As you may know, background music is an excellent way to enhance the engagement of video demos and software simulations. SmartTutor not only allows you to use background music in recorded videos but also lets you add audio to any imported video or project. If your project contains multiple slides, there’s a good method to make the background music play across them. Let’s delve into how to add background music to videos or projects in SmartTutor 360.
Insert an Audio File to Project
you can add an audio file to your video or project by importing it from your computer, recording, or using text to speech feature. Now, do either of the following:
- Go to Insert tab on the Ribbon, choose Audio hybrid button to add an audio
- Drag and Drop an Audio file to canvas of project
Set Audio to Background music
In general, to set an audio track as background music, do the following:
Step 1 : Right-click the Audio object > Layer > Top Layer or Bottom Layer to make the background music play continuously across slides.
Both options create the same effect when the player controls for the audio are hidden. However, the layer where you place the audio object influences the stack order of the objects on a slide. To identify the object playing over multiple slides, check the icon next to the object’s name in the Timeline pane.
Step 2: (Optional) In the Properties pane > Audio > Playback Options. Select Loop to make the track replay automatically when the playback is finished.
- Background Music: Make the track continue playing when the presentation is paused. For example, in an interactive presentation, background music still plays while the presentation pauses to wait for user input.
- Autoplay: Make the audio play automatically when the slide loads.
