Re: Narration & Animation Timings

Hi Jerad,

You're right - It's 11.3.2. I pressed a wrong key. Sorry.

I followed your instructions. On my computer when I played the presentation
the timings were exactly as I recorded them. I could not reproduce the
problem.

You might be able to figure out my email address if you think about warmer
than warm being hot (hotmail). Go ahead and send an example to me.

Thanks.

Apparently after the update, PowerPoint is actually 11.3.2.

Anyway, I get the same results as before.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new presentation with 1 blank slide
2. Add three clip art graphics
3. Create custom animation settings for each graphic, each being set to
start on click & "very fast"
4. Record narration. Leave 6 to 10 second gaps between clicking to start
animation for a graphic. Save timings.
5. Playback

When I play back, the graphics end up appearing before I press the
spacebar (which you can hear on the recording). The slideshow also ends
before my recording finishes.

I tried to attach a demo file with no narration for folks to try,
apparently that's not allowed here. I can certainly email the file to
anyone that's interested.

Thanks for the help!

Hi Jerad,

If you're running 11.3.3 then at least you and I are running the same
version and can try out the same things to see what happens.

Try your presentation using 11.3.3 and see how it goes. If it is not doing
what you expect then post back. Me and other people who visit the newsgroup
can try to figure something out for you.

Hello, thank you for the reply.

I have tried this with 10.1.8 and 11.0.0. I am downloading the 11.3.3
update now and will test it out.

I also tried breaking the slides down so that each new animation that I
wanted to run was on it's own slide, but for some reason the the slides
started to run behind the narration. I plan on doing some more testing
today.

Can you recommend any specific I should try?

Thanks!

- Jerad

I'm attempting to record a narration to a powerpoint presentation and
then save it as a QuickTime movie.

The narration sounds great and the slides change when they are supposed
to, however the animations within each slide seem to run on their own.
The animations are set to start at "click", but some sort of internal
timer is being used instead.

I could only find one KB that seemed somewhat close:

This refers to bullet point animations, but I'm using graphics. Is it
the same problem? Am I going to have to rebuild the entire presentation
so that each individual animation starts on a new slide?

Thanks!
