I have multiple songs I would like to include in my slideshow. Can I change the rate of presentation for each song? For instance, upbeat song with a 2 secong presenation time and slower song with a 3 second presentation time
No. The only app I'm familiar with that can add multiple audio tracks cropped and placed with specific slideshow is Movie 6 HD part of iLife 06.
if a version of iMovie that many experienced users prefer as it hasn't been dumbed down like later versions
OT
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $99
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.
