Can 2, 3 QT audio clips play sequentially when embedded in a Keynote page?

In Keynote, can I embed 2 or 3 (4?) QuickTime audio clips into one separate Keynote page/slide and have each clip play in its proper sequence?
The background:
I am making (for a friend) a Keynote presentation (on taxes) which will be exported in QuickTime to Youtube. Instead of making ONE audio clip per page/slide, I am making 2 or 3 separate clips in order to cut down the time involved in redoing the whole voice-over when my friend makes a mistake. He is not a professional speaker and gets stuck sometimes. When he has gone a certain length of time and has done well and comes to a logical break in thought, I just stop the recording. That way if he makes a mistake in the next recording, he doesn't have to start from the beginning again.
This morning I woke up thinking about it and realized that if all goes the way it would unless I do something extra, all two or three or four audio clips that I embed on a page will all begin playing at the same time! So I figure to avoid that, I can “program” each clip to start after a certain number of seconds.
Please advise. This tax presentation means a lot to my friend and it is important.
Thank you,

If each of the audio clips is a separate audio file (track) then each can be played as Build-in (Start Audio) either on a Click or Automatically. Thus, each can be "synchronized" with its associated graphic image by having the audio and graphic Builds occur simultaneously.
Remember: If you are scheduling an Automatic Build, the actual Duration you specify in the Build menu depends the processor speed of the playback computer, so if the timing is critical, you need to confirm this on the playback machine.
Good luck.

Can't get my audio clip to work in Keynote except in edit mode. I've followed Help instructions to the letter. Any suggestions?

Hi Gary - thanks so much for your help. I'd already done that, but finally stumbled across the answer for my situation. I'm new to iMac and this is the first time I used Keynote, so maybe this info will help someone else along the way - I still haven't found this in any of the Keynote documentation or forums I've read.
My slides were all set up with at least one text box in which the text was animated. The sound was the last thing I added to each slide, exactly following the info in Keynote Help re: adding audio. The audio would work when I tested it in Inspector mode, and also if I switched to soundtrack instead. But not if sound was added to each individual slide. Hmmm. After I submitted the question above, I was running through the (auto) slide show one final time to check text, animation, etc. when I noticed that on just one single slide the sound effect came through, but at the very tail end of the slide. Hmm again. Why?
Through trial & error, the answer was in the animation section - not very intuitive re: audio. The steps to correct the issue were: 1) click on the sound icon embedded in each slide, 2) click on the animation tab in Inspector. 3) There's a drop-down menu there that allows you to reposition the audio clip to the #1 spot (if it was added after other "animation"). This allows the sound to begin before the text animation begins on each slide. Before doing this, I guess the sound was in there but the slides were transitioning before it had a chance to play.
Since this is the first time I've used Keynote and it's the most recent version, I'm not sure if this is a new feature to allow users to choose where within a slide to play a sound effect, but I'm guessing that might be why was unable to find any info on how to solve it. Hopefully this will help others who get stumped.
Thanks again for jumping in to help! I really appreciate it.

Stumped! Can't Get Some Audio To Play.

I have some files that I converted with Visual Hub and I used their Apple TV 5.1 encoding. I have my Apple TV hooked up to my TV through HDMI. I recently moved and now no mater what I can't get the audio to play for those files. I have audio when I go through the menus and if I listen to music or podcasts. But these files that have DD 5.1 all of a sudden don't play. I've tried everything I could think of. Can anyone help?

Same TV?
t
Not all process DD5.1, but if they don't there's often a second stereo rack in files which will play.
Is DD out enabled in settings on AppleTV?

Udio to my clip. When I bring it over it highlights the entire clip as opposed to adding it above or below. Then I can't edit the audio clip. HELP!!

Just discovered this nifty little bug myself today. Boy, Leopard is really bug city, I'm definitely regretting the upgrade. I was glad to find the 'show in mailbox' trick, although then once I went to re-send the message, it duplicated it for some reason and sent it twice, so now my business contact thinks I'm a moron because I sent him this super large attachment TWICE thanks to moronic Mail.app.
Another interesting thing though, is that after finding the email via 'show in mailbox' and opening it, it actually displayed the MP3 attachment as the old Tiger quicktime player (w/progress bar) as opposed to when I first composed the message and it would only display it as an icon. I thought they had just removed that feature for some reason, but nope! Another bug!

One of my audio books will not play. My music plays. And my other audio book plays. When I try a listen "the singularity is near", It does nothing. I try and move he cursor to the middle of the track and hit play, but it moves back to the beginning.

Audiobooks purchased from Audible.com. They play on iTunes on my computer. They have been playing on my iPod Classic until two days ago. I'm in the middle of two books and now one does not keep track of where I am and the other does not play. I also have other books not playing on the iPod that use to play. They all play on iTunes on my computer.

Thanks, that helped.

If you mean using the mail app - yes it can be kept open. You do not have the multiple open windows feature in iOS like on a computer so you still have to navigate back to the mail app via double tapping the home button or by swiping to switch apps if using multitasking gestures.

Can you span an audio clip across sequences?

I know you can do this across scenes in Dreamweaver. I am wondering if it is any different.
I would like to take an audio clip as a source for background music, and have it play across all the sequences I have in my project, so that there are no jumps in the playback of the music. Is that possible?
Thanks!

why not just leave the music out of your sequences. Then make a master sequence where you put all of your other sequences, essentially using them as nests. Then you can have the audio file play straight though all of them?

Audio Clip plays when it is supposed to be faded out.

Hey I keep running into this bug and its a fickin nightmare. I am editing 16:9 dvcpro50 23.98 footage, with audio from dats, cds, camera.
I am playing back the timeline with 12 to 14 audio tracks being faded in/out. When the audio clips are at -inf they still PLAY!!!
This only happens when I have a lot of tracks.
I have deleted renders. Still happens. Made new sequences. Still happens.
This is for sure a BUG. Where is Apple's list of bugs so we can all know we are not hearing things.

dual 2gig G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I've been having this same problem since upgrading to 5. (I've got a 90 min feature running, w 20 audio tracks) there's a couple of possible fixes i've figured: drop you're real-time audio tracks down to min(2) so you have to render the whole thing... doesn't take too long. then 4 playout, export a quicktime (not self contained) this'll ref the media and seems to ease the load. Also moving overlapping tracks slightly seems to help, though obviously not ideal... the two combined got over most probs. only happened twice after that... which is a. lot. better!
hope that helps,
i'm on 5.0.3 so maybe it's fixed on 0.4? haven't checked whats out...

Audio clip plays normal in Media Browser, but imports as "clicks" in session after saving & reopening.

This problem has happened with almost all of my large Audition projects. File links are intact & properly managed, and most audio files play as expected. However, some files in the session get replaced with this "click" track, for lack of a better way to describe it. The audio is literally replaced with a repetitive click, or pop sound, as you can see in the image below:
Both tracks had waveforms like the top track, but now the second track has been replaced with clicks.
The strangest part: The file in question, in this case: "Grass" (downloaded directly from Youtube Audio Library, so, not corrupt) previews perfectly fine in the Media Browser window. In the File Browser, however (tracks actually used in the session), it previews as nothing but clicks. When I try to then replace the track in the mixdown / file browser with the seemingly uncorrupted file in the Media Browser, it comes in as clicks!
The only thing I can think of is that the analysis files associated with the project are getting damaged?
Please help!

Can you send a copy of the Grass audio file to [email protected] and we'll take a look?

How can I import "extracted audio" clips from iMovie project into iTunes?

I imported my home video into iMovie HD 6.0.1 and extracted the audio. How can I get the extracted audio clip (aiff format) into my iTunes playlist?

Genny,
I just tried to answer your question over in the iMovie forum. Have a look over there.

Audio clip plays in browser preview but not online

Hi,
I discovered that one of my Mp3 audio clips is not playing
properly online. The thing is that it plays fine when I preview it
in the browser within the Dreamweaver CS3 program (even on other
browsers like Opera). So I don't know what could be causing it.
Here's the page and it is the second clip titled 'Have You Met Miss
Jones'.
My Audio Page
I appreciate any assistance on this.
Many Thanks, Frank B.

It played for me but...
A couple of issues you should address.
You don't have a DOCTYPE and
you have two instances of <title> and </title>

How can I revert my audio clips that I have edited in Soundtrack Pro back to the original audio?

I edited a project in FCP6 and sent numerous audio clips to Soundtrack Pro where I sampled and removed some AC and fridge compressor
hum from some interview footage. I'm sending the project out for professional sound mixing and they advised me to restore the original
audio to prevent the creation of artifacts when they process the sound in a different program.
Is there some way to "revert" all my clips that I edited in Soundtrack Pro back to the original audio without going back to
my original interview footage and cutting in clip by clip? (Next time I'll save my original audio on a duplicate timeline -- live and learn!)
Thanks in advance for any helpful ideas!

What happens if duplicate the sequence, then choose one of them to use "match frame" to get back to the original clips?

How can I get my iPod to play noise when it says my headphones are in but they arnt and I can't get it to play music with out my headphones in ?

How can I get my sound to play my iPod says my headphones are in all the time and they arnt so it will only play sound when my headphones are in

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem..
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

Audio keeps playing even when it doesn't show on timeline

Right, so this is my situation. I have a piece of music (3 minutes long) and I want to use a portion of that in an animation.
I made a separate layer for music only and added a keyframe. I dragged the music from the library on to the stage. The music worked and started playing. But I don't want to use all of it, so I made another keyframe to contain the music. The little red audio wave thing showed that it was only in between those two keyframes, but the music kept playing even after the second keyframe, despite that the audio wave ended beforehand. Even if I remove the frames after the second keyframe it still plays.
This is what it looks like. See how before the keyframe in the middle there's a red thing indicating sound, but after it's gone. Yeah, the audio still plays after that.
And ideas? Thanks

click the keyframe that contains your audio (to select the audio)>in the properties panel change the sync property to 'stream'. retest.
