One Audio File, Multiple Slides

Is it possible in Keynote for an audio file to play through x amount of slides w/o stopping and restarting like in powerpoint. I know you can just use timeing and put stuff all on the same slide but w/ 100+ pics that is not the easiest way to go. Not sure if this helps but the whole show is automated, so there is no user interaction required.
Thanks!

It isn't possible to have an audio file play across a subset of a presentation's slides -- it either has to be set for the entire presentation, or set on a per-slide basis.
If the presentation is just photos, and the presentation is non-interactive, iPhoto's slideshow capabilities or iMovie may offer more flexibility. Even if the presentation isn't just photos, you could export the KN slides as images, then import them into iPhoto or iMovie.
If the presentation were interactive, you could create separate presentations for each audio file, and then link them with hyperlinks, but this would require user interaction.

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.

I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, the cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler. I get the message "nothing to display"

I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, then cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder ad multiple song files. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler. I get the message "nothing to display" or "no region or audio file selected" After much research on the web, I believe this is a permanent bug. Does anyone have a good work-around for this type of work. We record live 16T band rehearsals constantly and would love to be able to break individual songs out of the large file and be able to use the sampler. Thanks in advance for your ideas! Cheers.

Another thing - if I copy one of the tracks to another track, then the sample editor works on the copied track. I don't want to have to copy 16 tracks to new tracks to be able to use the sample editor on a project. Thanks again.

Adding a plug-in to just one audio file?

Hello,
I'm really new to Logic Pro and I was curious if there is a way to add a plug-in to just one audio file in a track and not the whole track? Thanks!

Or you can press 'A' on your computer's keyboard and where it says 'Volume', click and hold to bring up the automation options. Choose 'Bypass' for that plug -in slot and add four nodes to the line by clicking on it in four places. You can get the plug in to be bypassed until the appropriate place that way.

I want to transcribe one audio file of a lecture into text. I don't have a need for extended use so can anyone recommend how to do this free? Thanks

Mike,
I was successful, in a test I just conducted, to get Siri to record your problem statement in a Note file on the iPod as I used the Edit > Speech feature in Safari to play the text. I don't see why dictation wouldn't work as well. Why not give it a try?
If you don't have an iOS device to try this with, you could write your audio file to a CD and use an external player to get audio to the Mac.

AVTransmit, how transmit more than one audio files

Hello. I have download the client server example from your site for transmitting an audio file. The example is in http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/AVTransmit2.java
The thing is that i want to change it so as to transmit one audio file after another, something like having a playlist. How can i change the datasource and play the next audio file? I try to change it by adding an endofmedia event but just changing the datasource is not working

Is there a way to have more than one audio file play in a slideshow?

I know how to add one audio file to play as the pictures go through, but is there a way to get a second audio file to play in the same slideshow??

Make an album in iTunes with the songs you want to play in your slideshow. Then drag the album to the audio well of your iDVD slideshow.

Importing .wpl audio files for slide show in Elements 4.0

Once again I have to prevail on my fellow Photoshop users' expertise. Help! I am trying to import music files from a playlist in Media Player (Microsoft Home XP) into a slide show in Photoshop 4.0. I get error message "Cannot open file because it is the wrong type of file." (The files turns out to have .wpl extension. Have tried to move the files from Media Player first to "My Documents," then open them in Organizer or Editor, but get the same error message. (Have moved similar files successfully into SONY Vegas video editor all along.) Is there any way to convert the audio files to the format suitable for Photoshop (.wav or .wma)?

I think that sunny_afternoons.mp3 is one of the MP3s that comes with Photoshop Elements. In order to see that audio file within the PSE Organizer, you may need to change the View menu settings for media so you see the Audio files. (You can temporarily set it to display only Audio files to make them easier to locate. However, it is important that you then set it back to your normal options to display Photos etc - otherwise next time you use PSE you will wonder - What Happened to my photos?)
Once you find that mp3 file, right click on it in the Organizer and see if the Organizer can play it. If the Organizer can't play it then generally the slide show can not either. However, playing in the Organizer does help analyze problems but it is not a guarantee that the slide show will be OK. You might also check what is the default player software on your system for mp3's.
Other than that - I don't think I have any additional ideas. Since you are attempting to run in an environment for which Adobe offered no support and no statement that it would work, you might just have to try to debug your system on your own.

How can I get one audio file to stop once another is triggered on the same page in EPUB?

I have multiple audio files on one page and am able to trigger each separately with their own control panels. Unfortunately, these can all be played over one another. Is there a solution within InDesign to stop the first active audio file once another audio button is triggered on the same page?
WIll this have to be done through Javascript?

Use buttons. They can have have more than one action. Set a button to stop the first audio, and start the second.

Recording with just one audio file per track

Is there a way, when recording, to just have one continuous track? When recording a 2nd take on the same track (say track 1), instead of having another separate audio file for the 2nd take, I would like to have just one complete audio file instead of bunches of them. I've looked in Preferences and the menu options and have overlooked it if it's there. I hope I am being clear. Thanks.

Hey Terry,
I'm not sure why this is a problem - if you think about it its just like recording multiple takes on tape - you then comp the best bits to create the final 'take'.
Also as AA streams direct to disk at some point (ie when you stop recording) AA has to close the file otherwise it would get corrupted.
I guess it just gets a little getting used to?
If I'm gonna do a complete 2nd (3rd, 4th etc) take then I might drag the previous take down on to a muted track (if I think I might use bits out of it) and then re-take - or just delete the previous take and re-record.
At the end I then select File->Delete Unused Media (I think thats what its called). When all takes and mixing is completed I use this application to identify all the unused files that are not needed and that can be safely deleted - http://www.mediasweeper.com.au

PSE 9 Organizer error codec trying to add an Elements audio file to slide show

I am using PSE 9 to build a slide show. When I add audio, I can use mp3's from my music library in the slide show without any issues ...
but I am getting the following error when I try to add an Elements audio file (example " A _Taste_Of_Sicily.mp3)
This is the Organizer error message:
"Unable to add the audio file (C:\ProgramData\Adobe\ElementsOrganizer\8.0\Music\A_Taste_Of_Sicily.mp3).
The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compresser/decompresser(codec) installed."
I had PSE 8 and upgraded to PSE 9 - I noticed the error file detail shows 8.0 - Is this my problem - maybe an incomplete upgrade ? (I've made several slideshows mixing photos and music, on an older computer using PSE 8 and never ran into this issue.)
Below is my system info in case that helps:
OS=Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on an HP Pavillion dv7
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-430M Dual Core processor (2.26GHz, 3MB L2 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.53GHz
8GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
512MB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 5470 switchable graphics
IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Thanks for any help !

Does that file extension really have a space in it? If so, remove the space.

Changing a length of more than one audio file in same time

Hi! I'm searching a way to change a length of the several audio files at the same time (this applies to ads that will be broadcast at the radio. The sounds need to have same time accurate to milliseconds). Let's say I've got 20 audio ads, which were originally meant to have 30 seconds, but each of audio file has small differences reaching less than a second. I would like to do a one-off activity, that will change length of each file to equal 30.000 seconds. In a word, is there a way to stretch several audio files, which have different time, to the same length at a same time ?

Thank you for your reply, problem solved with the help of Adobe CC, but it turned out that one of open-source applications also can do it.

Change the volume of one audio file played in icm script

Hello,
Using the play external script element to simply play queue music (recorded as 10 minutes long), is there a way to adjust the volume of the audio being played within the script without having to re-record that specific audio file?
95% of our static audio is recorded fine and plays at the appropriate volume, but we have new queue music coming in all the time (with sales info, annoncements, etc.) that is different in volume from time to time and it would be nice to have an adjustment filter for playing that specific audio file and then adjust back to the default (if needed) afterward.
This would be much easier than asking our vendor to re-record over and over again until tested right.
Anything possible with this? Or would there be something on CVP that could control volume for one specific audio file?
Thanks for any info,
Greg

Even if CVP could control the volume on individual files (It can't, as far as I know), you're better off normalizing the file in Audacity as David mentioned. Having some server modify things on the fly is just wasting resources, why not adjust the file? Audacity is free and open source.
We record our voice prompts using a Unity Connections Voicemail box... Not the cleanest solution, but it works well for us as we have small global contact centers all in different regions, with different voices for each center. I make a habit of running all of my files through Audacity before putting them on media servers - otherwise I would potentially have prompts recorded at different times having different volumes depending on how "the voice" and Unity were doing that day, not to mention all the pops and clicks from using a sub-optimal recording solution. Normalize and the Envelope Tool are my best friends.

Audio over multiple slides in Captivate 5

I am new to using Captivate 5 and i'm trying to record audio in Captivate that will play while 3 slides advance on their own.
I read something on a past thread that talked about clicking a "slide divider" - I can't find the "slide divider" and about a "distribution window" opening after I record the audio - that never appears.
Can anyone help me with this? It seems like it should be easy to find.
Thanks
Emily

Hi Emily,
You can record audio to 3 slides in different ways.
Option1 :
You can record audio individually on all the three slides by invoking the Slide audio dialog for every slide.
1. On every slide you wish to record audio invoke the slide audio dialog ( from Audio >> Record to >> Slide ) and record for the single slide. Saving the recorded audio will add it to the slide you recorded.
2. You can follow step 1 for all the three slides you wish to record.
Option 2:
You can record audio to all the three slides continuously in one go. You can do this in the SLIDES audio dialog
For ex if you want to record audio for slides 1,2 and 3, then select slide 1 and invoke the slides audio dialog from Audio >> Record to >> Slides
You get a "Record from Slide" dialog. Enter the Slide numbers for which you wish to record audio and click ok.
This will open the slides audio dialog.
Slides audio dialog shows up the slides selected in the "Record from slide" dialog. Enable "Continuous play" and "SWF Preview" and Click on the recording button. This will record audio over the three slides as you narrate. Audio will be added to all the three slides. You can see the Movie (SWF) preview or the Slide number mentioned in the top right of the preview pane to know the slide number you are recording to.
If some portions of the audio spills over the next slide then you can arrange the markers in the EDIT tab. Here you can play the audio and pause at the point where you want your next slide to start and click on the button highlighted by Lilybiri. Its called the "Start Next slide here" button.
After all the recording is done click on SAVE to add audio to all the three slides.
Try out these and let me know if it works.
