If you don't have suitable audio files on your computer, you can use the cool audio tracks that come with Slideshow Creator. To do that, click 'Select one of our tracks' and select music that fits the mood.

Looping Audio
By default, if the background music is shorter than the video, there will be silence until the end of the video. To repeat the audio tracks from the beginning, select the Loop audio option. The audio tracks will then play in succession until the end of the video.
Trimming Audio
If the audio is longer than video, the background music is automatically cut off at the end of the video, but you can also trim each individual track from the beginning or from the end.
1. Click Play for the song you want to trim. The song will start playing from the beginning.

3. When the progress marker is at the moment where you want the song to end, click the right bracket button to trim the song from the end.
Trimmed songs will be marked with a highlighted bracket icon, and the trimmed parts will be skipped when playing back the video. To cancel trimming for a song, click the Play button and click the brackets again to disable them.
