Echo from mp3 imported and edited in Storyline 2

Wild Guess here, but if you are hearing the audio twice, there are probably two copies of it.

Otherwise, if you could attach your .story file here, somebody here could take a look at it, and maybe help.

Thanks

I saw a post that said that Storyline is not able to produce mp3 files.

Is that so?

Thanks
Trevor

Hi Trevor, 

I'm not sure what you mean about not being able to produce MP3s - as Storyline will allow you to export out an MP3, a WAV, or both as detailed here in this tutorial on editing audio. 

Hi Trevor!

Storyline supports the following file formats:

• AAC
• AIF
• AIFF
• M4A
• MP3
• OGG
• WAV
• WMA

You can read more in this tutorial about adding audio.

Do you experience the same issue if you add the audio in a new file? 

Walt is correct and it may be best to take a peek at your .story file.

Hi Trevor!

I'm not sure if you were trying to include an attachment here? Could you pop into the forums and take a look and utilize the 'Add Attachment' button if that's what you were doing.

Thanks Leslie

I actually got it sorted out.

Thanks for the insights Heroes and Heroines

Glad to hear that you were able to get it figured out Trevor. If it's something that may benefit the community or someone that may run across this thread, I encourage you to share.

I scrolled down to see the bottom of the slide and there was in fact 2
audio tracks. I deleted one and the echo was removed. The other tip that
helped a lot was recognizing that I had to treat the audio editing
separately in terms of saving from the Project. I am not happy with the
fact that there does not seem to be a save and continue option in the audio
editor. It is save and close.

Thanks for popping back in to share Trevor. I'm not understanding your comment about the audio editing. The audio editor window is up and you save/close that. Do you meant that it's not saving your project as well? You are welcome to share your thoughts with our product development team here.  

Hmmm

When I save and close the Audio Editor what is the quickest way to continue
the editing process? Sorry to be boring the experts but if I am typing a
Word document after having done my Save As I can simply Save and continue
without leaving the very spot that I was at. I did not seem to be able to
do that with the Audio Editor. I wanted to clip Save clip etc ...not Save
and Close. Enlighten my darkness!!!

Seriously, Word works so well at editing because it was designed for that purpose. The strengths of SL really lie in another realm. I appreciate that there are rudimentary audio, video, and graphic editing capabilities in SL. They are invaluable for quick, small touches, but for real editing, such as what you are describing, I always use a dedicated program designed for the job. Even Paint and MS Movie Maker do those things better, especially if you have numerous changes to make, or heavy lifting to do.

Understanding the strengths and limitations of the programs I use greatly improves my workflow.

I'm not sure what your editing process is Trevor and it sounds like you would just like the Save Audio and Save Project to be more integrated? You are welcome to share your thoughts with our product development team here.  

Perhaps someone in the community will be able to chime in and share what works best for them.

Correct Save audio without having to close is what is needed.

Thanks Trevor.
