When creating presentations, many users add melodies, songs, etc. to the presentation. The presentation on the user's computer is shown with sound, but there is no sound on other computers, so what's the reason?
The reason is that the "Insert" tab was used to insert the sound, and the paths to the sound file are registered, which are not on other computers.
Consider the option of how to insert sound into a presentation Microsoft office PowerPoint 2007 so that the sound plays on other computers as well.
1. Create a presentation and some slides (I created the simplest presentation).
2. Go to the tab " Animation"and in the field" transition sound select "" from the list.
3. In the window that opens, select the sound.
Important so that the sound file is in .wav format (If the file is in mp.3 format, it can be converted to wav format using the FormatFactory program).
4. Go to the second slide and in the field " transition sound"choose from the list" No sound" and press "".
5. We return to the first slide and in the field " transition sound"choose from the list" added sound".
Important, do not press the apply to all button, this transition sound should be only for the first slide.
6. Save the presentation do not press Esc when saving and check the functionality. After saving, the weight (volume) of the presentation should be much larger.
Important, for users with more early versions Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2000/XP/2003.
The sound is added in the menu item " slide show" - "slide change".
Sound accompaniment is important for any presentation. There are thousands of nuances, and you can talk about it for hours at separate lectures. Within the framework of the article will be considered various ways adding and adjusting audio files in PowerPoint presentation and ways to get the most out of it.
You can add an audio file to a slide as follows.
This completes the addition of audio. However, just inserting music is half the battle. After all, there must be a purpose for her, and that is exactly what should be done.
Sound setting for general background
To begin with, it is worth considering the work of sound as an audio accompaniment to a presentation.
When you select the added music, two new tabs appear at the top of the header, combined into a group "Working with sound". We don’t really need the first one, it allows you to change the visual style of the audio image - this very speaker. In professional presentations, the picture is not displayed on the slides, so it doesn’t really make sense to set it up here. Although, if necessary, you can dig here.
We are also interested in the tab "Playback". Several areas can be distinguished here.
- "View"- the very first area that includes only one button. It allows you to play the selected sound.
- "Bookmarks" have two buttons for adding and removing special anchors to the audio playback tape in order to be able to subsequently navigate the melody. During playback, the user will be able to control the sound in the presentation view mode, switching from one moment to another using a combination of hot keys:
Next bookmark - Alt + End;
Previous – Alt + Home.
- "Editing" allows you to cut individual parts from an audio file without any separate editors. This is useful, for example, in cases where the inserted song only needs to play a verse. It's all set up in separate window, which is called by the button "Sound Editing". Here you can also set the time intervals when the audio will fade or appear, lowering or raising the volume, respectively.
- "Sound Options" contains the basic parameters for audio: volume, how to use and settings for the start of playback.
- "Sound Design Styles" are two separate buttons that allow you to either leave the sound as it is inserted ( "Do not use style"), or automatically reformat it as background music ( "Play in background").
All changes here are applied and saved automatically.
Depends on the scope of the particular inserted audio. If it's just a background melody, then just press the button "Play in background". Manually it is configured like this:
- Checkboxes on the parameters "For all slides"(music will not stop when moving to the next slide), "Continuously"(the file will be played again at the end), "Hide on show" in area "Sound Options".
- There, in the graph "Start", choose "Automatically" so that the start of music does not require any special permission from the user, but starts immediately after the start of viewing.
It is important to note that audio with these settings will only play when the preview reaches the slide it is placed on. So, if you want to set music for the entire presentation, then you need to put such a sound on the very first slide.
If it is used for other purposes, then you can leave the beginning "On Click". This is especially useful when you want to synchronize any actions (for example, animation) on a slide with sound.
As for the other aspects, it is important to note two main points:
Sound settings for controls
The sound for the control buttons is configured completely differently.
It is important to note that given function only works with audio in .WAV format. Although you can choose to display all files there, other audio formats will not work, the system will simply give an error. So you need to prepare the files in advance.
In the end, I would like to add that inserting audio files also significantly increases the size (volume occupied by the document) of the presentation. It is important to consider this if any limiting factors are present.
The PowerPoint multimedia presentation tool offers a wide range of additional features. One of them is the background music for the presentation, which in many cases will be appropriate during the slide show. There are certain rules on how to insert and play it.
How to make musical accompaniment for a presentation
Before making a presentation with music, you must select the right tune. It is important to determine the line on which the background will help to perceive the speaker's information and not distract attention from it. A good option when music is used for a presentation without words, because the song will drown out or disturb the presenter. In order to add sound accompaniment, no need for additional extensions, all actions are performed through the PowerPoint settings panel.
Audio File Format
Sound accompaniment to the presentation, as a rule, is used in two formats - wav and mp3. The first one can be embedded directly into the report, if it does not exceed 100 KB, otherwise the background track is associated with the presentation, but is located in a different folder. If necessary, you can increase the allowable size of the media file up to 50,000 KB, but this will lead to an increase in the volume of the finished report. All other sound formats are always stored separately. After adding a track to the page, a speaker icon should appear, indicating that there is sound.
When creating a linked file, the program displays a link to its location on the computer, if after that the background is moved, the application will not be able to find it and start playing. Before inserting music into a presentation, it is recommended that you move the composition to the same folder where the report itself is located - then even if you change the location, PowerPoint will be able to use the sound track.
Another option to use the linked ringtone if the file is in the same folder as the report is to use the "Prepare for CD" option. This option allows you to copy all used add-ons to one folder or CD, updates links to them automatically. To transfer a report with a background from one computer to another, you must copy it with all associated files.
to one slide
- IN top menu find the "Structure" tab and the "Slides" item, click on it.
- Select on which page you want to insert the sound.
- Click the "Insert" tab, go to the sub-item "Media Clips" and click the arrow under the "Sound" button.
- Next, you need to do one of the following:
- click the "Sound from Clip Art" command, in the "Picture Collection" task pane, navigate to desired file and click on it to insert into the report;
- click "Sound from file", navigate to the storage folder, double click on the audio track.
After you have inserted the music into the presentation, a window will appear asking you to specify how the track will start playing. You can select either on click or automatically. In the second case, the sound will turn on immediately when you switch to a slide with it, provided that there are no other effects (animation, etc.). If they are present, the background will play at the end, after all other multimedia effects. In the first case, there will be a sound image (trigger) on the page, by clicking on which the track will start.
How to stretch music across multiple slides
In some cases, it is necessary to insert a media file on several slides at once, when viewing which it should sound. To do this, do the following:
- Find the Animation tab and select Animation Settings from the list.
- Click the arrow to the right of the desired sound file and click Effect Options.
- In the "Effect" tab, find the "Stop playback" item and click on the "After" option.
- Specify the number of pages that the background should play when displayed.
