Converting audio and video

You can convert your audio objects to MP3 format and video objects to MP4 format. This allows you to alter the file size based on the compression setting you select when converting the object.

When you convert an audio or video object, all instances of the resource are changed throughout the project.

To convert an audio or video object in the project:

1. On the Tools ribbon, click the Resources graphic in the Manage group. The Resource Manager window opens.

2. Select the object and click Convert to MP3 (or Convert to MP4 for video objects). Alternatively, you can right-click on the object and select Convert to MP3 (or Convert to MP4 for video objects). The Convert window opens.

   The Convert buttons are only available for relevant file types.

3. Use the Compression Level slider to select a compression level. Higher compression levels will result in smaller files, but the quality of the media will deteriorate as compression increases.

4. Click Convert. When the conversion completes, the compression results are displayed and you are asked whether to use the new file.

5. Click Yes. Otherwise, click No to restore the file to its original type.

The object is converted.
