Import PowerPoint with Recorded Audio

Apr 22, 2014

Has anyone imported PowerPoint presentations with recorded audio on each slide?  Any issues?  Anything I should know before I give a go?

Can we edit the recording after it is imported?

Hi Barbara,

Please keep in mind that importing from PowerPoint is not a one-to-one conversion. 

If you're importing a PowerPoint file that includes Articulate Presenter resources (such as audio), be sure that the PPTA file is located in the same folder as the PowerPoint file.  Otherwise, Storyline will be able to import only the PowerPoint slides but not the corresponding Articulate Presenter resources. (Articulate Presenter does not need to be installed to import PowerPoint / Presenter content.)

Also, individual slide audio will be imported, but playlists will not as they are not supported within Storyline.  I realize you're working with narration audio, but I wanted to mention this just in case you have a playlist in your presentation. 

After you import to Storyline, you'll be able to make changes to the audio file, as you would with recorded or inserted audio files in a Storyline project. For more information, I'd recommend this tutorial

Please let us know if you have any trouble with this, or any questions.

Thanks! :)
