background music in Storyline
Hi everybody,
Is there any way to insert background music like in Presenter in Storyline?
Thank you
Hi everyone!
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 74, we've included important fixes and new features.
One of the new features we've included is:
- Create immersive experiences with continuous background audio that sets the tone and keeps learners engaged.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you have questions!
Hi Kristy,
Sorry to geek out on you and others. :)
The root directory is all the files/folders at the topmost level of a directory.
For example, when you publish a Storyline project and it creates and output folder. That folder is its root. The bg_music.wav file would go in that folder at the topmost level.
The story.html file is in the root directory. Another way to think of it is to ensure the music file and the story.html file can be seen in the same view.
This image of a typical output directory including HTML5 hopefully will help.
Woo-hoo - after 4 days of mucking around - I got it to work. Thank the pope I don't have to charge my time out!! THANK-YOU very much!
Now I need to try and figure out how to make the background music play quietly in the background so I can do a voiceover.....any ideas??
First thing that comes to mind is open your music in an audio editor like Audacity and turn the volume levels down and export.
Maybe even leave the volume up for a few seconds and then fade it to a lower volume just when narration starts.
