Adobe Presenter 6

Add audio files to a presentation

You can quickly add existing WAV or MP3 format audio files to a presentation. Simply import the files and use them as opening music, narration, instructions, or for any other purposes.

  1. In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT file).
  2. From the Adobe Presenter menu, select Import Audio.
  3. Select the slide to which you want to add the audio file.
  4. Click Browse and navigate to the audio file (WAV or MP3) you want to add to the slide.
  5. Select the audio file and click Open. (You can add multiple files. If you select more than one, the first audio file is added to the slide you selected in step 3, the next file to the slide immediately following, and so on.)

    Presenter adds the audio file to the selected slide. The name of the audio file appears in the File column, and the length of the audio file appears in the Time column.

    Note: You can add as many audio files as you want, but they cannot exceed more than 90 minutes of audio per slide in a presentation.
  6. (Optional) Select the Ignore Markers option to ignore any sound markers placed in the audio file.
  7. (Optional) Select the Compress option to reduce the size of the imported audio file. We recommend compressing audio files when possible. Audio files that are not compressed require significantly more storage space than compressed audio. However, if you have an audio file created with high-quality settings and you want to retain the quality level, consider leaving this option unselected. (Please note that selecting the Compress option will compress all audio in the presentation, not just imported audio. For example, if you use the record audio feature to record some voiceover narration for a slide, that audio file will also be compressed.)
