One of the great features that Adobe Presenter offers is the option to import audio that is previously recorded. All audio must be saved in WAV format before it is imported. There are several types of audio that you may want to import into your presentation.

• Audio files created through PowerPoint
• Audio files created outside of PowerPoint

Before you import your audio, be sure to save your file. To preserve your audio source files, it is important that you save your presentation using a different name than the original file. To do this, select Save As from the File menu and type in the new file name you wish to use. For our purposes, we have changed the name from “Presentation1" to "Presentation1_narrated." Once you have entered in your new name, click the Save button.

Once you have saved the file, choose Import Audio from the Breeze menu. A popup window for Importing Audio will appear.

Note: Be sure that you have the audio files you wish to import in the same folder as the presentation to better facilitate file backup.

Non-PowerPoint audio files

Outside of native PowerPoint recordings, you are also given the option to import any audio file in a WAV format. If you wish to import a single audio file and have it span multiple slides, please submit our help request form for assistance. The following are instructions for importing multiple files (one per slide).

Importing Multiple Non-PowerPoint audio files

A window will appear with a list of all the slides in the presentation. To associate an audio file to a slide, you must first double click the title of the slide you wish to add an audio file for.

This will open up a file browser window. Navigate to the audio files, and double click the file you wish to link to your slide.

Repeat this process until you have imported all the audio you wish to include in your presentation. You may also use the Import from Presentation feature if you have recorded your narration in PowerPoint for this presentation. The import window will indicate whether or not audio has been associated to each slide.

You may also use this process to change the audio source linked to a given slide. This procedure does not allow for the audio to be appended, cropped or otherwise edited, and will only permit one audio file to be linked to each slide. If you wish to use multiple audio files in one slide, you should combine them using an audio editing program such as Audacity.

Once you have completed choosing audio files for your presentation, select OK to begin importing. A pop up window will alert you when the file has completed importing. Select OK to close the window. You will now see a window asking you if you would like to remove the embedded audio from your presentation. Click Yes as this will only remove the file association and not delete the actual file, thus saving disk space and upload time to the Breeze server.
