I'm lookong for the best way to synchronize video in presenter panel and powertpoint animation placed on a main window. Some users clamis that when put a dummy audio file (with silence) in to the slide and the lenght of this file is the same as an video the synchronization is good.
But I have a questions:
Do I have to put e.g. 4 minutes audio file (for 4 minutes video) or is it enough to put only a few seconds silence file and copy and paste a few times in audio editor in articulate?
I wouldn't necessarily do that. I think the simplest way to synchronize video with animations in PowerPoint is:
Do not use long video segments. The shorter the video, the better the synchronization.
Don't use fast animations. Fast animations need to be synched exactly and that is not really possible with Presenter panel video and animations in PowerPoint. Your best bet is to minimize the number of animations and the speed at which they appear. The simpler the animation sequence, the easier it will be to sync in a way that appears correct to the end-user.
Than for reply. My problem is that I have a long video - 9 min, and I have to find a way to synchronize it with na powerpoint animation and I'm looking for the best way. I can not use smaller video segment. :(

So' what I have to do?
Any help?
Hi Konrad - Adobe Flash has a time limit of around 8 1/2 minutes so your 9min video may not work correctly. Here's a general technote on using Flash with Articulate Studio: http://www.articulate.com/support/kb_article.php?product=ap9&id=eu4d0qnejei8
Can you share a sample of what you're trying to sync? Perhaps some creative workarounds exist that would help.
