Now I will tell you how to insert sound into PowerPoint presentation if you have the most difficult case where you need to play two songs, one after the other.

Also, this instruction is suitable for those who want to know how to make the music stop on a certain slide.

For most cases, the question of adding music to a slide show is quite simple:

1. click on the "Insert" tab, then select "Sound / Sound from file";

(Picture 1)

2. then select the sound icon on the presentation and you will see how several tabs “Working with sound: file and playback” will appear;

(Picture 2)

3. go to the playback tab and select the options you need;

(Figure 3)

3.1. I chose "For All Slides" to sound on all slides no matter how long I'm on which slide.

3.2. I checked the box next to “Continuous” so that it sounds until I indicate which slide to stop on.

3.3. And check the box to hide the icon.

4. You can also go to the "Animation" tab and turn on the display of the animation area.

(Figure 4)

4.1. In the animation area, you can further customize the playback.

4.2. On mouse click, or if the presentation is playing continuously, then after the previous or before the previous effect.

5. And of course, the problem is if there are two music files in the presentation that should play one after the other, or if we just stop the sound of the music at some point using the program.

5.1. Go to the "Animation" tab.

Using animation and sound in creating a presentation, you make it even more advantageous. Naturally, you need to concentrate on the semantic load, but beautiful decoration definitely won't hurt. All necessary sound files can be found on the Internet. There are even more than enough of them. How to insert them into ?

Instruction

On the toolbar, select the "Insert" menu item, then "Movies and Sound". You will see a window with the ability to insert a sound file. Select the desired audio track from the list and click OK. After the window closes, the program will prompt you to run the selected file automatically on boot. If you are satisfied with this, click the "Yes" button. In any other case, a direct command from the user will be required to start the music. This is done in the following way.

Open the Slide Show menu, then select Animation Settings. Highlight the name of the sound file you are interested in in the task area and make settings for it. To the right of the file you will see an arrow - click on it. A menu will appear in front of you, in which you can adjust the playback time of the audio file. You can insert animation to make it even more interesting. Its parameters are configured in the same window. By varying the settings, you can adjust the display order of multiple objects.

Sound accompaniment is important for any presentation. There are thousands of nuances, and you can talk about it for hours at separate lectures. Within the framework of the article will be considered various ways adding and customizing audio files to your PowerPoint presentation and ways to get the most out of it.

You can add an audio file to a slide as follows.


This completes the addition of audio. However, just inserting music is half the battle. After all, there must be a purpose for her, and that is exactly what should be done.

Sound setting for general background

To begin with, it is worth considering the work of sound as an audio accompaniment to a presentation.

When you select the added music, two new tabs appear at the top of the header, combined into a group "Working with sound". We don’t really need the first one, it allows you to change the visual style of the audio image - this very speaker. In professional presentations, the picture is not displayed on the slides, so it doesn’t really make sense to set it up here. Although, if necessary, you can dig here.

We are also interested in the tab "Playback". Several areas can be distinguished here.

  • "View"- the very first area that includes only one button. It allows you to play the selected sound.
  • "Bookmarks" have two buttons for adding and removing special anchors to the audio playback tape in order to be able to subsequently navigate the melody. During playback, the user will be able to control the sound in the presentation view mode, switching from one moment to another using a combination of hot keys:

    Next bookmark - Alt + End;

    Previous – Alt + Home.

  • "Editing" allows you to cut individual parts from an audio file without any separate editors. This is useful, for example, in cases where the inserted song only needs to play a verse. All this is configured in a separate window, which is called by the button "Sound Editing". Here you can also set the time intervals when the audio will fade or appear, lowering or raising the volume, respectively.
  • "Sound Options" contains the basic parameters for audio: volume, how to use and settings for the start of playback.
  • "Sound Design Styles" are two separate buttons that allow you to either leave the sound as it is inserted ( "Do not use style"), or automatically reformat it as background music ( "Play in background").

All changes here are applied and saved automatically.

Depends on the scope of the particular inserted audio. If it's just a background melody, then just press the button "Play in background". Manually it is configured like this:

  1. Checkboxes on the parameters "For all slides"(music will not stop when moving to the next slide), "Continuously"(the file will be played again at the end), "Hide on show" in area "Sound Options".
  2. There, in the graph "Start", choose "Automatically" so that the start of music does not require any special permission from the user, but starts immediately after the start of viewing.

It is important to note that audio with these settings will only play when the preview reaches the slide it is placed on. So, if you want to set music for the entire presentation, then you need to put such a sound on the very first slide.

If it is used for other purposes, then you can leave the beginning "On Click". This is especially useful when you want to synchronize any actions (for example, animation) on a slide with sound.

As for the other aspects, it is important to note two main points:


Sound settings for controls

The sound for the control buttons is configured completely differently.

It is important to note that this feature only works with .WAV audio. Although you can choose to display all files there, other audio formats will not work, the system will simply give an error. So you need to prepare the files in advance.

In the end, I would like to add that inserting audio files also significantly increases the size (volume occupied by the document) of the presentation. It is important to consider this if any limiting factors are present.

Thus, you can insert into your presentation not just one music file, but as many as you need and on the slides you see fit.
