How to use iTunes music in videos

wevodaur wrote on 3/28/2013, 7:27 PM

I'm preparing a slideshow video for DVD and I want to use an iTunes song.  I go to the Media section and locate my iTunes music folder, but when I double click on the album that contains the song I want nothing shows up.  It's like the album folder is empty.  Am I missing a setting or preference somewhere?  It is possible to use iTunes songs for the videos isn't it?

Thanks,

Robert

wevodaur,

I'm certainly not the best person to answer with neither PhotoStory nor iTunes, but I can suggest:

  • What is the file format of your song? Nothing showing up after opening an iTunes album suggests that it is an unusual format.
  • Check if you can import into any other music playing program -- your problem may be with iTunes not Magix. 
  • Have a look at this about converting files formats to something PhotoStory can use -- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550

Others may have better advice.

Regards,

Carl

Carl,

 

Thank you.  I appreciate the quick answer.  I believe you are correct.  I used iTunes advanced features to create an mp3 version of the song I wanted to use, and then it did show up in the Photostory Media list.

 

Thanks,

Robert

If you want to use itunes music, you should at first check out its formats and if your burning software supports it.
