simple tutorial?

[John Rofrano] “No but you can make the background as long or short as you want. If the background is a still image, then it’s length is infinite. 😉

When you drop the MP3 onto the timeline it has a definite length with a definite end. Just drag the background until it’s length reaches the end of the MP3.

ok, the image is just a .jpg and the mp3 is 4:14.
but i swear to god, if i drag the image, it’ll go to 8 minutes…9 minutes… and on and on…

or maybe i ran into another problem entirely(?)

or if i just drag the image to 4:14… then what?

That’s correct. An image can be any length you want.

Let go of the mouse. 😉 It will then be the same length as the audio.

did what you said.
still goes on infinitely.
screw it. i give up. i’ll just stick with WLMM (as much as it frustrates me).
no offense. thanks for trying to help.

Gee, I’m not sure why my explanation isn’t helping you. Let me try with some pictures:

Here is the timeline with just the music:

Here is the timeline with an image dropped into it (default length):

Here is the timeline after the drag is complete:

Does that help?
