That was great!  I mean I emphasize with the struggle and clueless what might help was thinking hedge trimmer, but it was a good story

Thanks for sharing, glad it worked out.

Subject: [CCMag] SOLVED: [CCMag] PP conversion problem

I tried copying all the slides into a new PP presentation and reimporting the mp3 of the soundtrack. The squeal was gone, but God once again abandoned his love. :-/

 

So my final idea was to go back into Audacity and save the soundtrack as a WAV rather than mp3 and import that to PP. Sure enough, it did the trick. No squeal and it’s once again GOD’S awesome love, not just some generic awesome love.

 

I’m getting too old for this……………….

Subject: [CCMag] PP conversion problem

 

Me again with yet another problem…………….

I am putting together a video for our church web site that includes a large number of still photos. The vision I had for the video indicated that it would be best achieved by doing a PowerPoint presentation and then exporting to mp4. I have (through sheer stubbornness) overcome two problems thus far:

1.      I created a soundtrack in Audacity with which I was really pleased. Ditto for the graphics in PP. I then imported the audio into PP and recorded the timings for transitions and animations relative to the soundtrack. While synced at the beginning, audio and video wouldn’t stay in sync throughout. (It turns out this is a very common PP issue; it really isn’t a multimedia authoring tool.) I finally overcame this by a large number of tweaks and minor adjustments over a period of several days that, collectively, did the job.

2.      During the conversion process, it would routinely drop one word. The same word each time. My phrase “…learn about God’s awesome love for them” on several different conversions became “learn about awesome love for them.” It was downright demonic! LOL I solved that one by merely converting it over and over (a lengthy process) until it stopped doing it. Don’t you just LOVE technology?!

So now I’m dealing with a third problem in some ways similar to #2. This started after I solved numbers 1 & 2. At one point early in my intro music before the narration begins, there is about a quarter-second high pitched screech followed by a very brief drop in volume of about 75%. After that the rest of the video is fine. It’s not on my original mp3 track imported into PP. It’s not there when I play the presentation in PP. But it’s always there at the same point after each PP-to-mp4 conversion. I’ve tried to do the stubborn thing again and just wear it down J, but this far PP is winning!

Any thoughts?
