Hoping to get some advice, we have a video of an hour long presentation and along with the presentation slides (in PowerPoint format). We would like to use Articulate to combine the audio from the MP4 file with the presentation slides. Then once the files are combined, we would then add a quiz at the end. I'm trying to figure out the best way to accomplish this.... Any suggestions?
Do you have Articulate 360 or limited to an older version of Storyline 3-
You don't need to extract the audio, you could insert the video and overlay slides. Personally, I'd extract the audio from the video. Here's one way to do it with Audacity.
If you're using Storyline, you could have a single slide with the entire audio or split the audio track to the separate slides from PPT.
Single slide:
Insert audio
Set cue points for each slide
Put PPT slides on separate layers. You can easily save the PPT slides as images from PPT and then insert the images into layers. You do lose any interactive/animated elements.
Add triggers to show layer X when timeline reaches cue point X
Multiple slides
Import PPT into Rise. That gives you all of the separate slides.
Split audio for the slides.
Insert audio at the slide level.
If you have Articulate Studio (which comes with Articulate 360), there's an easy way to import the single audio track and split it to the various slides. Then you can export the audio and you'll have the audio split up and titled by slide. Works really well.
Thank you! We have Articulate 360/Storyline 360. I appreciate the help. I'll get started on this....I was playing around in Replay but it just wasn't working as I had hoped. This sounds like what I needed!
