Recording Slideshow with Existing Narration...

Greetings Support Discussion Members,
Is there any way to record a slideshow using an existing narration? What I want is to use a narrative recorded at a studio, sync to slides with variable times [not fixed timing] and have this playback in sync with audio and slides playing back timings with the mouse or direction arrow? And export this to Quicktime. Read completely through the manual and there is no clear way to do this. Anyway you can instruct on how to accomplish or workaround would be appreciated. Thanks! DD

Tulse,
Thank you for your suggestion. It works! I found that you have to be careful in setting up Soundflower precisely. Or else it won't work. Very interesting indeed! I tried it with one slide to see if I can get the audio in there. It really works! I'm quite surprised that Keynote does not allow you to do this easily? Hopefully this will be included in an update or subsequent version. Because you're using TWO applications now, you need to give yourself time switching between the two. You could put a tone, click or short space with a beep/audio ID to tell you when to start recording in Keynote. The Apple Discussions community is awesome! Thank you all for sharing and caring! Best wishes for all in 2009. Donnie D.

How to write the new records not with existing records.

hi,
I have a script.If i execute the script it writes the records.but its writing with the exisiting records.It writes not only the new records but also the old records.

there will be some problem happens when we are going to upload a bulk data of say 25000 records.if its gonna update 20000 records,rest 5000 records i have to do it in next step,if this is going to happen then the first 20000 records will be displayed forever.because it have the capacity to write 20000 records.thenext 500 records will not be written.so there is a chance of redundancy.how to avoid this redundancy while running this script
my script is
create or replace procedure input_tables(table1 in varchar2)
is
str varchar2(32767);
cnt number(2);
cursor c1(tname in varchar2)
is
select column_name
from all_tab_columns
where table_name = tname
order by column_id;
rec c1%rowtype;
begin
cnt:= 1;
str:= 'declare '||
'cursor c2 '||
'is '||
'select ';
open c1(table1);
loop
fetch c1 into rec;
exit when c1%notfound;
if cnt = 1 then -- Added New
str:= str||rec.column_name; -- Added New
cnt:= cnt + 1; -- Added New
else -- Added New
str:= str||'||'',''||'||rec.column_name; -- Added New
end if; -- Added New
end loop;
close c1;
str:= str||' SRC from '||table1||';'||
' r2 c2%rowtype;'||
' ft UTL_FILE.file_type;'||
' str2 varchar2(200);'|| --Added New
' begin '||
' ft := UTL_FILE.fopen(''SAMPLE'',''OUTPUT.csv'',''w'');'||
' for r2 in c2'||
' loop '||
' UTL_FILE.put_line(ft,r2.SRC);'||
' end loop;'||
' UTL_FILE.fclose(ft);'||
' end;';
execute immediate(str);
end;

Export recorded slideshow, with embedded quicktime, to quicktime...

...doesn't capture the video.
I'm trying to export a Keynote '09 presentation, with recorded audio. The presentation also contains embedded quicktime video (a screencast). However, the resulting exported quicktime does not run through the embedded video (the initial video still is shown throughout the whole narration of the screencast). I'm using the "recorded timing" playback.
While its exporting, the Keynote preview actually shows screencast playing fine.
The embedded video plays fine when I export without the recorded audio.
Any idea what might be happening here?

Well i just found this and tried it, it worked
1) Go to export to QT as usual.
2) Click the second drop down (Formats) and select 'Custom...'.
3) A new window will pop up, click the 'Settings...' button.
My 'Compression Type' drop down was set to 'H.264'....I was told to
4) Change the 'Compression Type' to 'MPEG-4 Video.
(I do not think it is related to the fix being suggested or just as a preference, I was told to slide the Compressor - Quality slider on the bottom left to 'Best')
5) Click the 'OK' button on the bottom left
That window will close.
6) Click the 'Next' button and continue with your export.
Not sure why this works but it did. But i still cant do it the normal way.

Why does my Keynote Presentation begin at the last slide when I'm in "Record Slideshow" mode?

I am working with Keynote 6.2.2. I created my presentation. I want to record the slideshow with a narration. I know how to do it. However, when I choose "Record Slideshow," the presentation automatically jumps to the last slide and will not let me change that.
Has anyone experienced this? And, how did you fix it?
Thanks.

I just answered my own question. I can reset the slideshow to the first slide by clicking on Clear Recording - even if there is no recording (I simply rehearsed it).

Creating a slideshow with narration

Hi,
I'm wanting to make a slideshow with narration over it recorded from a digital recorder. It looks like there are different apps/options for doing this but I'm wondering what the best way to go about it is. I guess my main concern would be just making sure the narration lines up with the slides. I'm a newbie to dealing with photos on a mac so any info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

I guess my main concern would be just making sure the narration lines up with the slides.
Are you planning to burn the slideshow to DVD or simply view it on your Mac? If the former, then I would recommend you build your slideshow in iMovie 6. (If your Mac came with iLife '08 then you can download iMovie 6 free from Apple. It has better control of the audio track than iMovie 7.) That way you can see how your audio track lines up with your photos. You can edit the audio track somewhat in iMovie 6 (fade in, fade out) and lock an audio clip to a particular spot in the video timeline, to keep them synced the way you want.
You can also use GarageBand to edit the audio track of an iMovie project. I haven't tried this so can't comment on the advantages of this over doing it all within iMovie 6.
Many people complain that when using iPhoto to match the timing of their iTunes playlist to the timing of the slideshow that after exporting to iDVD the timing is not retained. That's another reason to use iMovie - the relationship between the video and audio tracks will be retained when you import the movie into iDVD.
Regards.

Can I convert a pdf slideshow with narrative to a movie file? Using Pro version 8

I am working with a template software (Vacation Bible School) where I insert pictures and at the end, it plays a slideshow with narrative (already in the template) when you open it up and hit the spacebar. it works fine, but there are 5 different files and the company we got the template/pdf files from suggest for presentation purposes, I should just open up each file individually and start the slide show. it seems kind of clumsy having to open up each file individually, play it, close it and then go to the next file. It would be great if I could capture the slideshow as a movie file, then combine all 5 movie files into one file that can be played on a CD player (I use Sony Vegas studio and Nero software for this). I am using Acrobat Pro version 8. Any suggestions?

It can't be done in Acrobat.
I just did a Google search on "pdf slideshow to video" and saw a couple of third party products that claim to be able to do it. I have never had a need for that, and can't claim how well they work.

PS8 Win Slideshow editor existing sound caption ignored

I have a slide with a sound caption. It plays fine from thumbnail view by clicking on the thumbnail speaker icon and from the property panel speaker icon and also in the full screen view in a slideshow but it is ignored when I try to create a slideshow with the slideshow editor and play it. I have checked the box in Slideshow preference for include audio caption as naration but when I play slideshow it doesn't play either with/without music background. When I click on the mike icon on Extras bar, there is 00:00:00 time shown for the caption. I can record a new audio for the slideshow and that works fine but I want to play the existing audio clip/caption that I can play in a full screen slideshow. If I record a new clip and click box to save narration as audio caption, it replaces my old audio
Anyone have idea of how to make work or is this a bug.

I think that it is a bug and I suspect that it also existed in some previous versions.
My general observation is that Adobe is not spending much effort (or perhaps no effort) on either the slide show creation or on audio captions. So my observation is that this problem you are experiencing has "double jeopardy".
If you want to experiment - you could try
1-- first makeng a copy of the audio file that now contains the photo associated caption for safe keeping: place it in a folder structure outside of Elements
2-- make an audio file of the same lengh by recording from within the slide show editor while positioned on that photo
3-- copy the contents of the audio file that you copied in step 1 and replace the current contents of the audio file created in step 2
Will this work? I don't really know, but if you do want to try we could discuss further. Initially I am not really sure if you want to take the choice of "save narration as audio clip" in step 2 - I think perhaps NOT.
Also I am curious, do you have any previous versions of Photoshop Elements installed? If yes, was the caption associated with the photo file recorded in a previous version of PSE or was it recorded on your camera with its associate photo file?

Will my recording slideshow on keynote translate well as a power point on a PC?

Hello, I'm creating a power point presentation while narrating it using the" record slideshow" option on keynote. I will need to turn it in a for a letter grade. However my professor will be using her power point program to view this presentation, and I was just wondering whether or not my voice narration would be transferred over?
Thank you.

The best information is in the Keynote user manual from Page 107.
Be aware that many users are having problems playing back Keynote with narration, especially in Mountain Lion.
Additionally, the links to media files are lost when exporting from Keynote, therefore the narration will have to be imported into Powerpoint again. I never use Keynote to export to PowerPoint if there is video or audio involved, it just does not work properly, I therefore work in PowerPoint directly. If you don't have PowerPoint, download Open Office for Mac, its every bit as good, and being freeware it costs nothing.

Record slideshow and view presenter view?

Is it possible to have he presenter view while recording a narration to the slideshow? The default view when entering menu Record Slideshow... is the full slide view, without next slide and presenter comments.

Hello Steve
I may have misunderstood your question a littel and raced off and examined your site. What you are saying is that your pages in Dreamweaver look different to the web and you have some content that is from an old version of the site?
If that's the case, I'm wondering how you have set up the site in Dreamweaver? When you set up an individual site you should define a site. This helps dreamweaver manage various aspects of the site's structure. Did you do anything like that? Are you relying on an older copy of your site on your PC or did you install a completely fresh copy on your machine after the web designer's redesign?
One thing that I would try is to compare a page that does look ok with a page that does not. Identify the part of the page that doesn't look right and examine the two pages in code view to see if you can spot the difference.
Apart from that, the validation errors are a different thing. Your website is working and it looks pretty good and if that's your main concern that might be enough for you.
In the mean time, let's hope someone with a bit more clout can come up with some suggestions!

Best way to give a default value to a New Column with existing rows

Adding some columns to SQL tables with existing data rows. There are also views created from these tables. The views are used in some report/query software so NULL values are not good. Interested in learning about the best way to set a default value.
These are the ways that I can think of
1) ALTER TABLE using the DEFAULT to add the column and set the default value
++ Adds a constraint which is not terrible. Constraints are just not used much in this shop.
2) ALTER TABLE to add the column then do an UPDATE statement to update the values
++ might be an issue for tables with millions of rows
3) ALTER TABLE to add the column then use ISNULL in the CREATE VIEW

It is a large table with 444 columns and max row size of 2268. 907k records took 1 minute 38 seconds to UPDATE the column. I have about 12 fields to add to this table and about 44 tables (not all this large of course) so it will take some time to
UPDATE. Although ... i just tried updating 3 columns in a single UPDATE and it took 1 minute 36 seconds. So If I did all 12 fields in a single UPDATE it would be about the same time as a single Field. I will think about it.

How do I create a slideshow with music and voiceover?

I am trying to create a slideshow with photos, music (iTunes playlist), and voiceover created in Garageband. I cannot figure out how to have both the voiceover and the music play during the slideshow. I also tried iDVD but ran into the same problem.
I also wanted certain songs to play during certain sets of pictures and I can't figure out how, other than to create separate slideshows for each song, how to set it up to show the photos for the duration of certain songs... if that is possible. However, my main issue is the first one - how or which program to use to combine photos (iPhoto), music (iTunes), and voiceover (GarageBand).

Use separate tracks for music and voiceover/narration so you can adjust volumes independently.
I also wanted certain songs to play during certain sets of pictures and I can't figure out how, other than to create separate slideshows for each song,
Use separate tracks for each song or use two tracks and alternate songs on these tracks so as to allow maximum alignment/overlap possibilities.
how to set it up to show the photos for the duration of certain songs... if that is possible.
Slide photo and/or song to align beginnings and then drag the end photo "handle" left or right to change its duration to match the duration of your song.

Keynote Recorded Slideshow tends to "miss" transitions in playback and upon

From time to time, I read, in these discussion, some outstandingly derogatory comments about some of the Apple software. Although disappointed at times, I had never felt the level of frustration that seems to lead other users to those outbursts - until now. I've run into a problem that I have been unable to resolve, but according to all documentation, what I am trying to achieve is one of the features designed into the product.
Keynote seems to have a tendency to "miss" a transition during playback and/or export, such that the recorded audio becomes one transition ahead of the visual component of the presentation. There is no apparent consistency to this, as re-recording may find the "miss" at a different point in the presentation, and exporting it to QuickTime may see the "miss" in another spot altogether.
In some cases, the "miss" was an "On Click" transition. In other cases, the "miss" was an automatic (after transition/previous transition) transition or move, but always with zero delay. Let me re-phrase this - the transitions occurred correctly during the recording. It is in the playback or export of the recorded slideshow that the transition is subsequently "missed."
I moved the work from my dual G5 to my IC2D and re-recorded, but resolution was not found.
One might suggest the imbedding of audio in each slide, however, a really good show includes audio that "bridges" slides to improve the continuity of the presentation (or movie, which is the ultimate objective for this current project). Recording the audio externally (e.g. Garageband) takes considerable effort to marry the video with the audio in close synchronization.
I am seeking others who have had the same experience and who have found the elusive solution.

Just read your post and I appear to be having a similar problem with a trial version of '09. I just posted this on another topic.
"I'm trying out the '09 Version of Keynote and have made a great slideshow that I want to export to a Quicktime Movie. I have a soundtrack playing in time with transitions through the first portion, then a slide which contains a quicktime movie. Then a further 2 slides with one containing a short sound effect.
I've done this before on '08 so I'm sure I'm not doing anything wrong, but everytime I export to a movie the movie within the slideshow doesn't play.
I've recorded the slideshow to get all the timings in time with the music, I've tried setting ALL transitions to automatic and fined tuned them to match the music. Then recorded it and kept quiet.
This slideshow will play from start to finish with no input from me, but when I export it, the movie in the slideshow just remains on the first frame till the next transition happens.
I've even tried uploading straight to YouTube but the same occurs.
Help, is it a glitch in the software. I've had 3 movies playing within a slide before and successfully exported it in a movie in '08. What's wrong!!!
Cheers for any feedback"
