An Audio clip can also
be
linked
to
a
particular slide, so
that if you move the
slide to a different
position, the audio clip
will move with it. This
can be extremely
useful if you need to
associate a sound
effect with an image.
To do so, simply click
on an image to
highlight it, then Right
Click on an audio clip
and from the popup
menu select Link Audio Clip. The correct slide number will automatically be
shown. The clip can still be moved left or right to the correct position within the
slide but will always remain linked to that slide. To unlink the clip simply right
click again and untick the ‘Link Audio Clip’ box.
The Project Options/Audio Tab has also been redesigned to give a cleaner
interface, with all audio options now directly available in one place. Double
Clicking on an audio Clip also displays these details. Audio clips can be linked
to a slide from this window by selecting the clip and entering the appropriate
slide number in the right hand panel. (See Track 2 in screen grab below.)
You can also now add Audio or record voice comments onto a slide which
will automatically be placed on their own track. By selecting a slide and then
clicking on the Add Audio speaker icon, (top right of the main window) you can
add a sound comment which will be linked to that slide. (See track 1 below).
Tracks can now
be converted to a
single MP3 file for
output, which will
reduce the size of
the .exe file. This
is useful if you
normally work with
.wav files or have
multiple MP3 files
in your sequence.
You can select
an output bitrate of
between 64 to
320. The default
value is 256.
