I have slides that have narration recorded on them. Some of the slides have narration had to be augmented and added in a separate sound file to the timeline. Is there any way to merge the two sound files so that one just follows the other, but not as separate sound files in the timeline?
Hi, Jennifer: If you wanted to truly merge the files (put one inside of the other), I'm thinking you'd need to do that in Audacity or some other audio program. But you can have two separate files on the timeline that overlap. Of course, you may need to go into the audio editor and do some cutting. Let me know if you need more help. --Daniel
One other possible option is to open soundfile ABC in the Storyline audio editor, go to the end of its timeline and import soundfile XYZ. That would append the new file to the old one.
Absolutely perfect Michael! I was successfully able to load one file into another using the Import sound file button. I just first had to export the file I wanted to merge from my timeline first and save it to my computer. Thank you so much!

Hi Jennifer,
I think the answer here is "no", but I use many sequential soundfiles on the Timeline, and it works just fine as a workaround/standard process.

I tried importing the second audio file but it replaced the first audio file. Therefore, this is not working in my case.
Hi Bushra, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊
I appreciate you chiming in with what you are experiencing.
I tested Michael's solution in the latest version of Storyline 360, Build 3.58.26627.0, and it works as expected.
You mention that your audio was replaced, so I'm curious if you moved the timeline marker/indicator to the end of the first audio clip?
