Long audio file for one PowerPoint Slide
Jul 22, 2011
I have a very long (some as long as 2 hours) telecast audio file that I am trying to have work with my Articulate Presentation. I only want to have one static PowerPoint slide for the duration of the presentation. When I publish the presentation I have issues with the audio slider at the bottom. First, the time shown is less than the full length of the audio file. And second, if I try to forward to a later part in the audio file there's just silence.
I have already changed the frames per second setting which helped a little, but did not solve the problem. How can I fix this?

Hi Nelinda and welcome to Heroes,
i would suggest breaking up your audio into several slides. The reason for this is that Flash supports a maximum of 16,000 frames. At 30 frames per second (which is the default setting in Articulate software), that translates to 8 minutes and 53 seconds.
The following Adobe support document provides additional information on Flash limits:

If you change the "frames per second" setting in Articulate Presenter to 15, then you should be able to record up to 17 minutes of narration for a single slide. Here's a quick guide:
15 fps >> 17:00
20 fps >> 13:20
30 fps >> 08:53
To change the "frames per second" setting for your presentation, please review the following article for your version of Presenter:
