Software Simulation... adding timed audio

Hi

I've recorded a software simulation (recording user steps to access and login to a particular programme and separate audio to narrate.

I'm edited my audio in Audition into small snippets and now trying to assign them to my slides in Captivate although it's very time consuming.... am I going about this in the right way or is there a much easier approach?

Any suggestions will be gratefully received!

Many thanks

Kim

    Need more details. I also record in Audition, the slide audio clips separately from the clips used as object audio or triggered by Play Audio. I suspect you talk only about Slide audio? Name the clips in a disciplined way (I use slide label for slide audio). Then I import all the clips to the Library. Starting with the first one, I drag it from the Library to the slide, use PgDown to go to the Next slide and repeat the action with the second clip etc.... Is that your workflow?

    Was this your workflow? I understand using Audition, makes it lot easier to have all clips set to same loudness, to use correcting filters Labeling everything in a good way is always essential. I would not recommend the roundtripping with Audition anymore, it leads to too much problems which I don't want to explain here.

    Synchronizing can be a pain, but with a software sim not  so much, only when you have a lot of staggered objects on the timeline.
