How can I make a background music play continuously across multiple slides/layers?
Hello all,
I want to insert a background music to multiple slides. These slides will automatically play without showing the "Previous""Next"button, so I wish the music track could continuously play through these slides without being cut off.
Is that possible to do that?
Or if not, is there a way to fade in/out the music at the beginning and end of each slide?
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!
Maybe you could use slide layers to create the effect of multiple slides, so when the timeline of 1 slide layer ends, you show another slide layer. The music could be on the base slide.
Norm is right you can do this so long as you don't hide your base layer
Here is an example for the option Norm suggested. This may look like a project with several slides but it is actually one slide with several layers. The (looped) audio file plays on the slide's baselayer.
That is amazing! Have you shared the source file anywhere? I would love to see the source file.
Hi Maggie! Looks like you are getting some great assistance here :)
Hello all,
Thanks so much for all the wonderful suggestions. Especially Norm. Sorry for my delayed response. I appreciate all the help I have been getting from the community!
No worries Maggie! Glad you are getting the assistance that you need here and thank you for popping in with an update.
Late to the thread here but I would like some assistance in having a music track play through out my 30 slides with no break in the music.....while I am following the solutions above, being a newbie I cannot make it happen.
Hi, George -- Thanks for reaching out and just to confirm, have you had a chance to take a look at this information on looping audio or video, by chance?
Hey...! its very easy! we have to call music externally.
