Repeat Audio on a Slide

How can I go back to the same slide or repeat the audio on a
slide? When I choose a button action to go to a slide, the current
slide is not an option to select. There is no option to play audio
(except for somebody made the suggestion of putting an invisible
feedback prompt that plays audio when the button is clicked but
that doesn't quite do the trick).

Hi barleykins
If you simply need to repeat playback of a slide, duplicate
it. Then remove everything but the background image from the first
instance and time it to the smallest timeslice, which is .1
seconds. Then have your button simply point at the previous slide.
The end effect is that the slide repeats. You jump back for .1
seconds and re-enter the slide again.

Repeating Audio Button with Slide Persist

I'm creating a pictionary for Native American lanquages
designed for childen. I need to create slides with an image, an
audio button that will repeat the audio on multiple clicks and,
lastly, file navigation buttons. How do I get the button to repeat
the attached audio file and, second, keep the page from advancing
after the audio plays the first time on the first click? I'm
stumped. Thanks for any help!

How can I allow the user to pause the audio of a slide (and restart it) before continuing on to the

Most of my slides have a combination of test/graphics and voiceover. I would like to allow the user to pause, resume, and replay the audio of each slide. I know, as a learner, I sometimes need to go back and hear something again -- or pause until a distraction has passed.
How can I tie audio to a playbar or set of buttons? I know if it's video, it can be done. How do I give them control of the audio?
I am in Captivate 7. My files are .mp3 files.
Thanks - TL

You cannot add extra buttons to the playbar but you could add a Replay button to the slide and have this button execute a Standard Advanced action with a Jump to Slide action that points to the same slide you are currently on. This should effectively jump your user back to the beginning of the same slide.

What happens to the closed captions when you delete a video or audio from a slide? (Captivate 7)

This might be a silly question but ...
I have a presentation with audio voiceover on every slide and videos on some. I have entered closed captioning for all of them. This is a pretty time consuming job.
What happens if I run into a problem with a video or audio clip and need to replace it? If I delete that audio or video from the slide, what happens to all the closed captioning that you added to it? I'm assuming it's deleted when you delete it from the slide.
If I export the captions before deleting the audio/video file, can I then reimport them when I replace the audio/video file with a fixed version?
Thanks for any clarification.

Hi there,
You can have CC with Slide audio and Multi Slide video in Captivate.
If you will delete the slide audio or Multi slide Video, then CC will get disabled on that slide, but same CC text will retain there as Slide notes.
Now, once you will re insert the audio or multi slide video you can mark that slide notes as CC again, or can have new CC.
So, even after deleting the audio and multi slide video, CC will not be deleted.
check following section in Captivate:
Thanks.

Audio on last slide after quiz questions not playing

Captivate v5.5
I have a project with a question pool and a series of random questions
The random question slides are without audio.
After finishing the question pool the project closes with the final slide which does have some audio - which runs fine when I test the slide.
However when I test the whole project (F12) the audio on the last slide does not play.
The audio on the slides prior to the random question slides plays without any problem.
Any ideas please?
Noel

Anjaneai,
Thanks for the suggestion. But changing the question setting to infinite attempts will just allow the user to retry each question over and over until they get it correct. I want to give them one chance to answer each question for the entire quiz. Then, if they don't pass, they can try the entire quiz again.
I ended up finding a resolution, though. Based on one of the suggestions from this blog, I just shortened my slide time for each question to .5 sec (it was originally 3 sec). That seemed to do the trick!

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.

Audio in PDF slide show doesn't play. What can I do ?

I created a PDF slide show with MP3 audio (from Elements Organizer version 10.0). The PDF doesn't play the audio. What can I do ?

Hello Andaleeb,
thank you for getting back to me.
The slide show works fine, including sound, from within Organizer. It
also works fine when I export it as a video. Just PDF isn't working.
In the meantime, from various contributions in the forum, I gather that,
unfortunately, the Organizer (just like Lightroom) simply does not
support adding music to PDF slide shows. Apparently, there is a way to
do that using Acrobat Pro (only costs 640 Euros).
You may consider my question answered.
Regards,
Thomas

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.

OK , I have my instructional coaches creating power point presentation add audio to each slide with the presenter 10 add ins. I need these presentation converted into MP4 like you can do with adobe presenter video creator.

Love the Adobe products first. OK , I have my instructional coaches creating power point presentation add audio to each slide with the presenter 10 add ins. I need these presentation converted into MP4 like you can do with adobe presenter video creator.

If you import the PPT deck into Captivate it will not bring the audio from Presenter. But you can import it into Captivate after the slide deck has been imported. The audio files aren't necessarily named in a logical fashion in the source files for the presentation, so I would recommend that you publish the presentation locally and then find the 'data' folder in the published output and the audio files will be named in a way that you can infer the slide they are associated with. Not the simplest proceedure but it should be pretty painless.

Adobe Captivate CS6 importing audio to the slide, worked correctly for 50 PowerPoint slides and the stopped working how do I resolve?

Hi
I am working on a project as normal where I import a PowerPoint presentation to Captivate. Then record the audio to the slide or if need be import the audio to the slide. This has worked perfectly fine until today.
I went to the slide clicked on the option to import audio selected the audio and it imported to the library but not to the actual slide.
I tried doing this also from the menu bar.
Then I tried to drag and drop from the library with no luck.
I then deleted the audio file and tried the process over again.
Next I tried rebooting and starting over.
Still no luck. What are my other options? The file is a a mp3 that is 273 kb.
Thank you

I'm relieved (if a little frustrated!) that others have the same issues, it makes me feel at least it's not just me! :-)
I am running Windows 7 64 bit Intel quad core processor 8Gb RAM if that helps Jim?
Another quick test shows I have exactly the same issues as shooternz and Ann Bens above at 7 & 8 respectively. An audio only or audio/video clip from Bin to SM and I can add markers on the fly perfectly. Audio/video from the timeline to SM works just the same. Audio only from the timeline will not work however.
I tried linking a video clip to my audio clip to see if that would allow me to add markers then unlink and remove the video... but when I opened that in SM the add marker button was greyed out and the keyboard shortcut (M) didn't work either!
Curiouser and curiouser...

Audio Recording to Slide Freezes Captivate

I am hoping somebody can help me with this. I am a relatively new user to Captivate so I sure that I am missing something obvious.
I am running Captivate 5 on a Windows 7 machine and would like to record audio to a slide. I create a Blank Slide Project and go to Audio > Record To > Slide. Captivate freezes every time! Please help me to see what I am missing.
I have imported both Background and Slide audio and been able to edit it but I would like to record directly into my project.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

sorry I am having same issues and are getting no response

Repeated audio capture in midlets... a new audio everytime from user...

Hi guys can you help me in getting repeated audio capture in midlets... a new audio everytime from user...
just the part where
captureplayer,playbackplayer to null
recordcontrol=null.....
manager to realize captureplayer
recordcontrol.setstream ---->doesn't work for me.
Any ideas will be helpful

I assume you are wanting to hear the audio as you are importing and not that you have no audio once it is imported.
imovie 08 doesn't play audio while importing. While you are using tape (that imports in real time) imovie now imports from a variety of different types of camera such as AVCHD (which isn't imported at real time. Therefore it is no longer logical to playback audio on import.

CP4: Audio on some slides cutting out early

I have some slides where the audio stops a fraction of a second or so too early. That may not sound so bad, but it sends a signal I'm either a bad sound editor or don't know how to speak. How do you suppose I could address this? Add a second or so silent tail to each faulty clip? I recorded these files as .wavs using XP's Sound Recorder and imported them into Captivate, which has always worked dandy for me. What's even more strange is only some slides are affected.

Dan,
I came up with a goofy yet effective fix to this issue. While Cp4, the moody little monster it is, will let you continually add silence to the end of an audio clip for a few minutes at best, I can do the following until the cows come home:
Double-click the audio clip from the timeline, or open it up however you prefer.
Insert your playhead at the end of the clip.
Ensure your microphone is plugged in.
Click the Record button to add some ambient noise. A second or two should do the trick.
Highlight the sound you just recorded, not the entire waveform.
Click Adjust Volume.
Reduce the volume on this portion of the clip to 10% repeatedly until there is no sound at all.
Click OK.
Just as good as Insert Silence, but a bit more labor intensive.
Goofy junk like this makes me glad my shop just ordered some Cp 5.5 licenses.
