Sound Fade On Power Point
Anybody know how to fade sound out on a power point presentation?
I've attached a tune (or two) but only want it to run for a short while. Stopping it is obviously not a problem but the abrupt cut off is a tad disconcerting. Fade out is obviously the way to go but I can't work out how. Letting the tune run to the end over a number of slides is also piss poor and has no relevance to those slides.
HELP!

As a professional conference producer I agree that the audio tools in PowerPoint are non existant. If I needed to run audio during a PPT presentation, I would generally route the audio through a sound mixer so I can fade it when I want!
You're in a difficult position though. So, if you can estimate how long you need the clip to be, then the easiest way of dealing with the issue is to run the clip through a sound editor (there's usually one provided with your sound card) adding a fade at the appropriate point and then resaving the file.
Awkward, but not impossible!

Recording sounds to your presentation, open the ‘Insert menu’ and click ‘Record Sound’ requires you have the input device connected, either microphone or insert from a .Wav file then use the inbuilt sound mixer for your sound card and the controls in the dialog box to record the sound ‘AS YOU WANT IT’ then click OK, job done, takes a little practice to get the timing right but at least you see the slide or video real time as you go, or as has been suggested, arm yourself with a stop watch, time the fade’s you need and then edit and import the sound directly from the clip file.
