Captivate 5: normalizing audio for many files
I'm back again. I have a feeling I know what the answer is going to be and this will be another nail in the CP5 coffin.
So I have a whole pile of audio clips in a project library. Some were recorded within CP5, some were recorded elsewhere and imported (seems that you really need to have your sources as WAV files or things just get more complicated.) These files have varying audio levels on them and they need to be normalized.
Is there any way to normalize audio en-mass? I have 50+ clips and I am getting tired of 4 or 5 clicks for each file. I imagine I'm going to have to do this again in the future and this method of doing each file individually is for the birds!
If CP5 doesn't support this, is there a method of getting access to the audio files without exporting them and then re-importing them and having to drop them on every slide?
Compounding this problem is the fact that when you use audio 'across multiple slides' and want it 'continuous' (as in, you have a demo that was captured and it uses a dozen slides) your audio is SLICED INTO A MULTITUDE OF FILES! (That, right there, is shear idiocy and show laziness in the design: there's no reason the files couldn't have stayed intact as one file and used pointers within the slides to indicate which file and where in the file audio playback begins. Chopping the file and spreading it around is the cheap-n-easy way to do it but, it creates a huge headache later if you need to do any editing of any kind on these audio files!)
