workaround for playing music continuously across multiple slides?
Mar 11, 2015
Hi, any advice on how to achieve the following? Imagine an infographic. I am using this as an introduction to a course, and have split it up into 8 slides, one per main point addressed in the infographic. There is a slide transition on each slide so it looks like it is panning across, down, across the infographic. I have a narration for each slide, but want a musical soundtrack behind it running smoothly. When I preview it, there is like a half second, but very noticeable, break in the music, for each slide.
Any advice on how to eliminate that audio break? I have attempted to put all images on one slide and moving them off and on with motion animation, but it's not as smooth. Maybe I just need to fine tune that option?
Am I missing something? Or am I attempting to do something that's not possible?
Appreciate your help!

Hello Nathan -- are you using a Playlist for the musical soundtrack? Seems to me that should work with no pause in the music during the transition between slides.

Hi Nathan,
The different options for splitting a single audio file across multiple slides is detailed here. You'll want to make sure you're using those steps to insert and split.
Hi Dave, PLAYLISTS! That's the answer. I hadn't used those before and did
the trick. Appreciate the helpful suggestion!

Good deal! Glad it worked out.

Thanks for the update Dave and I'm glad you were able to get it working!
Hey Dave,
What do you mean by Playlists? I am having the same problem that Nathan was having.
Hey Nathan,
I am having the same problem you were. What do you mean by Playlists? This would help me out a lot.
