Audio dropouts during transitions
Recording a PowerPoint deck using an audio track set to "Play across slides." Everything seems fine during recording, but when the show is rendered to video the audio drops out during every transition except straight cuts. The transitions are important to the video effect I want. The workaround I came up with is cumbersome and bizarre: first, transfer the mp3 audio track to my phone; second, play the audio on the phone (for cueing and timing) while recording the PowerPoint presentation with no audio; third, render the PowerPoint recording to video; fourth, bring it up in a video editing program and add the track there. Surely there must be an easier way. Please tell me what it is.860Views0likes1CommentNarration Dropouts in Recorded PowerPoint
I am adding a narration while recording a PowerPoint show, using the version of PowerPoint in Office 365, which includes the very useful "Morph" transition. I narrate the deck in real time, changing slides as I go, then export to .mp4. The problem is that I often speak over slide transitions, and whenever the transition is anything but a straight cut, the narration audio drops out for the duration of the transition, then fades back in. This is obviously unacceptable. I have a background in film and video production and am a reasonably accomplished speaker. Having to build in an artificial pause at every slide change completely interrupts the flow of the narration, and often negates the value of the visual transition. Is there a fix for this?751Views1like0Comments
