Question

Captivate 6 - audio timing

I've created a captivate project with no audio and then recorded the audio stream separately.  The audio stream has been added to the project background and set to play once only but now I need to adjust the duration of the slides so that they are in sync.  I've been finding this incredibly difficult.  When previewing the project, any attempt to fast forward doesn't adjust the position of the audio track, it just restarts it.  Also, when working on a slide, the timeline pane doesn't show at what point in time the slide will play.  Is there any way to get round these defects?

Hi there

You need to work differently, It's never a good idea to record the narration as a single long stream and try to use it as Background. You are witnessing just one reason why that's a bad idea.

I'd start by removing the background and then click slide 1 and choose Audio > Import to > Slide. Then point at that long audio clip. Once you have done this, Captivate should offer a dialog asking you how you wish to deal with the longer audio. Choose the option that allows you to split it across slides. Once you do that, you should then see a dialog that allows you to adjust where each segment should split.

Cheers... Rick
