Problem Fitting Music to iPhoto Slideshow

[MrBeale]

So, I've created a slideshow, and want to fit music to it. However, whenever I try to do so, the program insists on lingering on the first slide for a full thirty seconds before going on to the next slide. This shouldn't be necessary to make the music fit - all subsequent slides are at just over 5 seconds, and if all slides were just slightly longer than that, it would easily fit. Even if I delete the last slide, it simply makes the subsequent slide lasts 30 seconds.

This is really annoying. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

Do you have iMovie? Try exporting the iPhoto slideshow as a quicktime movie and dragging it into IMovie, then add music.

If not, just make the slideshow in iMovie all together.
If you don't have imovie...then try changing the file extension of the mp3 or etc and see if that helps.
