Combine video and slides

Hi Virginia!

Sounds like adding the video to your presenter panel while your slide show plays through might be a good option for you. Am I understanding what you'd like to do?

Hi Peter,

I was hoping to play the entire video while having each slide appear at the appropriate time.  From what I gather from your links, a video can only be contained on one slide--it cannot be played across multiple slides.  If so, that means I have to break the video into pieces and insert piece by piece on the slide that relates to that particular portion of the video.

Hi Virginia,

Thanks for clarifying It's not supported by Articulate, but you may be able to get your video to play continuously over multiple slides using this technique. 

Not sure if this is useful for you but if you have a copy, using Adobe Presenter is the easiest, fastest way to accomplish what you're looking to do. We constantly have to do what you described (creating modules from faculty .ppt presentations + video) and have found that it's the best tool for this job (but we prefer Articulate for most other things Adobe Presenter also has the option of switching the sidebar panel to be on the right or the left. We modify that based on whatever direction the speaker is in relation to the screen that's displaying the slides so it kinda looks like the speaker (in sidebar video) is referencing the slides on the screen...

Thank you Shwetha for the additional info!  Makes a lot of sense about the right-facing/left-facing.

I was wanting to add a video of the course presenter to the storyline file, but I would like him to appear without the background, a little like the photographic characters in Storylines character bundle.

Ive tried editing in the video editing software that I use, but there doesnt seem to be an option to blank out the backtround.  I have seen this as an example in the articulate community..but cant locate it.

thanks
