iPhoto won't allow adjustment to individual slide duration

Hi all,
I'm trying to make a slideshow in iPhoto and adjust the duration for individual slides so I can get them to be more in sync with the music. Problem is, the seconds counter won't change in the "Adjust This Slide" menu. I'm able to click the arrows to increase/decrease seconds, but the value never changes. I've made sure that I don't have the "fit slideshow to music" option selected, tried it with different slides, tried with different slideshows, turned off all the options in the slideshow settings menu, turned off the ken burns effect, added more songs to the iTunes playlist for the slideshow, changed the slideshow format, restarted iphoto, rebooted, and toggled every other setting I could find, but still can't change the slide duration... any ideas? I'm using iPhoto 5.0.4 on a Powerbook G4 running OS 10.4.8.
Thanks in advance for any help!
 
I've considered iMovie but would rather do it in iPhoto if possible, since iMovie would take longer, and the slideshow needs to be done quickly. iPhoto really has all the functionality I need for this purpose, if I can get it to work that is...
 
From what you are saying, iPhoto doesn't really do everything that you need. iMovie will be your best bet, allowing you to adjust timing at each slide individually, if you need that, too.
 
iPhoto has the option to adjust the duration of individual slides, which is all I'm looking for. I've used it before and was happy with the results, just don't know why it isn't working now. I'd rather find a way to get iPhoto to work as it should, but if I can't then yes, I will probably end up using iMovie.
