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.

[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?

[John Rofrano] “No, you have to stop when you think it’s long enough. It should snap to the edge of the music to let you know.”

and how do i do that?
or does it think the mp3 is infinite?
hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[James Nigh]

ok, dragged the image.
but it just kept going on for infinity.
in WLMM, there’s an option to “fit to music”.
does this have something similar?

and now how do i add text events to insert the lyrics?

[James Nigh]

bear with me, i’m stupid…

ok, i ddragged the mp3 there. that’s cool.
then i dragged the background image. it’s there for about 5 seconds. i can’t find anything to drag to extend it for the duration.
there’s nothing in the timeline that’s draggable. you mean to the left of it. is that box the events? that i can see, they’re only resizeable…

thanks for the help, btw.
