ProShow Producer - How to add Audio to your show?



Adding audio to your show works almost the same way as adding images. Simply use the Folder List in the upper left corner of the Build Workspace and locate a folder where you store music.
Once you have opened a folder that contains music, you will see those icons appear in the File List. Pick the song you want to use in your show.

Once you’ve highlighted that music, drag and drop it into the Soundtrack Bar at the bottom of the workspace. The Soundtrack Bar is located just beneath the Slide List, and is labeled “Soundtrack”.


ProShow will begin importing the audio once you drag and drop it into place. This can take a few seconds or longer based on the length of the audio file.


Once it’s done, you’ll see a green waveform underneath your slides.
Try playing your show right now and you’ll hear music playing.  Getting audio into your shows is that simple.

Synchronizing Your Music

In almost all cases, your slideshow and music are going to be two different lengths.   In order to make your show and song end at the same time, we'll have to make some adjustments.
Using what you've already learned so far, you could change the times for each slide and transition.  That would work,  but it's not very efficient and can be time consuming.    Instead, let ProShow do the work for you by performing a Quick Sync.
At the very top of the workspace,  click on the Audio entry in the Menu Bar. In the menu that appears, choose the option that says Quick Sync – Entire Show


ProShow will now adjust the times of your slides so that your music and your slides end at the same time.
Use the scrollbar beneath the Slide List to scroll all the way to the end of the show. You will see the green waveform and the slides end at the same time.
