Determining audio files and corresponding slide # in Presenter

It is a big challenge to edit audio files.  Presenter does not sequentially number audio files, they appear to be random.  Which means you have to hunt and peck to find the correct audio file to edit for the appropriate slide.  Any fix for this?

See, now we're getting somewhere!
When I wrote that line about having corresponding audio files after publishing (ex: a24x[some number].mp3), I was referencing the .mp3 files you get as a result of publishing the PPT deck using the Presenter plug in.
However, as you wrote:
"...Each of these mp3 files also has a corresponding *.lthmb file (for example 1088225537.mp3 has 1088225537.lthmb)..."
what you're looking at is the folder that Presenter creates the moment you start incorporating audio using the recording feature that Presenter offers (the same would be true if you imported audio files using Presenter as well.)  And, as you have found out, trying to get a handle on which audio file goes w/ a particular slide is horrendous at best.
Okay, may I suggest another tactic?
Let's try this: Publish the PPT deck you have.  What you'll end up with is a set of files and folders, but I want you to look for the data folder that's created as a result of the publishing process. (Unless you specify where you're publishing to, Presenter will publish to a directory called "My Adobe Presentations" by default, so you may have to look there on your harddrive)  Inside the data folder will be a list of mp3 files, which, if everything goes smoothly, should make it much, much easier to see which audio is used by a specific slide.
Here's what I mean: for example, after publishing, I have a data folder and inside I found the following file: a24x9x3.mp3  As I double click the mp3 file (which causes it to play using Windows Media on my laptop), I can hear that it corresponds to my slide 9 in my PPT deck.  And there's corresponding mp3 files for each and every slide I have in my deck.  I'm clicking another file (wouldn't it be nice to see what I'm doing???) a24x20x3.mp3, and that file corresponds to my slide 20 content in PowerPoint.
So again, give publishing in PowerPoint a shot and see if that makes it any easier.  Well...not nearly as easy as recording in Audition/Soundbooth/Audacity, but it's close enough to hopefully dig you out of that hole you're in now.

    Thank you Russ! Seems as though the timestamp on my audio files was completely incorrect so it placed the files far away from the corresponding video. I've modified the timestamp information and this has helped. The hour/minute information is incorrect but at least now I'm in the ballpark. Thank you!

  • Determine audio file play time from size

    Hello!
    I have a mp3 file and i want to determine it's play time from it's length. Is this thing possible? Could anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance!
    Cheers!
    Radu

    Thanks you both for your replies!
    I posted yesterday late in the evening and my brain didn't work quite well :)). After i've read your posts today, i realized that i will be using mplayer in slave mode to play the audio file, and a quick google search showed me that mplayer offers a way to retreive the play time of any audio/video file (in seconds). Tested it today and it works! So i guess my question has been answered.
    Thanks again
    Cheers!

  • How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy

    How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy?
    It is very cumbersome to "re browse" for audio files/pics/movie clips to add to menu screens. Certainly there is a way to view the media and menu screen at the same time so I can drag and drop?

    Jayhawk
    I think I know exactly what you are seeking and believe it cannot be done in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as it can be done in versions earlier than 11 where the Disc Layout and Project Media are viewed side by side.
    Premiere Elements 13 uses a Movie Menu customization workspace which is not allowing viewing of Project Assets in the Expert workspace at the same time.

  • I need to copy audio files and projects from logic to an external hard as my MBPis nearly full and my external hard drive has packed up with all my files on it, any suggestions on how do I copy 200GB from my MBP to a new external HD

    I Use logic and back my audio file and projects on an external HD ,this has now packed up . I have all the files in the MBP , but need to copy them to a new external HD, I have only 10GB left on my machine , how do I copy 200GB from my machine to a new External HD.
    any helpful full advice would be appreciated.
    angus

    Yes, just drag and drop them into the drive..
    How long will it take? Hard to say without knowing the type and speed of the drives in question.. and even then it's hard to estimate... but does time really matter?
    The fact you only have 10 Gigs left will/may slow the process down but it wont/shouldn't stop it...
    If needed.. just drag and drop some of the files at a time.. not all of them.
    Remember that copying files doesn't delete them from the original drive... You will still need to delete them yourself after they are copied over and empty the trash....
    However....
    When you saved these projects in Logic (Pro X?) did you save them using the include audio files option?
    If not, then when you move the audio files used in these projects... Logic will not know where they are to reload them........ and that will cause you issues.
    So.. if you didn't...
    I would use this method instead...

  • Trying to import .mov audio file and burn as MP3

    Can someone point me to a thread, or be kind enough to post answer, about how I might successfully import a .mov audio file and wind up burning it as an MP3. I've been dinking around with this for too long. I can import it and end up with it in the format: MPEG-1, Layer 3. But when I burn it to CD and play it on a Sony boom box, I hear nothing. I tried playing it in another iMac and hear nothing.
    Thanks.

    I was hoping someone in this forum could point me in the right direction to a web site that is designed specifically for Garage Band users that need sound effects.
    Check out:
    http://www.macjams.com/
    http://www.thegaragedoor.com/
    These both are GarageBand-oriented.
    Also, check out:

  • Audio files and voice recordings have no sound in iMovie after a while, help?

    I was editing and I was putting audio files and recording my voice fine then all of a sudden, audio files and voice recordings I were adding had no sound. The ones already put on had sound but when I tried to drag more audio files or record my voice, nothing. No sound. I tried restarting my Mac, didn't work. I changed the MP3 name to AIFF, didn't work. I'm using iMovie '11.

    Hi PK - welcome to the forum!
    Increasingly, people with digital still cameras want to import their short movie clips created with that camera. BUT the catch is that these movies are NOT in .dv format. They are MPEGs, and if they are MPEG1 or MPEG2 then they must be converted to DV before they will import into iMovie with the audio able to play.
    This conversion usually can be done with a free app. called MPEG StreamClip, but may also need another piece of software called the Apple MPEG2 Playback Component (which costs about $20)..
    A search in this forum for those, will give you several threads on the issue!
    Look here, for example, for more about the method required:

    NOTE that iMovie was designed for DV use (a high-quality editing format), not the much lower quality MPEG footage.

  • 24/96 audio files and Apple TV

    Can Apple TV support 24/96 audio files that are in iTunes? Or, does Apple TV only support 24/96?

    No, for some reason stereo audio is downconverted to CD quality 16/44.1 for playback, even over optical/HDMI.
    It's been discussed a few times.

  • How to make a movie from an audio file and 1 static image?

    Hi,
    I want to make a movie that it is basically an 8 minutes audio file and I want to have a background picture that is static and stays there during the whole 8 minutes of my audio.
    How can I do that?
    I'm able to add the audio and the picture, however I can't stretch the picture to 8 minutes.
    My iMovie version is 5.0.2
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi mcanovas - Simply duplicate the picture as many times as needed. In the Photos pane you can extend the pic to 30 seconds, so duplicate that 16 times and there you go!
    I hope the audience will stay focused

  • Open an audio file and get sampled data

    Hello,
    there is a way to open an audio file and get an array with sampled data in Java?
    I need to perform an fft of my audio file.
    Best Regard
    Manuel

    Dear Mr Thompson,
    this is my first post on this topic.
    I have already tried various way to get samples from audio file, in particular I focused my attention on this:
    http://jvalentino2.tripod.com/dft/index.html
    I have implemented the code illustrated in the tutorial but the result is unsatisfactory. If I try to plot the samples of obtained from a pure tone the result is not the expected waveform but something very different, a Fourier analysis of this data is completely useless. Hence I am looking for a way to read data in a similar manner to the matlab's function auread (http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk_r13/help/techdoc/ref/auread.html).
    Fft is not really hard to implement but I'm using a scientific library (http://www.ee.ucl.ac.uk/~mflanaga/java/) for obtain values in frequency space.
    I apologize for the inaccuracies.
    Regards

  • Logic Pro missing audio files and instrument patches

    Good morning
    Last week I downloaded  Logic Pro version  9.1.8 from the App store.
    I have downloaded all the additional copntent listed
    I am running a brand new IMAC with OSX10.8.2
    The instrument choices and patches show up.....
    However  many of the audio files and instrument patches are missing.
    Prerecorded songs can be loaded but...
    When I open a logic song (recorded on my prior IMAC) and recorded within Logic Audio 9.0.0, I get consistent messages such as
    EXS24 Instrument "Classical piano.exs"  Audio file "BDorfer f O d#.aif not found.
    This happens with most most of the patches.
    Many thanks for your help

    The only things missing from the App Store version compared to the Boxed set are the loops and samples that came as part of Soundtrack Pro and those are no longer available..
    However, the sample you mentioned is actually part of the GarageBand Library.... Did you install GB too?
    If you did so... then... three things..
    First, try using FindAnyFile
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
    (Download the version on that webpage and not the App Store version)
    ..and do a search for BDorfer.. (Just that and nothing else) and see if it finds your missing file.
    If it doesn't find it.., install GB and try again... (You may need to rebuild Spotlight afterwards as described below)
    If it does find it then..
    Two.. rebuild GB's Loop index as this fixes all kinds of weird things in Logic... (and yes, i know its loops not samples but it's worth trying based on past experience fixing these kinds of issues)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2443?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    and... if that doesn't work..
    Three... Have you reindexed Spotlight?
    http://osxdaily.com/2012/01/17/rebuild-spotlight-index/
    Logic uses Spotlight to find everything it needs.. so that is worth a try too if everything else fails..

  • Import audio files and assign to slides during import

    There must be a way if Articulate '09 can do this.....
    I have exported 42 audio files into mp3 format using the Advanced Audio Management Panel in Captivate 6. I ran these through a tool to normalize the volumes (MP3gain).
    I now want to go back to the original file, delete the old audio, and import and assign the new files to each slide without having to drag each one from the library to the individual slides.
    How can I do this? (The Audio Management Panel would seem like the most likely way, but I only see an export, no import function.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi there
    Captivate 3 was certainly Adobe. But Captivate 3 is about as similar to Captivate 7 or 8 as a 2000 model vehicle is to a 2007. Things change. Captivate radically changed. Version 5 changed the playing field dramatically because Adobe re-wrote the application and the entire interface changed.
