CP 6.0.1.240, Background Music, & Slide Video

Hello All,
I have a CPTX project which is a marketing type piece.  It introduces our new software features, has images, text background music and two slides in which I have inserted video.  These videos were imported as:
MP4
Multi-Slide Synchronized Video
Video Type: Progressive Download
Modify Slide Duration to Accomodate Video 
There is a moment right before the video starts in which there is a spinning arrow that appears as the video is loading and during that same time, the background music skips.
I would love to make the video play in a more seamless fashion and without user interaction.  I would love to get rid of both the pre-loading pause and skip in the music but will settle for just getting rid of the skip in the music as that is a more obtrusive interruption for the user.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Julie

UPDATE:  When I finally published the video to YouTube, the hiccup or pause on the background audio seems to have resolved.  It was very evident in previewing the project and not noticeable once published to YouTube.  I have a new issue now as it relates to pausing but not of the audio of the video itself.  I will be posting a new thread for that.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime?

    Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime? When my girlfriend and I are trying to watch a movie on Netflix together while on FaceTime my MacBook Pro always decreases the volume of any background sound on my computer so I can barely hear it. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you!

    Have the same issue too. Apple can you please change this annoying feature. You are making long distance relationships more difficult.
    I like how Facetime was with the old iOS, where nothing was dimmed. OR at least maybe if you could give users the option to turn on or off dimming of facetime.

  • Adding background music to video.

    What is the difference between music added that shows in green background under the videos and that in purple that covers top and bottom of video?  How do you get the purple one?

    Green indicates background music that is free floating as you add or delete clips. Purple indicates music pinned to a particular point in your video.
    This article explains how to pin and unpin your music:

  • Need Help onsome background music of a video of iCloud

    When Apple Introduced iphone4s on 5th,Oct , iCloud was launched as well..
    I want to know the background music this video , which introduced iCloud
    Here is the Link: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzEwMTQ2MzEy.html  Begins at about 44:20    //Can't get access to YouTube in PRC,China.. 
    I Like it very much~So I want to know the name of the background music~
    Hope someone knows the name~
    THANKS!!

    Hi again!
    The background music for the iCloud video was produced for the video, and doesn't exist anywhere else as an independent song.
    Someone may have recreated it without the voice-over part somewhere on the internet (it's relatively easy to do with that material), but it's not something you'd be able to simply download from a service like iTunes.

  • Adding Background Music Underneath Narration on a Single Slide in Capt 5

    I just finished putting together my first Adobe Captivate 5 project and  there is one last detail I need to learn how to do. I have recorded  narration on every slide. I now want to insert background music  underneath my title (first) slide and on the conclusion (last) slide.   Somehow I accomplished this on the first slide, but I cannot remember  how I did it and cannot seem to replicate it on the last slide. I  imported the jingle called Corporate Video2 from the Adobe library. When  I click on my last slide and go to Properties and click Edit Audio, I  hear my narration. When I click on my last slide and then go up to the  little music note icon up top on the toolbar called “Background Audio” I  see and hear the corporate video jingle. How do I meld these into one audio file? What is the  proper technique to add background audio? Should you lay down the  background music first and then record audio or the other way around? Is  there some little trick or glitch I’m missing? I only want to do this on one slide, not the entire project. When I preview the  project I only get narration, no music, even though when I go to  Background Audio, it looks like I have successfully imported the music  file. PLEASE HELP! I got this far and want to put this project to bed!  Thank you.

    Hi there,
    Welcome to Adobe Captivate Forums
    In Captivate audio can be recorded to 1. Slides, 2. Objects and 3. Project background.
    So you can record in whatever way you want to. In the case from what you mention, i can understand that you need to add background audio to first and last slide of your project.
    First let me explain you that background audio will be for the entire project. So if you add an audio to project background then it plays for the project till the end of audio. If you want the audio to loop over and play again then you need to enable that option in background audio dialog. This way audio will play in background for the entire project.
    Now considering your case i can understand that you have recorded audio for individual slides. So the slides already have a audio and you cant add two audio files to the slide. To accomplish this what you can do is to insert a text caption on first slide ( and last slide) of the project and make the text caption transparent. Later you can delete the text of the text caption . This way you have an object on slide which is not visible to others. Now you can import audio( background music) to this text caption and in the published output you can hear the audio from the text caption and the slide audio.
    This will give you narration + Background audio on specific slides effect.
    Try it out and let us know if you wanted anything more than this.
    Thanks

  • In IMovie 11 9.04 my background music loses time when I transfer it to the slide show.  How do I correct that?

    I have a slide show project which runs about 7:10 minutes.  I want to use background music that consists of 2 songs.  The first song is 3:11 minutes and the second song is 4:51 minutes.  Even when I add transitions and more images, the second song loses duration the moment I transfer it to the slide show.  HOw do I adjust that?
    Thank you.

    years ago, there were DVDcorders ... encoding in mp2,, but wrapped into .vob - this can not be fixed with Perian
    ... sorry for being so ... stubborn, but my assumption is, your wrong diagnosis 'mp2' leads to an unnecessary, obsolete and painstaking long workflow. again, no camcorder on the market records in mp2 (as long as I stand corrected! )
    so, what Sony model, please?
    I guess, there's a much more conveniant way importing your videos  ...

  • Using downloaded songs for slide show background music

    Maybe I am naive, but I just joined iTunes and downloaded some music to use as background for slide shows of family pics. I am using Microsoft Plus! to put the slide shows together. The iTunes songs downloaded in MPEG-4 and the Plus! code will only recognize MP3. I am also concerned that the copyright protection will make the songs not useable for the slide show compilations. Any ideas? Thanks!

    In iTUnes you can burn the song to CD then reimport it as a MP3. Goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>Import sub tab, and set it from "AAC" to "MP3" then hit OK
    Now burn the songs to CD in itunes. Put the CD back in and hit the "Import" button in the top right corner of itunes

  • How do I add background music to selected slides?

    How can I can add background music to selected slides only? Also, when I add recorded voice to selected slides, the presentation starts from the slide from which the recording started and not from the first one of the presentation. Are there answers to both these questions?

    Gilda,
    The only way to add selected music/voice narration to individual slides is to place the audio files on the individual slides and set a build to Start Audio or Start Movie.
    Music files can either be from your Media Browser Audio or from other files that are in your Finder. Simply drag and drop on the slide. Select the audio object on the slide to assign Satrt Audio/Movie builds.
    To crate Narration Files to be placed on a slide, an easy way to do this is to use your Quicktime Player > File > New Audio Recording > record your voice-over and save it. Then drag it onto your slide and then Build Inspector > Build In > Start Audio/Movie > Open the Options Drawer and set the start to mouse click or automatic.
    Adding an audio file to the entire presentation via the Slide Inspector > Audio Well will make music play across all slides.
    This information and more can be found in the downloadable Keynote '09 User Guide available from your Keynote Help Menu.

  • How do you add background music to a DVD chapter menu in iDVD?

    I just need to add background music to a DVD menu-the main menu
    thanks

    Just to cover the bases, did you check the audio slider bar to the lower right of the iDVD menu screen to make sure that the sound is turned up, or check the menu slider bar for audio in the Menu pane?
    Is your song in aiff format? 
    Sometimespermissions and preferences can get corrupted. Whenever iDVD starts acting funny, a common maintenance procedure is to do the following: Delete preferences by closing iDVD and trashing the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User (the House icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair usingthe Utilities/Disk Utility App on your Mac. Open the Disk Utilities window and select the Mac hard drive icon at the top of the side pane at the left. Then click on the Repair Permissions button. When you have repaired permissions and deleted preferences, restart your computer and launch iDVD. iDVD will replace the .plist file that you deleted. Be sure also that you have sufficient free disk space on your hard drive for iDVD to function correctly. 25GB often is recommended by users of this forum. After doing all of the above, relaunch iDVD and see whether you still have the problem.

  • Re: How do solve volume adjust problem on background music with voice

    I have using Captivate 6,i have facing in adjust volume on  background music with voice when drag play bar and using backward,forward buttons in preview.

    Hey there,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If your iPod, is a 30 GB model, then it is a 5th generation iPod. This information can be found here: [Identifying iPod Models|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353]
    There are a few ways you could go about solving this issue. The first thing is to enable Sound Check on your iPod, which can be found under *Main Menu -> Settings -> Sound Check*. Next, be sure the option is also enabled in iTunes. The setting is in iTunes preferences Playback pane. Place a check next to the box for *Sound Check*.
    Another option is to adjust the overall volume of the song in iTunes, and then sync the updated changes to your iPod. To do this, locate the song(s) in iTunes, right->click and choose *Get Info* from the menu. From there, head over to the Options tab. Move the slider up and down depending on whether you want to bring the overall volume up or down and then hit Ok when you are finished. Lastly, sync your iPod to update the changes made to the altered songs. See if that helps.
    There are also excellent 3rd party applications that can adjust the songs overall volume. One can be found [HERE|http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net>.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to mute the background music in a slideshow so the audio of an included video can be heard?

    I am running iPhoto 11 version 9.4.2 (710.42) on a MacBook Pro.  Some of the slide shows I have developed have videos included along with photos.  I have added background music to these slide shows with the sideshow music selector.  The videos have audio that I want the viewer to hear, however the background music continues to play and the video audio is hard to hear, and when there is music in the audio of the video, the two musical pieces tend to clash. Is there a way to mute the background music so the audio of the video can be clearly heard?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    That's called 'ducking' and no, not with iPhoto. You need something with more control of the soundtrack.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold.
    Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter  $29
    PhotoToMovie  $49.95
    PulpMotion  $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Pro X $299
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for. 

  • How do I play background music for a movie

    It is easy to set the iPOD to play background music for a photo slide show.
    Is it possible to have the ipod play a song as background for a movie? The "movie" is really an mpeg4 file created by using a screen grabber and is silent.
    If it is not possible to do this within iTunes/iPOD is there any easy to use and inexpensive software that I could use to add sound to the movie and then import it into iTunes?
    Thanks,
    David
    Apple Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Why not keep it simple and just put up the short file and
    play it right through - even it if duplicates something in a longer
    version?

  • Converting slideshow from iphoto with itune playlist as background music

    I have created a slideshow in iphoto with an itune playlist as the background music and when I convert it throught quicktime into a movie it only plays the first song from the playlist. All photos look good in the slide. This problem has started since I upgraded to quicktime 7.4. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have created slideshows with music before and converted them through quicktime with no trouble. I can't figure this one out?? Thank you

    David,
    I am sorry! I thought I was giving a solved to both of you. I was just playing around with fotomagico tonight. I love it...for $49. I know I have alot of posts and should be familiar with the solved thing. But most of my posts involve when I first started with Macs three years ago. I should have been more carefull. Non-the-less you were considerate enough to take your time out to help me. Much appreciated!
    Some people on this FCP site are very critical of newbies often criticizing rather than helping. I rarely post here because of that.
    I am a old time photographer (still have my darkroon stuff) who wants to get into a bit more of the film thing. Hence FCP. But what a learning curve! Mind you it is easier than Photoshop! (Now that's a learning curve coming from a film/darkroom guy).
    Thanks again.

  • Background music and voice.

    Is it possible to have both background music and voice narration in the same slide?  I would like the music to start and then gradually fade when the voice begns talking.  I am using Captivate 4 but will soon be going to Captivate 6.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    This can be achieved in multiple ways ..
    Option-1:
    Captivate provides you Background audio. Import an audio file for your background music as a background audio. Follow the menu "Audio > Background audio"
    Then import your narration on your slide and time it appropriately.
    Option-2:
    Import your background music on your slide and let ut fade as per your need.
    Add a transparent text caption object and import audio to the caption. Time the object such that it plays once the slide background audio fades out.
    Hope this is useful.
    Captivate 6 has better control over background audio as compared to Captivate 4. You can give it a try.
    Regards,
    Mukul

  • Background Music Volume for imovie '08

    So I've added background music to a few clips. I know how to mute the clip volume (so that you just hear the background music), and I know how to duck (so that you can adjust the clip volume louder or quieter than the background music), but how in the world do you actually lower the volume of the background music? I just can't figure it out.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Thanks for the tip. It seems to actually work a little different on iMovie '08 though. I just highlight the background music clip then bring up the audio adjustment window and adjust it with the top slider. I noticed on the apple website tutorial the inspector was at the top left like you mentioned, but that's not how it looks on the '08 version.
    But then another thing that was messing me up was that I had added the music as a voiceover. Dragging the music file and placing it exactly between or over a clip makes it a voiceover which looks like a green bar below the video clip or clips. So first I had to delete that then grab the music file to the blank area at the right side of the video clip. This strangely put the music at the very beginning of the project, so I had to grab the top left corner of the beginning of the music clip then drag it to where in the project I wanted it. This apparently is called pinning the music. My project is going to be an hour long, so it seems like kind of a tedious thing to do to have to drag the music clip through the entire project to place it exactly where you want it. I'm sure there must be a better way to do this, but for now I'm just glad I figured out my mistake and how to set the background music volume.
    Thanks again for the advice though.
