Fading Audio

Jul 05, 2012

Hey All,

I need some advice and/or help. I imported auido (music) into a slide in Articulate. Music is playing while animation is running on the slide (I used the sync anmimations function to do this) . Once the animation is complete, I would like the music to fade out before slide transition. It really sounds bad (in my opinion) that the must just suddenly stops right before the slide transition. Anyone know if " sound fading" can be done in Articulate and if not what tools have you used to edit audio before importing into Articulate. I would like to song to fade into silience instead of suddenly stopping before advancing to the next slide.

Thanks for any help or advice in advance!

I'm in the process of engineering a crossfade function for Smartsound clips so that I can include dynamic scores which are timeline independent - part of the feature set for my Articulate Guru contest entry.

But to do that, I had to go completely away from the norm - adding audio through the timeline that is - and use the SoundManager library and lots of Javascript to control fade ins/outs and interim hit sounds (to help make a more dramatic crossfade).

You might also be able to go the easy route as long as the SL Player API has the volume function exposed through JS, I'm just not sure that it does.

Hope this helps,
Alex

I use Camtasia which is really easy to use, and yet offers some powerful editing features such has visually draggable fade in and out, noise removal, clip speed and volume equalizer tools, plus some free audio music tracks at add as background music etc

Any chance Articulate could add at least fade in and out as a feature request?
