Shortening songs for iPhoto slideshow help please

Hi I created a slideshow in iPhoto that I need to use in a few days. I added two songs but I need to shorten both songs bc they are too long and one has a part I need out. I have gone into the song on the right 3 dots right clicked and went to Get Info and Options and changed the start time of the song. It shows it is there but when I play the song it still starts at the beginning I cant figure out what I am doing wrong?

iMac, OS X 10.11

Hello wpappy,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! We understand you are looking for some information on how to edit some audio files that you want to use in a slide show. We are happy to help provide some guidance.


Changing the start time within the Get Info pane might not work properly. If you want to edit or crop an audio file that you have saved to your computer, you might need to use an audio editing program. You can use the app Garage Band to edit audio files so you can crop and edit the audio files you want to use. Take a look at how to use Garage Band and more specifically the audio editor within Garage Band in these helpful articles:
