Slide narration

Jul 14, 2014

I imported a PowerPoint presentation into Storyline and my slide narrations are not working. The first couple slides have audio and after that nothing. Any idea why this might be happening?

Hi Christon and welcome to Heroes!

Had you set up the audio within Powerpoint/Presenter as a playlist or as individual slide audio? The playlists will not be imported into Storyline. . 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.)

You might want to check the file names of the project and audio. Are there any spaces or special characters in any of the file names? That could cause a problem. You'll also want to be sure that you're working from local files for both your Powerpoint and your Storyline file as described here.

Please let us know if you're able to check into those items and how it's behaving after that.
