Hi there,

I created a short video with Snagit and recorded an audio with Audacity. Both have been imported to Captivate 2017. The problem is when it play the audio start right away and the video start only when you press the button play. So how can I make the audio start in the same time as the video?

Thanks for your help!

Hi, Julie

There are a lot of options when inserting video and/or audio into your project. It looks like you chose the "Event Video" option which produces the video playbar and that does not appear to be what you want. To give you more control over audio/video, try this:

Import the Snagit video as an MP4 into Captivate choosing the "Multi-slide synchronized Video" option instead of the Event option.  The phrase "multi-slide" is confusing because it also works even if you are only inserting into one slide. This option gives you more control over which video and/or audio clip plays in relation to each other.

In the Timeline screenshot below, I've set up a typical example. Notice how the Snagit_Video clip is set to begin at the :01 sec mark and the Audio-Clip.mp3 waveform is set to begin at the :03 sec mark. If you want them to both begin at the same time, you would simply adjust the Timeline video and audio clips to start when you want. It's all under your control.

Take a look at this topic in the online help for more info.
