Ellen Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 I have a sound problem and don't know how to solve it. Only recently I purchased PTE version 9.0.8. I created a wonderful slideshow with it and put music (mp3-files) in it. When I publish it to exe all works fine (till the end of the slideshow). But when I publish it to mp4 (and AVI), the sound works fine in the beginning but after about 10 minutes or so the sound totally stops suddenly but de slideshow goes on (till the end). For your information: I have created a slideshow with 1142 slides and with a duration of about 77 minutes. I publish it with a quality of 1920x1080 pixel and on highest quality and standard quality. I already tried a lot of different ways to publish it but the problem keeps existing. Does anyone at this forum knows a solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithrg Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hi Ellen, you are going to have your slideshow viewers poking their eyes out. 77 min. (IMHO) is waaaay too long for a show you are showing to friends and neighbors. For the music, Project Options > Audio > Add audio file add as many of the file to make 77 min. At the start and end of each file, add fade in/fade out, at the last file lower the duration until the time at the top of audio area shows your 77 min. This is how I do it, and I'm sure someone else has a better way, but maybe this will help until someone shows up. I hope this helps, and is not confusing, smithrg.

Ellen Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hello smithrg. My friends love to see my slideshow even if it lasts 77min. Its a slideshow of one of my travels to China/Tibet. My friends love to watch the slidehows of my travels already for many years despite the long duration. In the past I made the slideshows with Pinnacle and burned them on DVD. This is the first time I use PTE. I find it an easy to use program. The only problem I have is with the sound when I publish it to mp4 (AVI). I add the audio files like you do. And it plays fine when I publish in exe. The problem I have is when I publish in mp4 (AVI). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisb Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hi, The problem could be: -the name of some audio clip ; try to use only ASCII character, -the content of some audio clip ; try to re-encode it. Denis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellen Posted April 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Okay denisb. Thank you. I will look into that. But the strange thing is that it plays well when I publish it to exe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellen Posted April 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 No offence taken smithrg. I just wanted to explain why my slideshow lasts this long and that my friends enjoy seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem happened with projects longer than 30 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
