Adding a voice over on a stand alone presentation

I have used Keynote quite a bit for presentations with a lot of success. I would like to record a voice over for a new presentation and place it in the file. Has anyone had any experience with this?
The presentation should run about 15 minutes max.

Be aware that straight recordings will make your presentation huge.
You can make recordings with *QuickTime Pro* (the registered version) and then convert those to 32kbs AAC or MP3 files (perfect for voice recordings) which bring the file size down dramatically.
If you record those in snippets for each slide, or cut them up using Fission or *MP3 Trimmer* you just drag them into each slide and set them to play on opening or cue.

In Finder you will find the voiceover in the project's package contents folder. If on your internal drive, the project will be in your User (Home) folder Movies/iMovie projects. If on an external drive it will be in the iMovie Projects folder at the top (root) level of the drive.
Right-click (or Control-click) on the project name and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. There should be a file named something like Voiceover Recording.caf in the package contents folder. Copy and paste this .caf file to the Desktop. See if it will open in QuickTime, GarageBand or another program capable of editing audio, such as MPEG Streamclip or Audacity (both free). If it will open, save (export) it in a different format, such as AIFF, preferably to a location where it will not be moved, such as iTunes.
Now drag that file into iMovie to the desired position (if in iTunes drag from iMovie's music browser panel). Hopefully it will now play correctly.

Problem in adding voice over presentation

Ok so I want to do a voice over narration on my keynote presentation
I go through the steps of adding audio to my presentation, on the recording screen
the red button is not blinking and my voice is not recording onto the presentation can anyone help pls
Ogay

This is my recommendation.
Step 1) Create your Keynote presentation.
Step 2) Record your speaking part (separately) with an audio recording program.
I recommend Audacity. It's a great free application. You can download Audacity from www.sorceforge.com among other places. You'll also want to get the Audacity LIB file that is needed to export your audio recording to .mp3.
3) From the Keynote Inspector, under the Document tab, go to the audio section and add your new voice recording file to the Soundtrack.
4) From Keynote, go to File, Record Slideshow.
While the audio plays, click through your slides. This is getting the slide change time down.
5) From Keynote, go to File, Export. Make sure to have the following settings:
Playback Uses: Recorded Timing
Include audio (sound files, movie audio): NOT SELECTED
Include the slideshow soundtrack: NOT SELECTED
Include the slideshow recording: SELECTED!!!
Click next and your Keynote presentation should export to a .mov file (keep in mind, this .mov file has no audio. we'll take care of that in the last steps).
6)Open the new .mov Keynote presentation in Quicktime Pro.
7) Open the original .mp3 sound file in Quicktime Pro.
8) Select All of the .mp3 file and then click CTRL + C to copy it.
9) Go back to the .mov Keynote file and Select All. Then go up to Edit > Add to Movie.
This adds your sound and movie file together.
10) Finally click on File > Save As. Select, Save As A Self-Contained Movie and you're done.
I Hope This Helps!

MAC Voice Over: Why does the screen view lag behind the voice over audio?

MAC Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
When using voice over on a MAC with DE 1.8 - most times when paging thru a pdf file/book the voice and the view are inconsistent. When using VO - moving to the next page with the right arrow key - the audio starts to read the next page (correct), but the display is one page behind (not correct). For readers - especially those that have significant visual impairment - this will not work for them. Is this a defect - and if so - I would be very happy to re-test this feature if a new revision of DE 1.8 is provided.
I am unsure this is the correct forum to raise issues such as this one. I am in the process of evaluating Adobe DE 1.8 - my sister is blind and I am trying to move her to a MAC with VO. I really appreciate Adobe's effort in supporting JAWS and MAC VO - thank you on behalf of all disabled folks out there.
Below is a detailed list of steps to re-produce this audio/screen inconsistency issue.
- Install DE 1.8 and add to the dock
- Add a pdf file/book to DE 1.8. For my issue, I am adding the "Voice Over Getting Started" guide.
- Turn on Voice Over - Cmd+F5
- Using VO - Go to the dock and select DE and start it. The "Last Read Book" typically is the focus for the VO cursor. Then using VO next item (VO+right arrow) - move the VO cursor to "Library Content Table". This is the list of books that are displayed in DE.
- Using the up/down keyboard arrows - move up and down thru the books in the content list. At this point - you should already see that the VO audio announcing the title of a book is not synchronized with the row in the table that is displayed. The voice is announcing a book that you selected, but the display is showing the previous book.
- Once you hear (not see) the book you want to test with, hit <enter>. DE will open the book and start to read using VO. At this point the screen and audio for the first page in the book are the same.
- Once the book has been opened by DE - Using the right arrow key navigate to the next page in the pdf/book. Normally the right arrow key is the short cut to allow a user to move forward or backwards thru a book, one page at a time.
- With DE and VO - what happens is that VO responds to the right arrow key and starts to read the next page. But the screen is still showing the previous page. Hence the screen and the VO audio are out of sync.
- For anyone that uses MAC VO - this will prevent them from using Adobe DE 1.8.
If I am doing something incorrect - please let me know. If you need any assistance or further information regarding this issue - please email me.
Best Regards

hi, Mike R:
Thanks for your information. We have tested several Mac machines, iMac and MBP (use the same version as yours). But we can't reproduce the issue. Actually working with VoiceOver is a fundamental request for our application, we did test them before releasing the build.
We suggest you test other applications, e.g. Finder, Preview and iTunes, to make sure if VoiceOver works fine with them. Or can you please check if your VoiceOver settings are correct?

Voice over suddenly doesn't play audio

I have been adding several voice over clips to my movie. Now on the most recent one, I record it, the audio levels show up, but when I play it back...nothing.
Mic is working, it shows that it's recorded, but can't get any sound to play.

Similar issue here.
Every CD I put into my MacBook Pro mounts as a Blank CD. I get this:
"You've inserted a Blank CD"
Therefore I can no longer import CD's to itunes.
DVDS are fine but Audio CD's not working.

Voice over track gone silent

Hello,
I have a video on top of which I have added a voice over (my mom commenting on some 40 year old captured 8mm movies) in the audio track underneath the video track. Worked just great, but last time I opened the file, my voice over audio has gone silent. Each voice segment still shows, but I do not see the audio waveform anymore. When I take a voice segment and drag it on my hard disk, it produce a voice xx.mov file, which Quicktime would not open (I get a message like: "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie").
I have, of course ensured that all volume settings on the mac and in iMovie are set properly (check boxes at the right f the tracks, volume slider below the video preview, etc.) I have also tried to view package by control-clicking on my iMovie file and clicking on "show package": I checked the content of the Media folder: all my voice file appear, but when I rty and open any of them, quicktime would not open them.
Has anybody had the same issue? Any way I could resolve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated as it took forever to record these voice-overs.
Thank you in advance, Regis

FCE Voice Over

I have successfully added several voice-over clips to their respective video clips in the FCE HD (v 3.5.1) time line. Now when I try to record the next voice-over clip, I get the message "The specified capture destination file already exists". How do I get beyond this message so I can continue recording voice-over clips? Thanks, Jack Akerboom

Change the name in the voice over window before you start recording.

In iOS iMovie, can I create a new voice over track while listening to the video clip's audio?

Can I hear the original track of a video clip while adding a voice over using iOS iMovie? When I try to record a voice over for a clip that already has video, the video's audio is muted.

Forget it-- I figured it out.

Could someone please tell me how to convert a powerpoint to a movie, with a voice over? thankyou :)

Open the powerpoint presentation, on the click on the 'file' button located at the top left of the menu bar, click on 'save as' at the bottom of the window that opens you should see a dropdown format gliff that says powerpoin presentation .pptx; click on the gliff and choose 'movie.mov'

Video jerky after adding voice-over

The video imports nicely, but when I do voice-over using a Logitech headphone, the video portion becomes jerky. Something similar was discussed in the forum about a year ago, but it appears that nothing was resolved? Would appreciate help on this. Thanks

always convert and AIFF files to MP3 first..... only have about 20 audio clips, but they're mostly voice over and AIFF files.
No. iMovie converts MP3 format to AIFF anyway. Some have found more stuttering problems with voice-overs.
I'm stuck right now with a half hour video that i managed to finishe editing but can't play or export to tape without terrible stuttering
If you have enough space on your hard drive, you can 'share' your finished movie as QuickTime Full Quality. Import this QT movie into a new iMovie project. It should now play without stuttering, allowing you to export it back to DV tape. If the QT movie plays fine, you can delete the original iMovie.
You can add chapter markers and use this version for iDVD.
I use this method all the time. Sometimes I have had to create QT movie version three times when editing a long or complex iMovie. Even before adding audio, my movies will skip/stutter on playback if I have lots of transitions/effects/total clips. I have learned to edit the movie by cropping the video clips first, adding stills, doing transitions and titles/effects, and adding the audio last. If it starts to skip with the addition of the first audio clip, I delete that clip, share as quicktime, and then work on the quicktime version in a new iMovie and go ahead with adding the audio to that.

Stand alone region not seeing AM definition when added to seeded page...

I have created a stand alone region of type stackLayout that contains a messageLOVInput and a table for employee selection and forwarding to predefined pages. I then created a test page in JDeveloper where I added a FlexLayout region and extended my stackLayout region. This works as desired.
I then wished to test my stand alone region by adding it via personalization to a seeded page. I first copied the files to the appropriate directory in $JAVA_TOP into my custom directory. Then I loadd into the MDS, then bounced apache and OC4J. The controls renders as desired. However clicking upon the messageLOVInput in my stand alone region it opens a window and I get "Cannot find LOV in ... AM". Looking at the About this page link, I see that it is not recognizing my AM even though when I added the item via personalization (SITE LEVEL) I specified it. What am I missing here? This should be reusable functionality that can be added to any page, seeded or custom. But for whatever reason it fails to see my AM and thus cannot find the LOV. I know I didn't get the AM reference wrong during the personalization because it would throw an error if I had (ask me how I know this).
Has anyone ever done this before?

Ipad air - starts only "Voice over" after resume from stand by

Hi
today, in the morning, i used as always my ipad air (ios 7.01) for about 2 hours (i have it from about 1 month).
I saw only some email (no app installation, no IOS upgrade, nothing else)
Then i put it in stand by mode (by pushing on/off button).
When, in the afternoon, i resume it from stand by (pushing home button) , appears only the white page of "Voice over" and No other thing is possible to do.
I restarted it many times (on/off button + home button pressed for 10-15 seconds until apple icon appears) but after the startup only "Voice over" appears.
Only "Voice Over" is possible to use.................like the first time 1 month ago, when i started up it ad i have configured it for the first time.
It seems that the ipad was reset.
How is possible ?
It could be a IOS failure problem ?
or It's possible that someone has tried to unlock the ipad by pressing the wrong pin code and the ipad now is blocked (No one message that says "ipad blocked" or similar appears.........only "voice over" starts)????.
Please, someone can help me to understand what happened, in order to know what to do ?
How can i try to recover all the data in the ipad ?
Thanks a lot for all
Mario

I confirm that Only the white "setup" page starts (where is wrote "Hello > slide to set up").
The ipad seems that was resetted.
How is possible ?
It could be a IOS failure problem ?
or It's possible that someone has tried to unlock the ipad by pressing the wrong pin code and the ipad now is blocked (No one message that says "ipad blocked" or similar appears.........only "initial setup" starts)????.
I read in a manual of IOS 7 that is possible that the device is resetted after 10 times with wrong pin but after 5-6 times should appear a message with "ipad blocked for n° minutes" or a similar message.
No message appear....only the white page of the setup appears.
Please, someone can help me to understand what happened, in order to know what to do ?

Adding GIF images to a stand-alone program

To add a GIF image to an applet one can use the "getImage" function defined in the applet class.
How do i add an image to a stand-alone program in java when one doesn't extend the Applet class ( and so one doesn't have access
to the "getImage" procedure)
I have just begun with Java so please reply in simple english and not in some hard-to-understand "Javian" crap!
Thank u

You mean a JFrame?
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class JFrameImage extends JFrame {
public JFrameImage() {
      Container c    = getContentPane();
      JPanel panel = new JPanel(){
             public void paintComponent(Graphics g)     {
// puts an image on the whole program as background
                  ImageIcon img = new ImageIcon("myBackground.jpg");
                  g.drawImage(img.getImage(), 0, 0, null);
                  super.paintComponent(g);
        panel.setOpaque(false);
// puts an image on the button
      ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("myButton.jpg");
      JButton button = new JButton(icon);
      panel.add(button);
      c.add(panel);
public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrameImage frame = new JFrameImage();
// puts your own personal image on the frame itself
      Image onFrame = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("myIcon.gif") ;
    frame.setIconImage(onFrame);
    frame.setSize(200,200);
// stops the thing looking sh*tty and amateurish by putting it nearer the middle
// of the screen, instead of the default top left hand corner
    frame.setLocation(300,200);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
    frame.setVisible(true);
}

Captivate 7 and adding Closed Captioning to my training *No Video just Voice Overs*

Afternoon Adobe Community,
I want to pose a question to all you experts out there on an easy way to display text from the slide notes as a form of closed captioning for my Voice Overs... I am aware that with video it has the functionality to add closed captioning but was hoping for a viable option to do this for pre-recorded audio that I have the transcript in the slide notes.
This may not be possible but figured I would give it a shot.
Thanks!

Hi there,
To convert Slide notes as closed captions, Please check the 'Audio CC' checkbox present in the slide notes panel (Audio should be present in the slide )
This will convert all the marked Slide notes as closed captions automatically. You can synch the converted closed captions with audio from the Edit>Audio>Closed captions dialog.
Thanks,
Nimmy Sukumaran.
