MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2004Transitions of less that one second increments
I'd like to match my slide transitions to the beat of the music that I'm using, but I can't find a way to time the transitions in fractions of seconds. Is this possible? Whole seconds don't work. Thanks! Barb Hi Barb, You are using the wrong tool. PowerPoint is an excellent tool, to be sure, but not right for timing to the beat of the music. Timings that you set up do not hold absolute on you system or any other. A slower computer will have sync errors that get progressively worse, as will a faster computer. Instead, look at Windows Movie Maker 2. It will allow for this exacting level of consistent sync and the output can be inserted into PowerPoint (if this is the desired delivery media). Movies and PowerPoint are sometimes a little skittish, so also check the second link. **Windows Movie Maker 2 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx **The Myers Multimedia FAQ by Austin Myers (PowerPoint MVP) http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00099.htm  SignatureBill Dilworth, Microsoft PPT MVP =============== Please spend a few minutes checking vestprog2@ out www.pptfaq.com This link will yahoo. answer most of our questions, before com you think to ask them.
