LRC Slideshow Fit to Music not working

[kerkula]

I am trying to make a slide show in LRC.  In fact I am trying to reprodice a show I made a couple months ago with slightly edited images.  But now when I use the "fit to music" button I get the message "Slides will not fit the music. Please use fewer photos. "   That seemed odd,  so I selected only 4 slides with six minutes of music.  I get the same message.  What is the problem?

I also see weird stuff occasionally. I just added 4.35min  music track  to 8 images in a SS and it wanted to automatically time each image to 138 seconds- clearly wrong. I suggest it might be unreasonaable to expect 4 slides in 6 minutes = 90seconds/image. (There may be limits applied that I am unaware of.)

My suggestion is to work 'backwards'- 

1) Note the number of images in the SS,

2) Note the seconds you want each image on screen,

3) then find music to match that length of time.  eg 50 images, 7 seconds/image = 350seconds = 5.8 minutes of music.

If your music track is not of a suitable length- edit your 'music' (Shorten, add exrtra, etc) in a sound editor. (eg. the Audacity App.)

I get that you want me to work backwords.  But this is the same number of images and the same music that worked two months ago.  Why doesn't it work now?

Let me clarify, the original slideshow was 64 images and roughly 6.5 minutes of music.  Worked fine two months ago and now I get this error.  Very frustrating.

What is the problem? Honestly I don't know.

I can only suggest-

Create a new Collection of the 64 images and reset all the SS options- including re-selecting the audio track.

Or- Reset the Lr-Classic Preferences- Often fixes unexplained glitches in the app. PREFERENCES RESET (Lr Queen)

Thank you for the tip.  But sorry to say it did not work.  I'll keep working on it.
