Hi Jaimeharper,


Thanks for posting here in Apple Support Communities. Let's make sure that yo u're following the steps shown in this article as it may help to address the issue you're facing. Check this out: Create slideshows in Photos on Mac - Apple Support


Create a slideshow project
1. In the Photos app  on your Mac, select the photos you want in your slideshow.
2. Choose File > Create > Slideshow > Photos.
3. Click the Slideshow pop-up menu and choose New Slideshow.
4. Type a slideshow name in the Slideshow Name field, then click OK.
5. To reorder photos, drag photos into the order you want them in the bottom of the window.
6. To select a theme, click the Themes button , then click a theme.
You can change the theme at any time. The theme you choose determines text position, fonts, and the transitions that appear between slides.
7. To select music for the slideshow, click the Music button click the down arrow next to Music Library, then select a song or songs.

Choose Theme Songs from the pop-up menu to see music included with Photos, or choose Music to see music from your Music library. Drag the songs you selected to change the order they play in. To delete a song, select it and press Delete.

Note: If you don’t see music from your Music library listed, close Photos, then open Music and sign in if you haven’t already. With Music open, open Photos again, then select your slideshow. Click the Music button and choose Music from the pop-up menu to see your music list appear.

8. To change how long each slide appears, click the Duration button then do any of the following (not all options are available for all themes):
* Set the slideshow to match the length of the selected music: Select Fit to Music.
* Set a specific display time for the slideshow: Select Custom, then drag the slider to specify how long the slideshow should play.
* Set a transition for the entire slideshow: Select the Transition checkbox, then choose a transition type from the pop-up menu.
* Set slides to fit the screen: Select the “Scale photos to fit screen” checkbox.
9. To see a preview of the slideshow, click the Preview button.
Click Preview again to stop the preview. You can also set the slideshow to loop continuously by clicking the Loop button 
10. To play the slideshow, click the Play button 

Cheers.
