In the burn function there is an option to change the slide show to match the length of music. Does this option work if more than one MP3 files are included or will it only work using 1 MP3 file.

First under View>Options>Othe Options (in ver 3.34):
- Turn ON the accurate slideshow previewing timing option
- Turn OFF the high quality slideshow preview

Also, if your computer is not very fast and your have set very quick display times (a few seconds per image) then it is unlikely that your computer will process the images fast enough to display the preview accurately. The issue will be particularly noticeable if you have enabled motion and transition effects.

Two things that may help:
1. While previewing disable the motion effects. This will put less load on your computer (and the timing will still be accurate once you reenable the motion effects)

2. If you simply want to make all your frames match the background music enable the "stretch slideshow to music option" when burning. You should make the slideshow length as close as possible to the music file time and you may use more than one MP3 file to do this.

Hi Geoff

It works no matter how many music files you have in your slideshow.

For example:

Music File 1: 1 min
Music File 2: 1 min
Music File 3: 1 min
Music File 4: 1 min
Music File 5: 1 min

Length of visual part of slideshow:

14 Frames each of 15 seconds: 3 min 30 sec

It will drop the last music file (#5) and stretch the slideshow to 4 minutes (i.e. the length of each frame will be increased to approx. 17 seconds).
