Need help with a video... please!! Jenna 12/23/2008 11:16:01 PM I'm going to do my best in explaining what my problem is but it might sind confusing .... I'm working on a slideshow with a bunch of pictures of me and my friends. I am using a certain song, and I also have a 30 second video of us singing karaoke to that song (goofy I know). I would like to play the song along with the pictures, then play the video of us singing the song in the middle, and then after the video have the song pick back up at the right point. It kind of sounds like it'd be impossible but I know it can be done because I made a similar slideshow last year and did the same thing, I just can't remember how I did it!! But it played the song and the song simply seemed to be muted during the video and then after the video it was unmuted and picked right back up at the perfect point. I cannot seem to figure out how I made this happen. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and can offer any help, it would be GREATLY appreciated! I'm trying to finish this on a deadline. Thank you so much! PS. Papa John if you read this, I have been using your site to figure out a lot of things (including converting my video file) and it has been extremely helpful, so thank you very much!
