37 Creating a Slidecast

38 What is a Slidecast? Slidecasting is a multimedia format from SlideShare Any slidedeck can be synced with an audio file. You need to upload slides to SlideShare. The audio file can be hosted anywhere on the web (or on slideshare.net)

39 Audio Hosting URL of a streamable mp3 file Audio file should be freely downloadable (without permissions or passwords) Audio is streamed from its location to play alongside slides If the file is unavailable the Slidecast will not play SlideShare will host voice-only audio files at no charge

40 Three Ways to Create a Slidecast Synchronize each slide with a point in the audio Most time consuming option Best for audience comprehension Divide audio equally between the slides Best for musical slideshows Choose the I'm feeling lazy option Audio is included with the slides There is no synchronization

41 What s Possible? Your presentation recorded with a portable recorder of phone A podcast interview with slides A basic music video presentation An advertising jingle with branding images A training overview

42 Put it all Together Step 1: Upload Presentation File Upload your.ppt,.pptx, or.pdf file to SlideShare Use an existing slideshow already uploaded Step 2: Upload Audio mp3 File Upload your audio file to a server or as a podcast Upload to SlideShare.net Step 3: Add Audio URL to Slideshow Go to Edit Slideshow>Edit Slidecast Enter the audio URL Wait for the synchronization tool to load

43 Put it all Together Step 4: Synchronize Slides & Audio The tool has three parts - Slide Selector, Synchronization Workspace & Audio Selector Click on the first slide. Adjust the blue end marker for first slide in the synchronization workspace as desired Click on slide 2 in the slide selector and adjust the blue end marker for slide 2 in the workspace. Repeat for all the slides You can use the Draggable Window in the audio selector to navigate the audio waveform

44 Put it all Together Step 5: Save & Publish Save your work frequently Only saves your work, doesn t show the Slidecast to others on the site Slidecast appears publicly once you click the Save & Publish button
