For me it has to be short commentary takes, because as you put the presentation together, you need the flexibility to slide the audio along the time line to match up with the visuals.
When recording short bits of commentary (a sentence or two), you’ll probably find that you’ll make less verbal mistakes. It’s also a lot easier to slot in a new bit of commentary when you realise you said something wrong, or you decide you can improve on what you originally recorded. It happens all the time.
The down side is when you have a need to use noise suppression in your audio. Now it has to be run on all the seperate audio clips, rather than one complete audio file.
For creative freedom, it’s seperate short takes for me and I’ve made a few of these types of recordings.
Thanks a lot Barry I really appreciate it.

While digital audio editing is easier than the analogue process, I would be doing the way you suggested. Working with smaller audio files makes the complete edit process easier IMHO.
Thanks a lot

Hi Brian,
You can do it that way, as long as you know you will have images to match what you are saying.
Some people do work that way & have the complete soundtrack before they even take any pictures.
I never know what I am doing until I have done it & build up a sequence as I go along.Different strokes for different folks.
Are you aware of the 'Record Voice' feature in PTE?
You may need to turn it on in Preferences.This way you can add some slides & talk about them & PTE will record your commentary & attach it to that Slide.
I find this a good way of getting initial thoughts down to give me an idea of timing.
Depending on the quality of the microphone attached to your computer it may not be the best quality, but it at least gives you an idea.
It also then helps you perfect your script so that you are not repeating yourself.
You can then make a better recording afterwards & just add as a new track to get the spacing, then delete the original comments.Hope this helps

Hi Jill,
Thank you for your reply.....I am using the images and text I used to explain the photography tour I was on with Colin Prior and shared on my Facebook page , so I have all the material.

Hi everyone,
I am about to create my first AV with running commentary throughout the presentation, It's for presenting to my camera club.
I was wondering if it's best to record the commentary in stages as It's based on a 5 day photography tour, and once I have all the files for the commentary then add the images to compliment the commentary.
If anyone has a better suggestion I would welcome any feedback.
Thanks in advance.
Brian.

Hi,

It doesn't automatically Loop, you have to drag the music in as many times as you need to repeat.
Just put one after the other on the Timeline.
It Loops in the sense that the ending will flow into the beginningJill
Ahh I see...got a longer one from the youtube link...

A lot of the tracks have a looping version, so you can repeat them.
Otherwise you can easily split the track in PTE and duplicate part of it to extend it.
Just carefully listen to the music and look at the waveform to find the best part to duplicate

I did download a loop one but won't do it on playback....?

If my AV is longer than the tracks here is there any way to extend the mp3 duration.
