Playing Soundtracks

Soundtracks can be long sound clips that
play during the entire show. You can play
a soundtrack by adding a long sound clip
to the first frame in your show. If the clip
is long enough, it will play during the
entire show. You can also play a
soundtrack by playing a CD track during
the show. If you initiate an audio CD track
with the first frame in your show, the
track can play during the entire show, or
until it reaches a slide with a sound clip
attached.
You can also create a soundtrack using the
Loop and Continue options in the Sound
fx dialog:
• The Loop control plays the sound clip
over and over again until the show
ends.
• The Continue control plays a sound
clip continuously, regardless of
whether or not the slide is displayed.
The clip plays until it encounters
another sound clip, or until it
encounters a slide with "Fade
Previous" selected.
• To gradually fade a long sound clip,
allowing for a smooth transition to
the sound clip attached to the next
frame, click the "Fade Previous"
option in the next frame.
