Continuous audio clips between slides

how do you make the same song play for 2-3 slides? i know you can add a song to the entire presentation but i want to have that specific clip for only 3 slides. Also, is there a way to make a smooth transition (ie: sound fading out and into the next sound clip with each slide change) between slides and different songs??

Greetings and welcome to the Forum.
The only way to accomplish what you want (within Keynote) is to create a new audio track from your audio "clips" off-line (for example in Garage Band) cross-fading between them.
Next, create a "sub-set" presentation, containing only the slides that will be associated with this audio track.
Then, import this track as a Soundtrack for the "sub-set" presentation.
Now, Record the Builds and Transitions for each slide in sync with the audio track.
Finally, link each of these "sub-set" presentations together via Hyperlinks.
Yes, it is cumbersome, but the ability to deal with audio is severely limited in Keynote.
You also can use other off-line programs to create audio-with-visual segments and then import these into Keynote. But that's a whole other story ...
Good luck.

  • Audio clips between moving menus

    I have created a disc with moving menus from after effects and when the transition takes place, there is an audio clip. Is there any way of reducing this or even eliminating it all together?
    I have checked other retail discs and some do have it, others don't

    Soundbooth, Audition, Premiere, to name just a few of your options.

  • Continuous Audio Recording while Slide Viewing?   

    Is there a way to be watching the various slides, in a
    continous manner, and record a continous audio track? This would be
    similar to the video and audio editing in an AVI movie format? That
    I am used to.
    I see that I can record new audio per slide but I have not
    found the way to be watching the slide presentation and have new
    audio being recorded at the same time..............in "real"
    time.

    Thanks for the info, I checked it out and it was all in order. After a little more experimenting, I came up with this:
    -Yes, the mixer is set to 44.1kHz / 16 bit.
    -No noise is present if GarageBand is running and the mixer is on, until the AAudio-Technica mic is plugged into its lead.
    -Upon leaving the lead in the mixer, but removing the mic from the other end, the noise stops
    -My little no-brand condenser doesn't give the same problem, even when using the same lead.
    This leads me to believe that the problem could be with the microphone or GarageBand, even though I tested the mic and mixer together without a computer and they sounded fine. Possibly a missing driver, or just a general incompatibility? I'll try my setup in a sec on our laptop, which has GarageBand '11. I'm also using Phantom Power to run both mics, could this pose a problem?
    Thanks

  • Audio Clipping in Slide Show- Whats Going On?

    I created a slide show using five songs that have a total time of 23:33. My slide show is 23:33 minutes long. Before I output to a .WMV file the entire show plays wonderfully. After I output and playback the music stops at 23:00:01.
    I can not figure this one out. This happens everytime I output. It takes 4 to 5 hours to output so it is becoming very annoying.
    Please Help...

  • Synching one audio clip amongst several video clips

    I got media from a client:
    3 x video clips (with camera-mic audio attached)
    and
    1 (one) long continuous audio clip recorded seperately, which speaks to ALL three video clips
    The audio guy did NOT start/stop his recording when the camera guy start/stopped his camea. (Hence, the three video clips, versus the ONE long continous audio clip.)
    The audio guy did NOT clap-slate (Argh!)
    I went to "synchronize" the clips in FCPX. The first video clip synched up just fine.
    However, the other two video clips did not.
    Q: How can I help FCPX along to synchronize the one, long conitnous audio clip to the three SEPERATE video clips?

    If the three video clips string out with the single audio file, in the inspector assign the sane camera angle to all three clips and them make a multicam clip of all four items.

  • How can I match sound quality between video clips and audio clips?

    Hi guys,
    First of all let me say that I enjoy using the latest Media Encoder. However, as a novice, I have two related problems.
    1.I am recording video to use with PowerPoint slides in Adobe Captivate. I am encoding the video with best quality FLV. This produces very good video,
          but with a degraded audio track, even though I had filtered the audio in soundbooth. The post encoding sounds like it did before Soundbooth corrections.
    2. Some of the video recording has been set cut into audio clips to be used as background narration behind PowerPoint. The logic behind this is: that if both are
          recorded at the same time, the voice quality should match.
    This is far from the outcome. I have tried MP3 for the audio which of course produced the best sound- but is entirely unlike the rest of the video. I have also encoded the audio with Windows Waveform preset figuring that since the soundbooth edit was a .wav file, that there should be a reasonable match. Wrong again!
    So, the audio quality of all clips is poor, and the difference between the encoded video clips, and the audio encoded clips spoils the otherwise professional result in Captivate.
    Please help, all of you experts.

    Thank you.
    OS Windows 7 x 64; 3.2 MHz; 2 TB; 12 GB Ram-9GB ram allocated to Adobe.
    My process is this:
    1. The whole video and audio narration material is shot in one continuous video sesseion.
    2. The microphone is only mono, but the camera is set to stereo. Noone can work out how to change the camera to mono.
    3. In Premiere Pro 5, I select render and replace in SoundBooth.
    4. In Soundbooth, I choose Add Multichannels.
    5. In Multichannels, I delete the unwanted noisy channel, and any other unused channels.
    6. With the remaining mono channel, I then select Export and Save As option, then Stereo.
    7. Next I edit the stereo channels as needed.
    8. The imported stereo won't automatically update in Premiere Pro, so in PPR I import the new edited stereo track.
    9. I test this track in PPR, to check that it is playing R & L channels. It is. OK.
    10 On the timeline, I proceed to cut apart this single stereo wavelength .
    11.These clips are saved as Video, or Audio subclips.
    12 From the video subclips, I export to Media Encoder, and choose either FLV4 match attributes (High Q). This I modify to custom 2 pass (Custom save).
         The summary says that this is saved to MP3 Stereo.
    13. I import this into Captivate 5, but the Video outcome is Left channel only. I have tested this on Media Player/Real Player where it is also L channel only.
    14. I export my Audio subclips to Media player, and select MP3 option and this summary also reports stereo. The Audio outcome is stereo, when played in any player and in Captivate 5.
    I cannot understand how a single, continuous track edited uniformly in Soundbooth to stereo, can produce different outcomes in Media player.
    I would so appreciate a solution to this problem, because, in the Captivate 5 e-learning production, the switch between stereo audio (behind PowerPoints), and l. channel video is distracting. Naturally, the l. channel only is a thin sound. It is as if it had never been edited in SoundBooth at all.

  • Audio in Clip1 continues across Clip 2 (no sound) during a Cross Dissolve

    Hi,
    Just got a new Intel Mac Pro with heaps of RAM & HDD's to use for my part time wedding video production business.
    I have a problem in iMovie 06, which I just can't find a solution for.
    When I place a cross dissolve between say clip 1 & clip 2 the audio from clip 1 continues across the full cross dissolve with NO audio in the cross dissolve from clip 2. It is only when the playhead cross over the cross dissolve to clip 2 that clip 2 sound can be heard!
    This is VERY annoying when clip 1 has quite audio & clip 2 is nosiey - I get a instant increase in volume when the playhead goes from the back of the cross dissolve to clip 2!
    Can anyone help!
    Thanks,
    Trav

    Try selecting Show Clip Volume Levels in the View menu. Then select the transition and expand your time line as far as it can go to view the transition. You will see that the transition has a volume line running horizontally through it, just like any other clip, that lets you adjust the volume by dragging the line up or down. It sounds to me like your transition has the volume line pulled all the way to the bottom, muting all sound in the transition. Adjust the volume line upward in the transition. If I am correct, the sound from Clip 1 and Clip 2 should be blended into a smooth transition. Worth a try, anyway.

  • Audible Click Between Audio Clips

    Running PP 5.5. Editing an AVCHD project with seperately-recorded WAV audio files. Dropping the various audio clips of the various scenes into the timeline and I keep getting clicks between the audio clips upon playback and export. There are no empty frames between the clips, nor any overlapping clips. Even looping a single audio clip in Audition results in a click at the beginning of each clip. In either PP or Audition the clicks are only audible when playing normal speed. Scrub through the timeline with the arrow keys and the clicks are not present.
    Ramping up/down the gain at the head/tail of the files still results in clicks between the clips. Doesn't matter if the clips are in the same track. It seems to be a file access issue and not an actual audio track sound, except that when I export the movie the clicks become part of the audio track of the exported movie. Except for these audio clicks everything is working perfectly.
    I just upgraded from PP CS4. Opening up a copy of this project in PP CS4 and I have no audio clicks.
    I'm stumped...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
    I have a very fast computer:
    i7 - 980x
    24GB RAM
    Dual SSD HDD's in raid 0 for OS
    Quad 2TB 7200RPM HDD's in raid 0 for files

    PP 5.5 (5.2) Legit
    W7P x64

    Audio is encoded in samples per second (e.g. 48000) and video is played back in frames per second (e.g. 24). There are significantly more audio samples than there are individual video frames and Premiere cuts to the nearest video frame, so there may be instances where the cut point occurs in the middle of a very short sound that you would have barely noticed in the full-length recording.
    This is a problem I have experienced in all NLEs; it is not just limited to Premiere. The easiest way of solving it is to add a short cross-fade at the beginning of the audio clip.

  • How to SIMPLY add audio crossfade between two clips ?

    Tried to make a simple cut edit for tv news.
    How to add an audio crossfade between two clips to soften transition ?
    Detach audio, then create audio only scenario, then add transition ? Unusable.
    When importing 8 tracks from Xdcam HD, how do you choose wich audio track to add your transition to ?
    Also, impossible to re-export to Xdcam disk on the field.
    This piece of software is simply unusable in real life pro conditions. Some very nice features, globally a disaster.

    First thank you all for taking time to reply.
    I found these solutions myself but for me these are only workaround.
    In Fcp7, you just had to drag and drop dissolve transition to clips junctions TO AUDIO TRACK ONLY. Very quick and simple. In Fcpx, it is very time consuming if you want to add audio crossfade to every clip junction in a full project. That's really not a software evolution in my opinion...
    I think "easy transitions to audio tracks only" has to be implemented in next version.
    Thanks again !

  • Audio clips on question slides?

    I am new to captivate and so far, I love it.  However, I am working on a drill and practice tutorial in Captivate 5 and need to add audio clips to my questions slides. 
    I have tried adding a roll over text as was suggested in an earlier thread, however, when I play the project, the audio doesn't play.  My audio clips are about 1-3 seconds long and I need them to be repeatable (not just once as the slide opens). 
    I haven't had any trouble with the audio on the regular slides, just on the question slides.  This is a quiz and I would like to use the random questions feature so it (the quiz) doesn't become predictable. If you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate any help. 
    Thanks so much!

    Looping the audio on a question slide might not be the best strategy unless you are using this for some gentle background music that you wanted to play while the learner was answering the question.
    For instructional voiceover, the rollover caption would be the better choice.  There are two parts to a rollover object.  The rollover area is the hit area that your mouse must roll over.  Audio attached to this part will play once when the slide loads.  So it's a good choice if all you want to do is tell the learner where to find more info. E.g. "Roll your mouse over the Info button if you don't know what to do."
    The other part of a rollover object is the caption or image that will appear when the mouse is rolled over the rollover area.  Audio attached to this part will play each and every time the mouse event occurs.  This is the best choice for adding audio if you think the learner may need to hear the instructions more than once but you want to leave them in control of when they hear it.
    As soon as they roll the mouse off the rollover area, any audio attached to the caption or image will cease to play.

  • How can I allow the user to pause the audio of a slide (and restart it) before continuing on to the

    Most of my slides have a combination of test/graphics and voiceover.  I would like to allow the user to pause, resume, and replay the audio of each slide.  I know, as a learner, I sometimes need to go back and hear something again -- or pause until a distraction has passed.
    How can I tie audio to a playbar or set of buttons?  I know if it's video, it can be done.  How do I give them control of the audio? 
    I am in Captivate 7.  My files are .mp3 files.
    Thanks - TL

    You cannot add extra buttons to the playbar but you could add a Replay button to the slide and have this button execute a Standard Advanced action with a Jump to Slide action that points to the same slide you are currently on.  This should effectively jump your user back to the beginning of the same slide.

  • Premiere 8.1 overwrites adjacent audio clip when original clip sent to Audition

    We have been editing a documentary in PR 8.0.1 for several months and the UI started to get really sluggish 1.5 weeks ago. I upgraded to PR 8.1 to see if it would solve the problem and hadn't checked the forum. We were able to get a couple of days of editing before hitting this issue and hope to get it resolved and not have to redo the edits. I spent a couple of days with support and decided to revert back to a clean installation of PR 8.0.1 to work on a couple of other projects while the 8.1 issues get worked on.
    The original problem was orphaned PR processes (up to 4) that were left when PR was closed. We are able to get work done by terminating the orphaned processes.
    The audio issue is a show stopper and I didn't see anything similar in the forums. I have an original MXF audio clip next to one that had been successfully sent to Audition. The original audio immediately gets the adjacent clips file when played after I select the clip and "Edit in Adobe Audition". The audio in Audition is correct. I figured out that I can take other original MXF clips and "Edit in Adobe Audition". I then go back by one step in the history tab in PR and then copy the audio .wav file from Explorer to the PR timeline. It still shows the adjacent clips peak file, but plays correctly. We are going to continue sending the rest of our .mxf audio to Audition and will try to replace the two bad clips with their originals. I have no idea why these clips are tied together and although the clip name is correct, it is playing the adjacent clips audio. Very odd.
    I've deleted the PR and Audition Cache Files and Media Cache Files. No help. I logged case 0186055576 on the 29th, which is when I removed all Adobe products and reinstalled them. Audition is Build 7.1.0.119 and Premiere is 8.1.0 (81). I'm running on Windows 7, i7 920, 48 GB, LSI 9286CV-E RAID disks and Nvidia GeForce 480. I have tried it with  Mercury Playback Engine GPU and software only, no help. The sequence is DV NTSC 29.97 and 48 kHz audio. The problem clips are from a Canon XF305. I have old SD footage which is why the sequence is SD. There are also 5d Mark III clips with sync quality sound. The lavalier audio was recorded to the XF305. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated. I work in Seattle and could provide all source files on a USB drive if anyone at Adobe is interested, please, please.

    I think i have found the reason for this and a workaround for it. However it would be good to be fixed in the next update !
    So what i think it was was that some of the recorded sound came as a wav which was 5 mono tracks. When normally sending straight out as an OMFI or to Audition it was seeing these as a full 5 tracks each time therefore one track would be the equivalent of 5.
    Workaround is as follows for future reference :
    Working from a copy of the project
    1)Delete all video tracks and then render and replace audio. This creates extracted audio which you then need for the next step.
    2) Project manager the Sequence as it's just extracted audio it won't copy video files so should give a reasonable size folder.
    3) Open the project managed project which will reference just the extracted Wav's but it also loses the tie between the combined tracks
    4) Then one track at a time export out an OMFI embedded.
    Weirdly the AAF was still having the same issues after this. So i believe that was a red herring. Premiere just seems to struggle embedding with an AAF. OMFI is fine though.
    This is quite a roundabout way but works with no issues . Adobe please fix this, FCP and Avid work first time without all of this mucking around.

  • CP4: Audio on some slides cutting out early

    I have some slides where the audio stops a fraction of a second or so too early. That may not sound so bad, but it sends a signal I'm either a bad sound editor or don't know how to speak. How do you suppose I could address this? Add a second or so silent tail to each faulty clip? I recorded these files as .wavs using XP's Sound Recorder and imported them into Captivate, which has always worked dandy for me. What's even more strange is only some slides are affected.

    Dan,
    I came up with a goofy yet effective fix to this issue. While Cp4, the moody little monster it is, will let you continually add silence to the end of an audio clip for a few minutes at best, I can do the following until the cows come home:
    Double-click the audio clip from the timeline, or open it up however you prefer.
    Insert your playhead at the end of the clip.
    Ensure your microphone is plugged in.
    Click the Record button to add some ambient noise. A second or two should do the trick.
    Highlight the sound you just recorded, not the entire waveform.
    Click Adjust Volume.
    Reduce the volume on this portion of the clip to 10% repeatedly until there is no sound at all.
    Click OK.
    Just as good as Insert Silence, but a bit more labor intensive.
    Goofy junk like this makes me glad my shop just ordered some Cp 5.5 licenses.
