Transitions of less that one second increments

[Barb]

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.

Barb,

You can enter fractions of a second

e.g. 0.5 seconds

However powerpoint is not that great at being consistent....so getting something in time to the music is next door to
impossible.

We didn't loose her, we took care of her. Now when she has difficulties
with PowerPoint (unlikely at best) she'll come to us knowing that we give
excellent unbiased advice.
