Recording Narration in UNLConnect Presenter
To record narration, you will need a microphone. A headset is recommended, but your computer's built-in microphone will probably work. To record an audio narrative for your presentation:
- Open your PowerPoint presentation.
- The Set Microphone Recording Level dialog box appears. Begin speaking at a normal, comfortable level into your microphone as you read your prepared text, or something similar. When Connect gets a feel for the levels you will be using, if they are appropriate, the Red Checking Input Level box will become a Green Input Level OK box.
- As your presentation begins, speak clearly and at a moderate pace. If you are using animations in your presentation, click the Next Animation button when you want the next event to occur. If you do not have animations, click the Next Slide button to move on to the next slide. When you reach the end of the slides, click the Stop Recording button and then click OK.
- Select View, then Slide Sorter from the menu bar. The amount of time devoted to each slide will be listed under each slide view.
Note: Narration can be edited later, using the Connect Audio Editing tool.
- From the Adobe Presenter menu at the top, select Record Audio…
- If you want to record only the current slide, check the Record/Play This Slide Only option. If you want to record several consecutive slides, or all slides, uncheck the Record/Play This Slide Only option. When you are ready to begin, click the Red Record button.
Re-Recording Voice Narration
- Display the slide you want to re-record narration for.
- On the Connect menu, click Record Audio.
- Check the box to Record/Play This Slide Only. If you want to re-record the entire presentation from the beginning, uncheck the Record/Play This Slide Only option, then click OK.
- When you are finished, click Stop Recording. Click OK.
