???? dont forget April 12th please keep me informed and thanks again Maureen for such a complete list of sites........this chick ROCKS!!!!........Clive

Indeed classical tracks are usually very suitable for creating the right mood it can work well if the viewer (listener) knows the track but cannot rember from where a good example is The Godfather Part 111 Everyone will associate Impressario (on the steps of the opera house) with the film, but not so Preludio Cavelleria Rusticana it leaves a bit of mystery a little less obvious I think its my personal taste only.......Regards & keep on Rocking...Clive.

Hi Larry, sorry to hear of your frustration I do not have your answer but having recently had to reload my system I lost my key and was dealt with immediatly perhaps it's a security thing anyway welcome to the forum where you will find great help from your fellow members it,s amazing the amount of knowledge out there good luck with P2E regards ........Clive, Ps, I am suprised you do not have a dozen answers by now its most likely a question for admin,

Well ask and you shall recieve,... very impressive Maureen, what a list to choose from I will be trawling through them for the next hour or so also I should check out the cost of said licence fee once again it goes to show the great support this forum gives to us regards ......Clive

Well Pushu you should not have mentioned copyright in your post "Music choice for background" but its an issue that just won't go to bed anyway I will have to check out Alan Lyons' recommendation , also Al's route via Midi is a sound (excuse the pun) bit of thinking and keeps it safe when its for commercial use ,I would be very intrested to hear what your ooh's and ah's composed by Alrobin would sound like who knows maybe a new canadian rap master of the Future ,I did a wedding fair yesterday and the choice of music for the fashion show was excellent "Melody AM" by Royskopp something along the same lines as "Air" very athmospheric electronic pop but I am still taking Al and Alan's advice.......... me no like the courts.......Keep on rocking , Clive

Al BIG thanks I have just download a couple of sonatas by Mozart there is nothing wrong with the quality for my intended use and no they would not win any awards but then thats not an issue also Al the download time and size is incredible again good thinking . regards , Clive. ps, neat web site

Thanks for your input Ron I will certainly check it out , unlike Pushu I give away this Cd but with rights and ownership reserved it may look over cautious but there has been some strange rulings in Ireland recently in the courts so that is where I was going with "Royalty Free" and I agree wholeheartedly with you But being able to distribute a Cd of your work is great it to my mind proven and a powerful ad with the help of the greatest PTE so anyone else with some good tips like Ron's is most welcome keep rocking........ Clive

Okay no dirty nine letter words but I agree a slideshow without music just lacks Big Time no matter how good the images are Van The Man ah! yes indeedy Have you ever come across "A love album for the ninties by Acker Bilk I am not a Fan but for background music it is worth a look also Ennio Maraconni ( I think thats how his name is spelt) "At the movies" The Mission Gabriel's Oboe" etc......... As you say it lends a feel good thing to the viewer. I have to convert any music files (with paid for software!!!!) to mp3 format before I can save them to a show, it appears from discussions in this forum that wav are supported but somehow not for me, Does anyone know of Royalty free music , this is a serious question .I use a slideshow promo CD at wedding fairs and for any enquiries and besides the nine letter word I need to be mindfull of any infringments on publishing rights so anything to make it safer or more legitimate would be most welcome ,any ideas folks ???? Regards, Clive

Thank you for your email Don yes once you get good help everything seems easy and I got lots from this forums membership so my Cd's are taking on a new light I have also touched base with a Friend from the past Alan Lyons who has being helping aspiring photographers for years in Dublin through The Photographic Society of Ireland anyone looking for an interesting way to learn about the craft should look them up .Don have you tried the autorun utility freedownload on beechbrook its the an excellent way to introduce your show thanks again for your email and keep on rocking Clive.

Just leaves the small question of copyright or am I missing something ? Clive

Looking foward to that anything to make life lazier, Clive

Hi jrb you certainally have enough cash for a decent second camera B&H of New York have a very good selection of cameras on their web site and if you look for something from Canon Nikon Minolta Ricoh or any of the more popular brands you should not be displeased with any of these and adding to your kit later on you will have a better choice of gear and like I say its a tidy sum to have to spend Regards, Clive.

Got sorted and a big thanks to all out there for your help Clive.

Thanks to everyone for their support on this but can someone explain to this dummy what or where is the root folder in the CD once again keep Rocking folks
