How to sync audio with slides?

I am trying to sync a recorded conversation with keynote slides showing the conversation for the viewer to read along. How do I sync the two so the slides move in unison with the audio conversation?

Hello Rebecca,

the easiest way would be to export the conversation to iTunes, so that it will be available in the Media Browser.

In Keynote open the Inspector window and in the document tab (the leftmost tab) click "Audio".

From the Media Browser select your background audio and drop it into the Soundtrack well.

Set it to play once.


Now in Keynote go to the "Play"-menu and select "Record Slideshow"


Listen to your Soundtrack and advance the slides at the right moment. Your action will be recorded.


Then save your slideshow. Whenever you play it again the slides will be shown automatically as you recorded.


Regards

Léonie
