Can you describe how to create a Slidecast step by step?

There are two ways to create a Slidecast:

  1. You can divide audio equally between the slides (default setting)
  2. You can synchronize each slide with a point in the audio file

Create a Slidecast by following the steps below:

Step 1: Upload your presentation file to SlideShare; or use an existing presentation

Step 2: Upload your audio file (mp3 format only) to SlideShare

Step 3: Synchronize slides and audio — here are the three ways to do this:

  • You can leave the audio unsynchronized
  • You can do a quick sync using the divide audio equally (suited to musical presentations)
  • Or you can sync each slide to a particular point in the audio file
  • Drag the selector window in the Audio Selector to navigate the audio waveform

Optional: use the Divide audio equally button to divide your audio file equally amongst all the slides.

To learn how to synchronize audio, please visit this FAQ.

 

Step 4: Save and Publish — Save your work frequently; this only saves your work, it does not show the Slidecast on the site. The Slidecast appears publicly only when you click the Save button and then the Publish button.

Did all this.  Now how do I find and play my piece?

 

Also, how does one record one's own accompamying narration?
