Next Steps
Now that you know how audio works in Storyline, it’s time to put those skills into practice. Here are some suggested activities to help you get started working with audio using the UsingAudio_PRACTICE.story file from the downloads:
- Practice 01: Check and verify your audio options are using the correct input and output devices by going to Insert > Audio > Options…
- Practice 02: Practice inserting external audio from your hard drive by inserting the “Preparing for the Review.mp3” file from your practice files.
- Practice 03: Record the audio on slide 3.1 using Storyline’s built-in audio recorder.
- Practice 04: Edit the audio on slide 4.1 First, delete the opening sentence “Welcome to Preparing for the Review!” Next, reduce the volume for the first breath and silence the second breath. Preview the audio file. Which method of reducing breaths do you prefer? Click Save & Close to exit the audio editor.
- Practice 05: Insert the “Preparing for the Review.mp3” audio file from Media Library. Assign triggers to each button to control when the media plays, pauses, and stops.
- Practice 06: Play the audio (press Spacebar or click the play button) and add cue points (press C) after each sentence. Align each of the chat boxes and next button to the cue points by dragging their start and end frames in the timeline. Apply the fade entrance and exit animations to the objects.
