Audio stutter

Stephen-Evans wrote on 6/16/2019, 2:17 PM

Using Photostory Deluxe 2019 -I changed the display duration for all of the slides from 4 seconds to 5 seconds. When I add audio background the audio stutters during the last second of the slide display. How do I clean that up?

We need more information:

Does the audio play OK to the end in Windows Media Player?

Use MediaInfo to analyse the audio clip and copy the results from the Text view in MediaInfo and paste into your reply.

How many images/slides are on the timeline and what format are they?

It plays OK in Windows Media Player. There are 662 photos in 16X9 format on the timeline, most with a title. Here is the result of the MediaInfo:

I closed the project and Photostory, re-opened it, deleted the offending audio track and added another track and it plays fine now. Operator error?

@Stephen-Evans

Thanks for the MediaInfo data - the audio analysis looks fine.

. . . . deleted the offending audio track and added another track and it plays fine now. . . . .

Is this with a different audio file - if does a Mediainfo analysis show that the sampling rate is 48 kHz ?

If so then that could be the issue with the original file - Photostory is supposed to handle 44.1kHz sampling rate.

I did insert a differnet audio file because I was receiving a message that the original audio file was in use? The file was selected, but not playing, in Windows Media Player. I'm sure it was something I did. I'll look for similarities in future projects. Thanks, Steve
