Choosing the right sound quality when saving your soundtracks means making a choice between playback sound quality and hard disk space.

Select "Preferences" from the Edit menu to select your sound quality.

Sound Quality

Sound effects are used to grab an audience's attention or to interject humor.  They are very short in duration.

Sound Effects

Use the same musical themes whenever certain visuals appear, such as your company logo.
This creates continuity and familiarity within your presentation, or between different presentations you give.

Logos

Music is used to create a mood, energy level or to get the audiences attention.

Be sure you know what mood you want to create and the level of energy you want to introduce before you choose a piece of music.

Choosing music

Use soundtracks to create smooth transitions between different segments of a presentation.

Transitions

Setting a mood

•To create an attention-getting opening.
