Synchronize audio and animation timings
After previewing your presentation, you can edit the timing of PowerPoint animations to better synchronize with
added audio files. For example, if you have a slide with bulleted text items that fly in, you can adjust the timing so
that the audio track matches the action of the animated text.
Note:
The Sync Audio dialog box synchronizes PowerPoint “On mouse click” animations only. In contrast, timed
animations use the timing set in the Custom Animation dialog box in PowerPoint. Animations can only be synchro-
nized with audio files, not video files.
1
In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT or PPTX file).
2
Select Adobe Presenter
> Sync Audio. (PowerPoint 2007 users select Adobe Presenter

3
In the Sync Audio dialog box, click Previous or Next, if necessary, to navigate to the slide containing the timing
that you want to adjust.
4
Click Change Timings
to play the audio.
5
As the audio plays, click Next Animation to synchronize the timing of the first animation with the audio. Select
Next Animation again to synchronize the timing of the next animation. Repeat this step for all animations on the
slide.
6
When you are finished and the audio has stopped playing, click Play
to view the slide and animations with
the new timing. If you do not like the results, repeat steps 4 and 5 again.

Click OK.
Note:
Animations can only be synchronized with audio files, not video files.
Pause the presentation after an animation plays

tions play. This is useful for defining where the animation ends and the presentation begins again.

in the toolbar to start the presentation again after a pause.
