adding narration to slides

[fishmaster2]

Okay I am a novice

but I can,t figure out what buttons to push to add my own voice narration to each slide

I have read that you push the sound button --I can,t see a sound button

Can somebody give me the easy steps to follow

Thanks

Simon,

Firstly you will need to record the voice-over. PTE does not support direct recording of sound. You will have to use some other technology to do that.

Once you have your "sound bites" as separate files you can then add them to the relevant slides using the "Add sound" icon (top right on upper toolbar).

The current published release of PTE (v6.04) does not support sound mixing so you will have no control over the level of sound of your voice-over compared to that of any background music that you are using.

The version of PTE that is currently in its beta programme (v6.5 available via this forum) does support soundmixing. However, speaking purely personally, I would recommend that you download Audacity sound editor software (its totally free and available here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net) and assemble your soundtrack outside of PTE and then simply add the soundtrack file via Project Options|Music.

regards,

Peter
