====== Link or Add an Audio File to a Slide ======

==== Link an Audio File to a Slide ====

In Project Options you can add an Audio File/Clip to a Track and link it to a specific Slide Number.

{{ en-us:9.0:techniques:link-01.jpg?nolink |}}

  *The Audio Clip that you wish to link to a Slide should be added to a new track 
  *If it is added to an existing track containing other audio clips, it is added at the end of the last clip
  *In a track containing more than one Audio Clip and possibly a mixture of Linked and Non-Linked Audio Clips, it is not possible to Cross-fade a Linked Clip with either another Linked Clip or a Non-Linked Clip
  *To Cross-fade Linked Clips they must be added to Individual Tracks and the fader sliders (or the fade controls in Project Options/Audio) must be used

====In the Timeline====

  *Highlight a Slide
  *Right click on an Audio Clip and the option to "Link Audio Clip" to the selected Slide is available
  *The Audio Clip can then be positioned by dragging along the Timeline to the desired position
  *Linked Audio Clips which are in the same Track cannot be Crossfaded
