background music for entire timeline
K
Kenneth G Easlick
I want to use a selected background music clip but cannot change it's length to have it during the entire timeline. i.e. background music is 1.5 minutes long but timeline is over 3 minutes. When I add music video stops playback at end of music clip. Can I have the music clip continue to end of timeline?

I'm confused: You want to extend the length of a 90-second music clip to 180 seconds but without simply looping it so that it plays twice?
Why not simply place the music clip into the timeline twice, i.e., the second clip insertion will begin immediately after the first insertion ends?
Also, I don't understand why your video would stop at the end of the first insertion as long as you have the video track selected during your timeline playback. If you don't put the music track into the timetime twice, the video track should simply continue past the first insertion but without any background music.
At least that's how it works in my PD20 Ultimate (local copy, not web based)
ETA: If your video track is more than 180 secs/3 mins, you could insert the music track a third time and then just trim it down as needed and have it fade out at the endpoint of your video track.
