Editing narration on multiple slides

Two problems I'm encountering (w/Captivate 7): A) Words break across slides & B) Volume is not matching.
Thank you for any assistance!

Hi Wade,
I'm not actually concerned with setting an extra gradient (cool video, though) on top of the group gradient, in fact that's kind of my problem. Here are the steps involved in my problem:
I add a gradient to each object.
I select each object with the direct selection tool.
I use the gradient tool to apply a single gradient to the group of objects.
I select some other tool and go do something else.
I select the gradient tool again to edit my multi-object gradient.
I click one of the objects trying to get the control bar back, but instead of showing me the group control bar it applies a gradient to the individual object.
So my question is, how do I bring up the control bar for the group gradient so I can edit the gradient?
Monika: Making a compound path worked well. I still wonder how one is supposed to edit the group gradient without using a compound path. It's easy enough to apply the gradient, it's just really hard to modify...

  • CP5 Freezing when editing video over multiple slides

    Captivate continuously freezes when I'm working with a video that I've spread over multiple slides.
    This is a Windows 7 computer.  I've cleared my cache incase that had something to do with that.
    Any help would be apreciated.

    Which version?
    Some ideas: background music for the file, to stop on slides 1-2 and 21-23.
    VO as slide auido on slides where wanted.
    For slide 2: object audio which can play parallel with the VO (see http://blog.lilybiri.com/audio-objects-control-them)
    For slide 21-23: object audio with object displayed for the rest of the project, and hidden on entering slide 24

  • Is there a way to record an audio narration over several slides in Captivate 8?

    I would like to narrate multiple slides at a time rather than one slide at a time, is there a way to do that?

    Perfect it seems so obvious now

  • Problems copying and pasting multiple slides from one captivate to another.

    I have been able to copy and paste several slides into
    another captivate and suddenly this has stopped working. I am using
    the ctrl key to select multiple slides (a set of 3) and the using
    the Edit drop-down to select copy slide. Then, I click on the other
    captivate and click paste slides. It is only bringing 1 slide, the
    first one, and not the 2nd and 3rd... any ideas. I've had another
    set of eyes look over my shoulder... and we're both scratching our
    heads.
    Also, for some reason the text entry boxes are being copied,
    but the failure caption associated with it does not come along. It
    also copied the button but lost the association with the text entry
    box. WTH?

    This might work, this might not. I have copy paste problems
    on a regular basis and all that works for me is closing Captivate
    down and then re open and continue. At worst, a reboot tends to
    solve this glitch in my experience.
    Good Luck

  • Best way to control audio over multiple slides-iMovie or QT Pro?

    I have a 30-slide presentation, and due to the horrendous handling of audio files by Keynote I need figure out the least painful way of controlling audio spanning multiple slides.
    My end goal is to have a Quicktime file to put on the web, and to burn to a CD or DVD for viewing on individual computers. There is audio spanning 3 slides (a Garageband mix with voiceover narration built in,)and different audio for background for different groups of slides.
    Least painful method to attempt this and get ACCURATE TIMING for the end product?

    Make a series of Keynote presentations, one for each complete audio track. Export each as a QuickTime DV (digital video) clip. Launch iMovie and import the clips into a single iMovie project; tweak each clip's audio, as necessary. Finally, export the assembled iMovie to your intended QuickTime format.

  • For those looking to add a soundtrack of multiple songs and multiple slide

    YES YOU CAN!!!! the short answer is:
    Use garage band and choose the songs you want from itunes. When starting garage band I choose "movie track". (may work in others too)
    Drag in all the songs you want. Manipulate all you want. Fade, trim, whatever... Then click SHARE>Export podacst to disk. I have mine saved to the desktop. It will be a M4a file that you then drop right into itunes.
    Open Keynote and choose that song as your soundtrack! Ta'da ! That will make one long soundtrack for all of your slides... or...
    Get creative and make a edited song of multiple songs for one slide, and another for the next and so forth by repeating the process for whatever audio you envision... It works, I did it. And I am an idiot.

    This is great!!! Thanks for posting!

  • How do I share a Keynote project as Quicktime with narration on each slide?

    I have a Keynote presentation with narration embedded in each slide. It plays fine as a self-timed show. I tied everything together by "recording" the presentation (with no extra sound). This second version of the show plays fine within Keynote, starting always at the first slide. When I try to share this second show as a Quicktime, the sound is hit-or-miss: part of the narration on some slides, all of it on others, none at all on others. The total length of the QT movie matches the playing time of the Keynote presentation, but the sound is whacko. My workaround was to do a screen capture with iShowU, but I would like to know the solution to the problem within the Keynote program. I would appreciate hearing any ideas anyone may have. Thanks.

    Oh !
    thats a shame
    is there no public or semi public area to save a file to that can be shared

  • Photoshop CC 14.1 editing paths on multiple layers disabled?

    Has editing paths on multiple layers with the direct selection tool been disabled in Photoshop CC 14.1? I can't seem to figure out how to do it now, shift- or command-clicking doesn't do anything. In fact, I can't even click to select individual paths on different layers, something that Photoshop has had forever.
    While it was at times problematic the way it was in 14.0 (always selecting multiple layers and having to go into isolation mode to edit just one), there were times when it was useful to edit multiple layers, or even just click between layers with the direct selection tool.
    I've seen this documentation on the site, but I'm not sure it's very helpful. Can someone give me some assistance?
    Also, what is the custom keyboard shortcut for entering/exiting isolation mode? It is mentioned in the above image, but what actually is it?

    You can still work with paths the way you could in 14.0 -- just choose the All Layers mode in the Path Selection tool or Direct Selection tool options bar. We added the Active Layers mode for users who prefer to isolate which paths can be selected based on which layers they have already selected in the Layers panel.
    To clarify:
    -Active Layers mode: Clicking or dragging on the canvas with the vector selection tools will not affect which layers are selected in the Layers panel. Double-click to enter isolation mode is disabled.
    -All Layers mode: Works just like in 14.0 -- clicking or dragging on the canvas with the vector selection tools can change which layers are selected in the Layers panel. Double-click to enter isolation mode is enabled.
    If you find yourself switching between these two modes a lot, you can add a custom keyboard shortcut that will toggle which mode is selected. In the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, choose Shortcuts For: Tools and scroll down to the Direct Selection Mode Toggle option. Add your new keyboard shortcut here.
    As for your question about isolation mode keyboard shortcuts, this just means that you can assign a custom keyboard shortcut to this command as well (Select > Isolate Layers).

  • Is there a way to print presenter notes with multiple slides per page?

    I know you used to be able to do this with earlier versions by selecting options in the print dialog box, but I'm now using Keynote 6.1 on Mavericks, and I can only figure out how to do one or the other, not both. There will probably be over 100 students printing these out, so I'd really, really like to save paper by putting multiple slides on a page, but I want them to have both the slide and the notes. 
    Thanks in advance! 

    Print Handouts and select presenter notes option, the maximum is 5 slides per page

  • How to save a pdf with multiple slides per page

    I have multiple pdf files that I would like to combine but for some of those files, there were originally from powerpoint. For those files, I would like to change the pdf so that there are multiple slides per page. I don't have a copy of the original powerpoints. I am trying to find an easy way to do this because I have at least a hundred pdfs to do. Thank you!

    You could print a PDF to the Adobe PDF printer, and select multiple Pages per Sheet on the Layout tab of the printer Properties dialog. Printing a PDF to PDF is generally frowned upon, but once it a while it comes in handy. It could have some unwelcome side effects though like wiping out your carefully crafted accessibility tags, bookmarks, and some document properties.

  • Cannot scan multiple slides from Canoscan 8600F

    In the past when I had a PC I was able to scan multiple color slides  (using the multiple slide adapter), but on my Mac when I installed the Canoscan driver and software, I used Image Capture to scan. Here's what the right side of Image Capture shows:
    Kind: Color
    Resolution: 75 dpi (I set this low because it is just for web and computer viewing)
    Use Custom Size: Letter size
    Scan to: Desktop (I have hundreds of slides so is it better to scan to a specific folder? I do not want to mix these scanned photos with my Pictures)
    Name: Scan 1,2 etc.
    Format: JPEG
    Detect Separate Images selected.
    The result of the scan shows one image of the film holder and four blackened slides, with no details. No individual slides shown.
    What happened?

    It's best to scan to a folder on the Desktop so you can keep them together and organized. 
    You must set the source as  "Color Positive Film".
    Image Capture with Mt. Lion (and maybe Lion)  does not have that slide or transparency setting option. 
    Use the CanoScan application for slide scanning because it will automatically select each of the 4 slides on the platten and save them as individual images. The CanoSdan Toolbox will do the same.
    You can get the latest scanner drivers and CanoScan software here:  Canon U.S.A. : Support & Drivers : CanoScan 8600F for OS systems up to Mt. Lion.
    I'd reinstall the drivers and the software and give it a try again both with Image Capture and with CanoScan.
    NOTE:  I've gotten what looks like some roller smudges on the underside of the glass platten.  Looks like some of the smudges that I can wipe off the top side when I get them but they are underneath. I haven't noticed any problem with the scans due to them, however.  Have you gotten anything similar?

  • Using Guides for multiple Slides

    Hello there,
    my problem is as follows:
    I want to be able to use Guides in Keynote for multiple slides. In other words: once I set up guides for one slide, I then also want to see those guides when switching to the next slide.
    Why do I want to do that? Once I find a nice layout which I want to use throughout my presentation, eg. always a picture at a certain position, I want to use the guides to then help me to align pictures on all the other slides at the same position
    Thx for any help!
    Best,
    Helio

    Hi,
    I think I've got it, the issue you have has been driving me nuts and I have tried all sorts (incl. the work-around as suggested by Gillian).
    What I have discovered is that the guides placed on the master are on the slides – it's just they are not visible!!! You will see that when you move an object on the slide it will snap to a guide that you have placed on the master. Quite clever in a way but not practical in another way, so the work-around might still be a good way to help visually.
    I'm aware this is not a great help, but at least it explains how the guides work.
    Hopefully in the next release we will have guides that work like indesign!

  • How do I apply one same transition to multiple slides in one go?

    How do I apply one same transition to multiple slides in one go?

    After you have done either of the previous options to get the transition on the current slides, you can add the transition to the Master Slide so all your new slides will default to the same transition.
