Import audio files and assign to slides during import

SlayBach Oct 2, 2014 1:21 PM

There must be a way if Articulate '09 can do this.....

I have exported 42 audio files into mp3 format using the Advanced Audio Management Panel in Captivate 6. I ran these through a tool to normalize the volumes (MP3gain).

I now want to go back to the original file, delete the old audio, and import and assign the new files to each slide without having to drag each one from the library to the individual slides.

How can I do this? (The Audio Management Panel would seem like the most likely way, but I only see an export, no import function.

Thanks in Advance.

Sorry,but your assumption that the simple fact some other software app is able to do something MUST therefore mean that Captivate can also do it is a flawed concept.

Your quickest solution IS to name each clip according to its slide and the drag them onto those slides.

OK - Captivate 3 did this automatically if you prefer I stick with the same company. Perhaps that was before Adobe bought the product however! And the issue I am facing with the dragging the audio one at a time is discussed in a different thread.

Hi there

Captivate 3 was certainly Adobe. But Captivate 3 is about as similar to Captivate 7 or 8 as a 2000 model vehicle is to a 2007. Things change. Captivate radically changed. Version 5 changed the playing field dramatically because Adobe re-wrote the application and the entire interface changed.

Cheers... Rick
