Adding Sound to a Slide
Add sound that plays when a slide appears and stops when you move to the next slide.
Here are ways to add sound to a slide:
m Drag a sound file from the Finder to a slide.
m Click Media in the toolbar, choose iTunes from the pop-up menu, select a playlist, and
then drag a file to the slide canvas or a media placeholder. (You can also drag a
playlist.)
You can more finely control when music starts and stops by using the Start Audio and
Stop Audio effects in the Build Inspector. For more information, see “Animating Slides
with Object Builds” on page 102.
