Audio Fade in and out
Is there a way to have audio fade in and out in Storyline? I find that the audio transition from slide to slide sounds kind of choppy without a fade.
Thanks,
Mandaly
Come on Storyline, your software is too cool not to have a features as simple as audio fade out built in - creating an extra few steps for us users!! Mart EllEn, Any update on this feature?
Hey all. I know the feature is not built in, but you can fade the audio out manually by using the audio editor. Select the time in the audio where you would like to start fading it out then highlight to the end and then reduce the volume by 10-15%. After that, select a second after the original time you chose and do it again. Keep doing this until you reach the end or you reach the desire level of audio you were looking for. It does take a little time, but it is very possible to achieve your goal using the audio editor.
Seriously - this is WAY past due, folks. It's such a simple thing to add in a fade in/out option in the audio editor.
Doing incremental increase/decrease of volume in the editor "works" but the result sound choppy and not very professional (not to mention time-consuming!).
Please Please PLEASE make this a thing!Adding to the list of people who want this feature.
Adding my vote to at least including fade selection in the Audio Editor. When I see threads like this that are several years old with the "We will add this as a feature request" and then years later we see "it is not yet on the roadmap" it gives me pause to just how seriously Articulate is taking these discussions.
Hi, Mandaly -- thanks so much for reaching out with your question! There are a number of threads on this topic that you may find useful:
Please let us know if any of the suggestions offered will work for you, or if you had something else in mind! :)
Hi Christie, Each of these articles suggests using a third party tool to fade audio. This is helpful but ideally Storyline would offer this function within the audio editor itself. Just wanted to pass along the suggestions. Thanks! Mary Ellen
Just to emphasize a point here - We would like to have the option of "Fade Audio" associated with a trigger ("When User clicks ..."), maybe even fade audio during a slide transition.
I want music on my title slide only and the audio transition to the next slide is way too abrupt.
Actually, you shouldn't even have to go to the trouble of creating a trigger. A simple right-click on the end of the audio and it should display fade out or fade in. That is how it works on most other applications I use. Everyone is right - now I have to load this audio into Camtasia to fade it and then put it back into Storyline.
I was able to fade out the audio in the editor using David's aforementioned manual technique. I had a similar issue as Julie, but it helped me to expand the audio by zooming in to about 500%, that way the section(s) I was editing was much more granular. That being said, would love a fade in/out feature in the audio editor, or the capability to manually manipulate the audio volume/video opacity linearly, like in Premier Pro.
