Hi Friends...



I have this presentation, it runs some animations on each slide (plays an audio file) and then progresses to the next slide automatically.

I have, in the transition setting of each slide, the time for progressing set to something like 5 seconds.

When I run the presentation it works perfectly. The audio plays, and then when it finishes progresses to the next slide.

However, when I export to video, it progresses to the next slide after just a few seconds and cuts the audio short.

How can I overcome this and make sure that the video as well will play the entire audio without progressing to the next slide?

Thank You all

Susan

PS I make short presentations and distribute them to friends. I don't want them to have run them from PowerPoint. Just to click and run... I am starting to realize that the export to video in PP is not very smart. Any better ways to export to video

TIA

You could add an element that appears after the audio file.

- insert a rectangle (or whatever shape or element)
- make it invisible for slide show by dragging it out of the visible area of your slide
- animate the rectangle, e.g. add an 'Appear' animation >> make sure this animation happens after the audio file by setting it to 'After Previous'
- copy this to every slide

Hope this helps.
