your projects. You can use audio as critical direction, emphasis, or background effect. In general,

sound can be as individual and flexible as any other project component.
Audio can be used in Adobe Captivate projects in a variety of ways. For example, you can do the
following:
following:
•
Add a background track that plays for the duration of the project.
•
Add sound to an individual slide.
•
Add sound to a specific object, such as a caption, click box, highlight box, or button.
•
Add closed captioning to any audio file. Closed captioning can be used for slide audio only.
•
Use all of the previous options in the same project.
Adobe Captivate lets you record your own audio files (using some simple equipment) or import
existing files. You can record audio files at the same time the project is recorded, or you can add
an audio file later. Imported files can be in WAV or MP3 format. (If you add a WAV file to a
project, Adobe Captivate automatically converts the WAV file to MP3 format.)

After audio has been added to a project, you can edit the audio and adjust the timing of objects to
fit the sound file precisely. Adobe Captivate also contains features that enable you to add silent
periods to audio files and to normalize audio for all slides so the sound level is consistent.
