Audio Tip: Do not edit audio in Presenter

After much wasted time trying to figure out why is was not playing back properly with missing audio I wanted to pass this tip along...
With Presenter 7.0.6 or 7.0.7 do not edit audio. This includes inserting silence and cutting out audio.
For some reason Presenter created MULTIPLE MP3 files for each slide. I have one slide that has 55 seconds of audio and Presenter has split that into 16 different MP3 files. Some are .5 seconds long. This seems to mess up the play back sometimes freezing up playback.
Record your audio using something else and import one MP3 for each slide and then add the slide timing.

Hey Frank. This is a good tip. Ever since Presenter changed the way they handle audio files, we have stopped recording our audio in Presenter; we all happen to have Captivate licenses on my team so we use it to record and edit all audio before we export to Presenter. If we have to make any changes, we also go back to Captivate and import the changed audio again. We tried working with the Adobe "support" for months on this issue and got nowhere. Each time you alter audio, even if you remove your breathing sounds, if divides the audio into two parts at the place where you changed it. So, yes, for longer pieces of audio, you end up with multiple files. Presenter does "merge" them together when you publish; however, it doesn't do a very good job of it. So every time the playbar reaches one of these split sections of the audio, it has a little glitch.
Now that you can record audio in PowerPoint and since the PowerPoint integration is so much better in Captivate, we will be dropping our Presenter licences. We may keep one or two so we can update existing modules. Unfortunately when the product has too many glitches and the support is not good (we had Gold or Platinum support too), you can't afford to stay with the product. We've used it for about 6 years.

  • Edit Audio Timing Menu - Not Playing audio

    Hi -
    I have recorded my Audio in Audacity and am trying to IMPORT audio into Captivate 4. When I import this .wav file (that becomes a MP3 automatically from CP4) - and try to Edit Audio Timing to set my slides with the audio - I cannot get it to play any sound.
    Mute is not on
    There are wave form across the slides
    The audio will play when I publish it (however, it plays across the wrong slides because I haven't been able to set them yet)
    I have tried to import multiple different .wav files in different CP4 projects
    I am using Windows 7/Office 10 - 32 bit
    I have downloaded the fix for audio for Vista included in a blog post, still cannot play the sound
    If you can help - please let me know!!! I am struggling as this is the last few steps before I give this project to my customer.

  • I want to use Panopto  software on my iMac. It works on the PCs at the office, but when I try to open it on my iMac it only opens the video and audio, it will not open the powerpoint presentations.  Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

    Why won't the PPt show when I am trying to record and video tape a PPt presentation on Panopto?

    Don't rely on 'Preview'.
    Share/Export as .ibooks file and then drag that to iTunes and sync to your iPad.
    Still no joy, find a pre-processing recipe ( that includes export for iPad) that doesn't spoil the quality in the process.
    Just keep in mind that low quality in means low or lower quality out, in this example.

  • MSI GT60 - 2OD - Audio problems, Laptop not recognizing audio jacks and speakers

    I tried to redirect the sound from my TV to the laptop in order to use my bluetooth headset.
    It worked, but after turning my tv off, I continued using the headset normally.
    But when I turned off my headset, the speakers stopped working and the laptop doesnt recognize any áudio inputs.
    I already unninstalled the drivers, even installed my Win 8 from scratch, but nothing seems to work.
    Does anybody have an idea of what is going on, or how i can fix it?

    Latest driver version, I downloaded through the MSI website.
    This is the first time that something like this has happened, the line is isn't set as default.
    And also, when I open the Realtek HD Audio Manager, all the jacks are grayed,
    At least my bluetooh headset still works.

  • Presenter 7 - how to insert marker type "Click" in Edit Audio dialog

    http://www.adobe.com/education/resources/hed/instructional/connect/collaborative_teaching/ pdfs/edit_audio_adobe_pres.pdf
    The above document includes information that you can add four types of markers by using the Audio Editor in Presenter and one of the marker types is mouse-click animation. I can't find a way to do it in reality. The only way to insert this type of market is in Edit Sync dialog, not in Edit Audio. This requires resynchronisation of the whole audio instead of just adding one marker. In Edit Audio dialog I only have markers of type "Wait for user" and "Go to slide".

    Hi,
    This problem Could happen when you referesh quality or test system.
    Your delta setup for the related master and transaction data needs to be reinit.
    What happens is when you init. the delta and subsequent delta is all maintained in your source system
    please check Notes 852443,424848,834229
    Hope this helps

    Hi,

    Why?

    correction needs to be made to step #14, I typed:
    14) Point to the start or end one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, right click and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection start and endpoints.
    Here is the correction, THE CORRECTED PARTS ARE CAPITALIZED:

    Another Correction:
    Originally read:
    Addendum: IF you have 2 files selected and click "Edit" to go to Edit view, it will give you the file of the clip you selected first, not 2nd. You must then go back to MT view, de-select the clip you selected first, then de-select the clip you want to edit, then RE-select the clip you want to edit.

  • Premiere Pro to Adobe Audition Dynamic link does not work. Cannot edit audio in Audition.

    Trying to edit Audio from Premiere Pro within Audition thru the Dynamic link but it does not fire up Audition to edit. Seems like a common problem/bug. But no one has posted a solution. Please Help
    -Windows 7
    -Premiere Pro CC 2014
    -Adobe Audition CC 2014

    You dont understand it was all working fine in the previous Adobe versions. matter of fact you can go on youtube and see a couple of videos that shows the work flow between Premiere Pro and audition by way of Dynamic link. If you edit a video clip in Premier Pro and want to add some music or simply edit the audio that is contained in the video there was a time within Premiere Pro you can just right click "Edit in Adobe Audition" and Audition would open with the audio clip in place. Much in the same way Premiere Pro works with After Effects thru the Dynamic Link. The Dynamic Link is the bridge between applications to work with each other. For some reason Premiere Pro and Audition Dynamic Link is not working properly.

  • Adobe Presenter/ Edit Audio Feature

    I am struggling with Adobe Presenter and the edit audio feature.
    First, I am in a Win 7 environment with Administrator rights. Second, I am using MS Office 2010 (PowerPoint 2010) and Adobe Presenter 7.0 (as a part of Adobe E-Learning Suite CS4).  
    I recently imported into my Powerpoint presentation  a large MP3 audio file (137 MB) using Presenter's audio import function.  Presenter imported this audio file with no issues.  But since the import, I experience some odd behaviors with Presenter.  The first issue is that the Move To Next Markeroption (Ctrl M) is grayed out so I am unable to mark where next slide goes.  The next oddity is sometimes when the play feature in engage, the position indicator moves, but no sound is played.   My speakers are on and it just played a few moments ago.
    I have reconverted the mp3 and re-imported it multiple times.  I have tried importing a WAV file in lieu of the mp3 and still experience these issues.  The only thing that I can find that clears it is to close out PowerPoint/Presenter.  Then, I have to relaunch the file.  At first it will work, but then it will return to this odd behavior.
    Any suggestions for a remedy would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks very much.

    Hi Vikram
    Thank you for the suggestions.
    I have completed the tests and updates mentioned below but am still waiting for the client to test the recording again.
      Are your video card driver is up to date? Please check whether you have the latest driver from the manufacturer’s site. Point 2 below will help you in finding the manufacturer’s identity.   – Yes driver has now been updated
      Are all unnecessary applications closed? – have advised client to close all unnecessary apps at next recording
      Do you have sufficient free space on your hard disk? At least 5 GB is needed, but around 15 GB is recommended. Yes – more than 100GB free
      Are your webcam drivers up to date? It is recommended to install the webcam driver from the webcam cd or the webcam company’s site. Using the inbuilt webcam only – the test with external webcam was on a loaned device
      Are you capturing your video in a well-lit environment? Most webcams perform poorly in bad lighting. Yes the area is well lit
    After the next recording I will let you know result and include screen shots if it is an unsuccessful test.
    Thanks

    I bought an iTunes Royalty free song to play behind a presentation. What I have seem to have is video file not an audio file. Am I missing a step?I want to download iTunes purchases as a .wav file or other audio file.  Any help would be appreciated

    I understand the confusion. Those tracks are royalty free to the owner of the tracks, yes. The terms of use of the iTunes Store still state, though, that all purchases are for your own personal use and cannot be used commercially:
    USAGE RULES
    1. You shall be authorized to use iTunes Products only for personal, noncommercial use.
    They're probably fine for presentations in a class or to a group at your company, but you probably could not post the presentation or a video using these tracks on a public site. I'm no lawyer, though, to legally define what would and would not constitute "noncommercial". It's probably best to just buy your tracks directly from one of these sites of royalty-free music. Then the use license should be completely clear.
    Regards.

  • Edit audio window not visible in Captivate 5 for Mac

    After putting closed captions into a project I went back to edit them and now the Edit Audio window doesn't appear at all. The captions and audio playback fine on preview. When I go to the Edit Audio window the rest of the application is disabled as if the window was open, but it doesn't appear anywhere. I've reset the workspace, rebooted, uninstalled and reinstaled, and created a new project, imported audio to a slide and still see no Edit window.

    Also, I've downloaded a trial version of Captivate on a different computer and the same project file plays fine and I get the Edit Audio window and Closed Captions. But even with an uninstall and new download of Captivate on the old computer these are invisible in *all* projects on that computer. All settings at default. What local settings could be doing this on that computer? Other Captivate pop-up windows work fine.

  • Two issues getting a headless error form windows & my clips audio plays in the preview but not once placed in th timeline. I taped with a panasonic HC 750 V. i believe it is with clips filmed using directed not surround audio.

    The title more or less says it all. I have Elements 13 & am Using the Panasonic HC 750V. I shot in AVCHD 1080/60p & instead of surround sound choose the directed feature to focus on the voices in front of me. The audio works in preview but not on the timeline. I am also getting Headless errors when working with premiere that pop up in windows but it does not shut down the system.
    Any help apprecaited.

    pc
    Have you updated your Premiere Elements 13 to 13.1 using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. If not, please do so.
    Just some points of clarification on the AVCHD 1080/60p with which you are having audio problem in Premiere Elements 13.
    a. I see no option to record to tape with your Panasonic model. Is there one? if not, what was recorded to, a memory card?
    b. When you talk about directed not surround audio, are you saying that your video uses Dolby Digital 2 channel stereo instead of 5.1 channel?
    c. Is your AVCHD footage presented to you as AVCHD.mts rather than AVCHD.mp4. I think that is the case if you are referring to Dolby Digital
    rather than AAC audio.
    Are you saying that you get play back video and audio if you double click the video's thumbnail in Project Assets, but you get video but no audio after you drag the file to the Timeline and play back its contents in the Edit area monitor?
    a. Have you checked the Volume control under the Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Volume Panel expanded to make sure the Volume has been taken all the way down? Under that condition, you will get play back in the Preview Window, but no audio from the Timeline level play back in the Edit area monitor.
    b. In that same regard, if you look at the Timeline audio clip, note a yellow orange line that runs horizontally across the duration of the audio clip. Is that at the bottom of the frame or is it in the middle or at the top?
    Do you work with the Elements Organizer at all? That Headess issue sounds like an Elements Organizer issue. More on that later. That issue should not prevent you from continuing your work. But we will explore that next.
    Thanks.

  • Importing .mov or .mpg and not getting audio in FCP

    I have both an Mpeg (as well as an .mov ) file that play in QuickTime Player beautifully with audio. When I import it into FCP I only get the video. This has been happening with many files that clients are bringing in and have not figured out a way to get the audio track into Final Cut. Any suggestions? Why will it accept the video, but not the audio? Thank you for your assistance in advance!!
    BR

    Hi,
    Mpeg is not an editing format.
    You need to demux video and audio and convert the original Mpeg in a FCP friendly format like DV or QT.
    Your solution is likely MPEGstreamclip. Here it is:

  • Windows 7 x64 USB AUDIO DEVICE - Device Not Working - Mac Pro

    I have a mac pro early 2009. I had vista x64 installed, everything was great. I had 2 audio devices under device manager, one was listed as HD (digital) and one device was listed as analog audio.
    When I played games and wanted the external speakers (using the digital out connection) I had the HD (digital) audio device enabled.
    When I played games and wanted to use a headphone/microphone combo, I had the analog audio device enabled.
    Switching between the two was as easy as clicking the audio device icon and clicking on whichever device I wanted.
    Now that I installed windows 7 x64, I have a HD (optical out) device in device manager and it works perfectly. Unfortunately, I also have another device listed called "USB Audio Device" and it shows a yellow exclamation mark next to it and it is NOT working properly.
    I tried many suggestions on here, which included downloading the cirrus logic audio driver and picking different models, as well as trying the snow leopard install disk driver for cirrus logic, and even tried installing the realtek analog driver. The closest I got to getting anything to work was installing the realtek analog driver. It installed fine up to the point when windows said "this driver is not tested, do you wish to install it anyway?" and I click yes, but then it pauses for a few seconds and the same message comes up again and repeats in a endless loop until you say "no, do not install driver" and then it does a uninstall of the driver.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so were you able to fix it?
    Thanks

    You can ignore USB audio, you want RealTek HD Audio. There are or can be some of those yellow alerts that are safe to ignore. Buried somewhere in Apple Support BootCamp technotes.
    You can use installer from Realtek or zip file in which case just uncompress and update the driver from inside Device Manager. Nice thing, you can rollback a driver if you want to, or totally uninstall and then reinstall.

  • How to send FCP edited audio clips for processing in Soundtrack?

    Hello
    How do I send just the edited audio clips from hour long files to be processed in Soundtrack from Final Cut?
    I need help as I'm trying to adjust some edited audio clips in Soundtrack Pro but when I send them from FCP to Soundtrack - it opens the whole original audio file and then any adjustments I apply in Soundtrack are being processed over the whole audio file not just the short edited audio clip that I want to adjust.
    Normally I don't mind as my scenes are usually short and Soundtrack analysis over the whole scenes audio is usually desirable, but this projects files have been transfered from tapes as hour long AVI files (all the tapes clips transfered into one hour long files) and every FCP edited audio clip I send is being treated as an hour long audio file in Soundtrack.
    I'm sure there's a simple answer for settings but I haven't been able to find it.  Any advice appreciated.
    Barra

    Thanks Javi, my sequence is an hour and half duration so what I'm trying to do is save processing time in Soundtrack by just processing adjustments on the few audio clips that need processing.
    I have set Soundtrack to open referenced audio only and with 5 sec in and out handles, but it still imports the whole original audio file into Soundtrack timeline upto the selected clip, I then double click in Soundtrack on the clip in brackets, and it then selects just the audio clip I want to adjust, then Soundtrack will just process on the edited clip but when I 'render to action' it seems to apply changes to whole original audio file - taking longer than I want.... frustrating
    Also the sound always sounds very different in FCP than Soundtrack even after 'rendering to action' and rendering in FCP... this is not the easy workflow I expect from such expensive software programs, I understood that they work together in a fully integrated way, what's the problem! This is wasting my precious time and preventing me from editing not helping me, this is a common problem and yet I can find no help in the user manual - I'm not impressed!
