Music and transitions make a presentation more enjoyable and are very effective in a photo slideshow. This video shows how to import music and set it to play automatically with the slideshow. Then it shows how to set transitions.
- Welcome to PowerPoint Tips Weekly.…I'm Nick Brazzi.…This week is our second of a four part progression…showing techniques for building a photo slide show…in PowerPoint then exporting it as a video…that can be shared.…In this movie we'll add some music and transitions…to a basic photo slideshow that we created last week.…If you do not know how to build a slideshow…like I have here,…be sure to check out last week's PowerPoint tips.…First I want to insert our music.…I want to make sure that my first slide is selected,…then I'll go to the insert ribbon,…to the audio button.…
Click on that to open up this menu…and I'll choose audio on my PC.…If you're using MAC,…this option will be labeled audio from file.…I'll click on that…and I'll need to navigate to the file…that I want to insert.…I've got an audio file here,…I'll select it, choose insert and it drops this icon…right on my first slide which is visible in my presentation…but let's ignore that for now.…I can click here on this play button to preview that audio…so let's here it.…
