How to add a sound on some slides?

How to add a sound on some slides? Not only one slide and not all the slideshow?
Is it possible? It must be!

Keynote is not Powerpoint and vice versa. The way music is currently handled in Keynote has been explained. If you wish music to play across only a few contiguous slides, you make them a seperate file and hyperlink to them using an object for the hyperlink.
Once built, and properly used, the transition from one set of slides to the next set is smooth and the audience will not know (or care) if there is one, two or fifty hyperlinked files behind the curtain. What they see is the content, the message and the effective use of a visuals to backup your actual live presentation. The files you create are not the presentation, you and all you bring to the audience are the presentation.  You are simply using a tool to assist youself to help your audience better understand your message.
Using Keynote is found by many presenters to be an easier application to use. If you find Powerpoint easier, by all means use it. Your message will be basically the same to your audience, if done properly.
Feedback is a good way to ask for changes but given the rate of change, learning those few simple workarounds and using them effectively will help you use Keynote (or Powerpoint - yes there are limitations there too) to easily put your point across. Your audience will sense your frustrations as a distraction so it is better to accept the few limitations and make your presentation shine in spite of them.
Good luck.

  • How to add PDF files into a slides? (Flash 8)

    I am new to flash and I am using Macromedia Flash 8. My task is simple enough: I need create a Presentation with Screens from PDF files: I have 10-12 PDF files which I want convert into flash presentation.
    I have read this tutorial:
    http://w3.id.tue.nl/fileadmin/id/objects/E-Atelier/Phidgets/Software/Flash/fl8_tutorials.p df
    Chapter 11: Basic Tasks: Create a Presentation with Screens.
    I'm having trouble how to add PDF files into a slides: I want insert a whole pdf file as separate slide, without splitting pdf file into separate elements: pictures, text, etc. I tried import pdf file into Flash, wheen import there is shown prompt how program should process this pdf file(add in stage, library, as keyframes, etc) , not clear which option is correct for my task. What I got is pdf file splitted into multiple images, text, - which is not what I want. I want keep PDF files without changes, preserve original design and formatting, just convert this pdf into flash, so presentation will consist of PDFs organized in correct order, then add navigation buttons and some effects. How to solve this task?

    Just to avoid potential confusion... PDF is an Adobe format, but Flash 8 is/was not.  Flash 8 came out before Adobe bought Macromedia.  Even today, I don't believe anything has been done to accomodate direct integration of PDF content in Flash.

  • How to add midi sound?

    Hi, I'm currently working on an RPG in Java. I heard of java.sound.midi.*; but not exactly here how to utilize this effectively. Some code example would be great. Thanks.

    Thanks for the helpful link. I'm particuarly interested in this page...
    http://jsresources.org/examples/LoopingMidiPlayer15.java.html
    Since I'm using a japplet instead of an application, this would cause a security exception:
    String strFilename = args[0];
    File midiFile = new File(strFilename);
    How can I use getCodeBase() to obtain my midi file from the server?

  • I would like to know how to add images and create a slide show

    The image I try to add to my web page show up as grayed out boxes and never show up.
    I would also love to learn how to make a slide show to enhance my home page.
    Thank you!

    The easiest way is to go to:
    Insert >> Image
    This method will allow you to browse the image you want to insert.  I am, of course, assuming you have defined your site and that you have created a folder for images in line with "best practice" of good web designing.  If not, it doesn't matter because you will get a prompt to move the image to your site if it is not already there.
    Good luck anyway and post back.
    For slide show, your best option is to google for it because there are some really good scripts out there that can do a fantastic job for you.

    Well, normally the code would be:
    panel.add( someComponent );
    panel.revalidate();But since you are using the IDE to generate your code you need to learn and understand how to use the GroupLayout and all its constraints to add the component.
    My advice is to get rid of the IDE generate code and create the GUI yourself.

  • How to add text to photos[non slides]

    I can't find any way to add text to a slide except with slideshow or book page. Surely Aperture couldn't forget this. Anybody??

    Aperture didn't forget that -- it's outside its remit.
    Aperture provides powerful tools for two tasks:
    Digital photograph conversion and development (esp. RAW), and
    Digital asset management (a/k/a DAM).
    You might be able to do what you want with the free but full-featured Aperture plug-in Border FX.
    For true compositing (combining graphics elements, text, and geometric primatives), you need a graphics program.

  • How to add Context Menu to Some frames and not others..

    Hi
    I am trying to add a context menu to my InDesign plug-in based on the link http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup.nsf/docs/50383.htm
    I am using the context key "RtMouseLayout" to specify the context for my menuitem. However, I notice that this adds my menu item to all frames (graphic frames as well as text frames).
    Is there a way for me to specify that my menu item can show only when I right click on graphic frame contexts and not on text frames.
    Also I am wondering if you could point me to which file these context keys are defined.. I found AdobeMenuPositions.h file, but I could not find the file where the "RtMouseLayout" key is defined..
    Thanks a lot for your help!
    - Sameer

    Hmm. It also possible but IMO more complex. Take a look on BPISuiteASB.cpp and BPISuiteCSB.cpp in basicpersistinterface sample. I mean just take a look on Selection Suites. From BPISuiteLayoutCSB.cpp you can get UIDList of currently selected objects on page. So ...
    If you call IBPISuite (also in BPI sample it's showed) from ActionComponent then you can kEnabledAction or kDisabled_Unselected your menu item in UpdateActionStates.
    Maybe that will help you

  • Why is it so difficult to find how to add audio file to a slide

  • How to add new sound effects?

    Hi Guys,
    I am fairly new to GarageBand and I wanted to had new sound effects. So I came here, read a few posts, an gave it a try. I got a couple of files(2 .aiff and 1 .aif) I went to the library / . . /iLifesoundeffect, created a folder called, Nature, and put to of files in that one. I put the other in the existing Animal folder. Yet, when I open the loops in garageband, I cannot see any of these files. What can I do to make them availble.
    Question 2. Is there a way to use mp3 or wav files as well?
    Thanks

    I cannot see any of these files. What can I do to make them availble.
    First they have to be made into "Apple Loops"
    http://www.thehangtime.com/gb/gbfaq2.html#soundtracklooputility
    Second, you have to drop the files (or the folder of files) onto GB's Loop Browser so that GB knows they exist.
    Is there a way to use mp3 or wav files as well?
    Drop them into the timeline.

    How do I add a sound effect to a slide in Keynote on a IPAD1?

    I'm looking at GB 11 right now, so I don't know if this translate exactly to '09, but I think it's similar if it doesn't:
    Looking at the shown Master Track, on the automation menu of options on the track (that lists volume, pitch tempo - whatever you want to send a curve through) there's another choice on the bottom: "add automation." You select this which gives you a dialog box and the option to add an automation curve for any of the Master Effects you've added in that Edit box on the right hand side.
    Clicking a parameter in that dialog box will add the category to that menu, and then you can create a curve for it (using a two-dot quick ramp up from 0 to whatever value you want, then a two-dot ramp down at the end) for just the measures you want.
    Ive done Add Automation, and Automatic Filter is now available on the "Add Automation". (Although Frequency, Resonance, Mode, Intensity & Speed are down as 5 seperate tick boxes under Automatic Filter and I'd like to just be able to select Automatic filter and not have to change each of these 5 independently and it just work from what I have set it to manually on left hand side).
    I've added points/dots to the curve during the section I need it, but this moves the filter up and down over that point AND from the very start of the song to the very end of the song.
    Where does the point/dot need to be/set to at the Start of the song upto the point I want the filter to kick?
    So there would be NO filter on the track from Bar 1 to end of Bar 9
    Then, where does the point need to be/set to at the end of song from the end of the filtered section?
    So there would be NO filter on the track from Bar 13 to end of the song?
    So just to confirm I want
    Bar 1 to end of Bar 9 - NO FILTER
    Bar 10 to end of Bar 12 - Filter
    Bar 13 to end of song - NO FILTER
    Thanking you in advance for a speedy response.

    Hi Pradeep,
    I would like to confirm that how exactly you want PowerPoint 2013 to play a sound. For example, add sound to your PowerPoint slide transitions, add background music, or play a sound during an Animation.
    To play a sound during a transition, go to the Transitions tab on the ribbon, apply a transition, then click the drop-down for
    Sound, and choose one from the list.
    To add audio in the background, you can go to the Insert tab on the ribbon and click the
    Audio button, choosing Online Audio... to search a clip media on Office.com or select a sound from your computer by selecting
    Audio on My PC...
    To add sound effects to an animation, you can refer to this article:https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Add-sound-effects-to-an-animation-7d0e2d70-caca-495e-a738-a8257474605e
