The file gets compressed, and the Compress Media window shows the amount of space saved. To make the presentation file smaller and more manageable for sharing, click Compress Media, and choose a type of compression, in terms of quality. This presentation file is over 8 megabytes. On the Info tab, under Properties, you'll see the file's size. To reduce file size in a presentation with embedded audio, save the presentation, and click the FILE tab. When we clicked Insert to insert the audio file, the file was embedded in the presentation, and that creates a large file size overall. The slides advance on their own, according to the timings, and the overall time fits with the music. The playing time for the slides should now be close to the 15 seconds for the music.įor good measure, let's click the SLIDE SHOW tab and make sure Use Timings is checked. I'll click the ANIMATIONS tab, Preview, so we can see it. I'll click the up arrow to 4 seconds, because the picture has a Fade animation. Now, 1 second per slide may seem too short, but note that the slides have a Fade transition applied too, and the transitions add to the total playing time.įor the last slide, I am going to increase the timing, though. So, each slide will play for 1 second and then advance. I'll click the up arrow to set the slide timing to 1.00 second. To set timings, click the TRANSITIONS tab, and under Advance Slide, check the After box. I'll set the slide timings with this in mind. When I point to the end of the playbar, a pop-up shows the clip's total time, 14.89, which is about 15 seconds. On Slide 1, I'll point to the audio icon to see the playbar. Now, I want the slides to advance automatically, timed to match the length of the music.įirst, let's see how long the music clip is. The music starts automatically and plays continuously, as I click, in the background of my slides. Let's click Slide Show to see how this plays. While that turns off Play in Background, all the settings that I want are still in place. I don't need the music to repeat, so I'll uncheck Loop until Stopped. Note that this applies the following settings: the Start setting switches from On Click to Automatically.Īnd these three options are now checked: Play Across Slides, Loop until Stopped, and Hide During Show. To set the music, so it plays in the background, on the PLAYBACK tab, I'll click Play in Background. It is selected, and the AUDIO TOOLS tabs are available. The file is placed in the middle of the slide. I'll select the music file, and click Insert. With the first slide displayed, I'll click INSERT, Audio, and Audio on My PC. I want to play music in the background of this slide show and time the slides to fit the music.
