Icon to Add Audio Clips to a Slideshow

In the Slideshow editor, under Slideshow Options:Audio, there are two icons: a wastebin to delete audio clips, and another one that has an "@" icon on it, to add audio clips.
However, this latter icon doesn't do anything when I click on it - what is it supposed to do?
Nigel

That's a pickwhip, and you click and drag/drop it onto the audio clip in the Project panel that you want to add to your slideshow.

  • Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

    Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project in iMovie? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. Whenever I add audio or song it covers the whole project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

    Thank you for your reply Karsten but unfortunately this didn't help me so far. Or maybe I'm missing something?
    First the link is a tutorial for iMovie on a Mac. I'm using iMovie on iPad so the steps are inapplicable.
    Second it is only possible for me to manipulate the end part of the sound clip to whichever duration I want. But I can't do the same with the 'beginning' of the sound clip.
    I simply want to place some photos in the beginning of my video with no sound in the background then after like 2 secs I want to start the music clip. For some reason that is not possible! Cause every time I drop the music clip unto my project timeline it automatically place it self along with the first frame in the project! And consequently the photos and music are forced to start together.
    Hope I'm making sense...

  • How do you apply multiple songs or audio clips to one slideshow?

    I created a large project, 200+ slides. I wanted to to use multiple songs so when one ends a new one comes on. Everytime a dragged a new audio clip from Itunes it just replaced the other song. 

    You have to make one "song' in iTunes that includes all the songs you want to play.

  • Trying to add audio narrative to a Slideshow via vocal track on Garageband-won't take. How can I do this for illiterate friend?

    I have set up a Slideshow on iDVD with the intention of adding a narrative and burning a dvd, so a friend of mine who can neither read nor write will be able to watch the pictures while listening to the narrative.  I have produced a narrative by using the Male Vocal track on Garageband, but when I try to drop the result into the Audio box at the base of the Slideshow Edit Window, it won't take. I know that only certain types of audio will work, but I thought Garageband would do the job.
    If I can't do it that way, how can I make a suitable narrative without putting it separately onto a cassette tape?
    Using an iBook G4, running OSX 10.4.11– the latest system I can run.

    Save the Garageband track as an aiff or mp3 file and use that.

  • Adding audio clips in 30 second intervals

    Hello,
    I'm new to Adobe Premiere Elements and I'm glad to have found a forum with folks who have such extensive experience and knowledge about Adobe!  My situation...I would like to add audio clips ("beep") every 30 seconds to a video. (I want to collect data from the video.)
    What is the best (and easiest) way to do this?  
    Thank you in advance for your help!!
    mlv

    One can add a Marker by tapping the * key on the numeric keypad. You could do this every 30 sec. (you can drag any about, if you miss the cue). Then, I'd use a "beep" SFX file, and place one at each of these Markers. If you have an SFX file that has any pre-roll in it, first thing that I'd do is alter it in Audacity, or any sound editing program, so that the actual "beep" comes at the very beginning of the Clip, and do a Save_As, then Import that edited SFX file.
    Here is a list of possible sources for SFX (and music) files. Many are free, and some are for sale:

  • 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 to replace an audio clip by another one in a Aperture slideshow?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to replace an audio clip by another one in a slideshow in Aperture? This clip is between two other audio clips.
    Thank you

    Is it a secondary audio clip?
    Then just select and press the delete key ⌫.
    And drag a different audio clip from the Audio Browser there. The trim the clip by adjusting the start and beginning.

  • CS5 Slideshow duration won't update to new audio clip

    In a completed slideshow with "Fit slideshow to audio duration" checked (duration 00;19;32;24), I decided to replace the audio with a shorter composition (00;10;00;22). With the original audio clip cleared and the new audio clip added and the "Fit slideshow to audio duration" checked, the slide durations recalculated so that the last slide has an out point of 00;10;00;22 but the slide show duration remains "stuck" at  00;19;32;24. The end action is set to return to the menu but when the last slide goes to black (at 00;10;00;22) the slideshow keeps running with a black screen, presumably all the way to 00;19;32;24 before it hits the end action, although I haven't let it run to that point yet. I have turned "Fit slideshow to audio duration" off and back on, hoping it will recalibrate to 00;10;00;22 but the duration doesn't change. Help, please!

    Try playing with these ideas:
    Uncheck "Fit Slideshow to Audio Duration."  (As you probably now have it anyway.)
    On the slideshow properties, basic tab, set the slide duration to zero.  What is the slideshow length now?  The length of the new audio or the old?
    Or, set the slide duration to something large (I think so that the total is more than either audio length).  What is the slideshow length?
    Now check "Fit slideshow/audio."  What is the length?
    I got the same symptom you did (audio plays past end of slides) when the slide durations added to less than the audio length and "Fit slideshow to audio" was not checked.

  • One sequence or 8 sequences...Creating a slideshow with 8 audio clips

    I am creating a school yearend slideshow...using 8 audio clips ..in total ...about 18 min. long.
    Should I be using 8 sequences...one for each song...or would it be easier to create just one sequence and have 8 tracks for audio clip.
    I am new to FCE so it has to be simple ...for now.

    For project like this, I usually just edit in one Sequence.

  • 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 !

  • Trying to add spoken audio clip to iMovie with my internal microphone

    Hi, I am creating an iMovie which is comprised of images. I am trying to record poems on my MacBook Pro with the internal microphone, so that I can add an audio clip to the movie. I have OS X, so can't use "Simple Sound".
    Can someone suggest how I can add a spoken audio clip to an iMovie? Do I need to buy new software to utilize the internal microphone?
    Thanks,
    Diana

    Lots of wonderful options.
    Audacity,(http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/mac) is a free audio recorder, that lets you edit out background room noises. Just make the audio file and import into iMovie.
    Imovie 9/11 has a voiceover function, that lets you record your voice. You can import a voice file in iMovie 9 or 11, put beat markers in and then import images that will sync with your markers.
    Imovie 06 (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/6.0/en/imv1077.html) easily lets you sync images with a voiceover.
    Keynote lets you make a movie by doing a voiceover with your images.
    I participated in several projects doing this kind of digital storytelling, and found iMovie 06 the easiest to use. I suggest, if you have the time, going to YouTube and researching digital storytelling and various forms of iMovie, or going to apple's tutorials. All Macs come with an internal mike that works with included software. Hugh

  • How to delete the transparent frames that Pluraleyes adds to replaced audio clips in an event ?

    Hi there,
    I have a workflow issue working with Pluraleyes 3 and FCPX.
    MY CONTEXT
    So I imported all my clips into FCPX (about 300 from camera 1, about 300 from camera 2 and separate audio which ran almost with only very few interruptions on set).
    I synced everything with PE which gives me back the following :
    1. a new Event with replaced audio clips.
    2. a new Event with one giant multicam clip.
    3. a new project completely synced BUT with the non-replaced audio clips
    MY PROBLEMS
    1. Problem is that the clips have additional transparent frames before and after their actual video (i.e. PE makes new clips from video and longer bits of audio that do not begin/end at the same time).
    2. The giant multicam clip has plenty of chunks where audio was recorded but where no video was.
    MY QUESTIONS
    PE has created plenty of useless clip lengths. How can I get rid of them with some batch process ?
    OR if I say that another way
    How can I create an EVENT that contains clips with the exact same length as the originals, only with the corresponding audio replaced ? (Please remind that I have LOTS of clips)
    Moreover, the clips within the new events created by PE have (not surprisingly) lost all keywords I gave to the clips before syncing with PE. Is there any way to fix this ?
    Thank you so much because it feels like PE's job is kinda useless  :-/

    It's the Shift key. It's not a button. It's shifts from lower case to upper case when typing. It's been called the Shift key since the 19th century.

  • How do you add video clips to an iPhoto slideshow?

    I've made a slideshow for my daughter's graduation. I tried to include a couple of video clips in it, but when the slideshow gets to the first one the screen goes black and the video doesn't play. How do I do this the correct way? I use iPhoto '11

    Do the video clips play in iPhoto at all? 
    What theme for the slideshow are you using? 
    Where are the video clips from?
    Are you using any transitions between slides particularly the video clip? 
    Have you tried putting the video clip in a slideshow by itself and see if it will play?

  • How to trim an audio clip in Aperture ?

    Hello,
    I received your email regarding the change in the length of an audio clip (on the secondary runway) in a slideshow with Aperture.
    You tell me to change the length of an audio clip on the main track, I have to change out of Aperture. My audio clip is in my iTunes library.
    I am a beginner on Mac! How to access my iTunes library and get the "Info" menu of iTunes library in the Options menu?
    Regards

    Evelyne, you are referring to your previous question in this discussion, right?
    How to reduce the length of an audio clip from the main track in a slideshow created with Aperture?
    You tell me to change the length of an audio clip on the main track, I have to change out of Aperture. My audio clip is in my iTunes library.
    If you want to shorten your audio file in the Main Audio Track, open iTunes (from the Dock, or from the Applications Folder, or from the LaunchPad).
    In iTunes
    select the song that you want to trim in the browser or in a playlist;
    and open the "Info" panel (from the main menu bar: File > Get Info") or press the keyboard shortcut ⌘I.
    Then select the "Options" tab in the panel and change the start and stop times and close the panel again by pressing the "ok" button.
    Quit iTunes.
    Restart Aperture.
    In Aperture open your slideshow, click the iTunes icon to open the Media Browser and select the modified songs. Drag it to the TimeLine as background track.
