synchronization

[mwo_achenbach]

Hello!

I have a slideshow with 100 slides.

I would like to play 211s of music with the slides 35-42 and 154s of music with the slides 83-90.

Can I use synchronization (or timeline) to solve this problem? Or is it nessesary to calculate by myself?

Thanks for help.

Hi Manfred,

I think the easiest solution to this problem is to use a sound editor such as Audacity (free) or Adobe Audition (expensive but fabulous). What I do is first to attach a blank music file to the slide show so that I can open the timeline and see what the start and finish times of the relevant slide groups are. Then I use the sound editor to place the required pieces of music at the right time points. If you do not want any music with the other slide, just add some blank music. Then attach the final sound file to the PTE show and away you go.

Hope this helps.

If you do not want any music with the other slide, just add some blank music.

Just in case this confuses some, here's a technique I've found very useful.

In Audacity (or Audition), start a new file, add a period of silence, then save it as mp3. Hey presto - blank music.

I have a number of such files of different lengths. They are invaluable in judging the length of music that will be needed for a final show.
