Try adding audio as a step in the editing process, as opposed
to adding *narrative* audio during recording. For one thing, doing
a narrative while mousing through the recording process can be a
bit like patting your head while rubbing your tummy - an exercise
best saved for trick shots ... just my opinon ...
Plus, adding the audio voice-overs to the slides as a part of
the editing process gives you much greater control - including
*do-over* ability that you don't have during recording.
And finally, I realize that a lot of newcomers to the program
really like the marketing hype about saving time by adding
narrative while recording, but let's face it, you said yourself
that it *
has stopped our project in its tracks*, so it's not really
saving anyone any time is it?
Hope these thoughts are helpful ... best of luck!
