Hello Gurus,
I have a question about syncing audio in PowerPoint. Here is my situation.
I have some video from a conference where there were many presentations
given. I have stripped the audio from this video, and my client wants this
audio synced with the original PowerPoint presentations so that the slides
would transition properly when someone views the presentation.
So I saved the audio portions and noted the timecodes on when the slides
were changed. I have then put this single audio track into PPT and have
made the presentations where they transition as they are supposed to. This
track starts at the beginning and runs to the end of the slideshow.
This is fine, except now my client is wanting to be able to advance the
slide and the audio advance with it (i.e., they want to skip to slide 20 and
have the audio skip to there as well). Currently, if the slideshow is
advanced the audio just keeps on playing and they get out of sync. Now I am
thinking that I can create a WAV file for EACH slide and put that in for the
slide, but not only is that time consuming but I am afraid the presentation
would be choppy (at best) as I'm no sound engineer. Is there any way to
tell PowerPoint that if I am on slide 15 to go to whatever timecode I need?
Or do I need to bite the bullet and make a WAV file for each slide? (If so,
any good suggestions or programs that would allow me to pull out sections of
a WAV file)?
Another thought would be to export the presentations to video. How good
does this look, and how well does that work overall?
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
