Syncing Sound to Gettysburg PowerPoint

Using Windows Live Movie Maker

Save PowerPoint on your WS17### personal network file. We now need to convert the slides to JPEG’s for import into Movie

Maker.

Go to File >> Save As

Click create a NEW FOLDER tab.

Click in the new folder box that appears in file NAME list and

change name of new file to GA Video Pics >> then click OPEN.

Save as Type (Where it says Presentation, scroll through list to) JPEG File Interchange Format

Then click Save

When prompted choose Every Slide

Then when prompted click OK

Now you are ready to import JPEG’s

Click on START (lower left) >>Type Movie Maker in Search

Box >> Select Windows Live Movie Maker from Program

List

Windows Live Movie Maker will open and look like this.

To import JPEG’s

Select Add Videos and Photos from options in Home

Ribbon.

You will be taken to where you have stored files. Be sure you navigate back to the

folder you created for GA Video Pics. Then click on the file with your JPEGS.

Use shift and arrow keys to select all slides >> Click Open

Slides will appear in Movie Maker Collections window.

Now we are ready to import audio.

Select Add Music in the Home Ribbon. This will take you

to the files available.

Go to Common Drive >> Henderson >> GA Audio Files.

Select gettysburg-address-sw audio file

The audio file will appear above the images in a light green band. You can easily

sync the audio with the content of the slide.

First, set the audio to begin after 5 seconds (There is no

audio for the title slide). Click the green bar that contains

audio file so that your Music Tool Tab will appear at the top

of your screen. Then set Start Time at 5.00 seconds.

Next, take out a piece of paper to record how long it takes

Mr. Waterston to say the words that appear on your slides.

This will take some time and patience, but it will all pay off

when you set the time for each slide.

Tip: Set up Three Columns on your paper like this.

Use the Play and Stop buttons to determine duration. This

will help you set up a “rough cut” for duration, and you will

have to go back through add adjust timing once or twice

Once you have your “rough cut” for timing, click image of

slide 2 at the right to pull up Video Tools where you can

set the number of seconds the slide should play on screen

to match audio. Work your way through the remaining

slides. There will be no audio added for the credits

slides.

You may have to play and adjust slide duration several

times before you are happy with your product.

Save when absolutely finished as MOVIE FILE in your

WS17### file on the network. Name the file

GA Video FD.

This will take some time.

Once it has finished saving, you can open and view your

masterpiece!
