I know I should know how to do this, but I can't find the right tutorial and it's driving me crazy so I thought I'd just ask how I trigger a layer to appear from a cue point on the base layer.
Also, my audio shows up on my base layer when I first insert it, but then after I used the audio editor, it just shows up as "recorded" and I can't see my actual audio input anymore, and it doesn't play the actual audio when I hit the play button on the timeline, it just moves.
Inserted audio will change to "recorded" when you target it with a trigger. It appears you've got a trigger to play the audio when the audio completes. As for the triggering it....
Add a shape to your slide and move it off screen. Adjust it on the timeline to where you want the audio to start playing.
Now, add a trigger that says play media (your audio file) when the timeline starts for that object.
That explains the "recorded" part, but I'm still not sure how to get a layer to show from the base timeline--do I use one of the objects on the new layer? Sorry to be so thick!

Hope this helps!

Frances,
Same concept. Trigger Show layer when timeline starts for that object that you've added offscreen.
