Adding synchronized events to an audio object

You can add synchronized events directly from the work-area. This involves specifying the time, synchronized event name, action, and target for each synchronized event.

The Synchronize Events dialog also allows you to view the synchronized events within the audio object, edit synchronized events, and delete synchronized events.

To add a synchronized event to an audio object:

1. Do one of the following to select the appropriate audio object and open the Properties ribbon:

   • In the Title Explorer, double-click the graphic of the audio object.

   • In the Title Explorer, right-click the graphic of the audio object and select Properties.

   • In the work area, double-click the audio object.

   • In the work area, right-click the audio object and select Properties.

   The Properties ribbon is displayed.

2. Click Sync Events in the Playback Options group. The Synchronize Events window opens.

3. Use the Name field (on the left-side of the dialog box) to change the name of the media and use the Audio field to select a different media file, if necessary.

4. Use the Play/Pause button or the audio controller to control the playback of the audio object. At the appropriate time within the audio object, click Event. This adds an synchronized event to the synchronized events table.

   	•	You can adjust the timing and the synchronized event name and change the action and target associated with the synchronized event. For details, see Editing synchronized events of an audio object.
   	•	Edit the synchronized event names to references that are meaningful for you. Synchronized event names must be unique.

5. To specify the action and target associated with the synchronized event, select the synchronized event row and use the controls in the Action and Target box.

   For example, to launch a message, click Event to add the synchronized event to the synchronized event table. In the Action and Target box, select Display Message from the action drop-down list and use the Message box to specify the appropriate message.

The synchronized event is added to the synchronized events table.
