There are three parts to the Slidecasting synchronization tool:
1. Slide Selector: Select and navigate the slides here. You can see three slides at a time. Use this as a reference to sync the audio accordingly. You can also see which slide corresponds to which marked out section of the audio file, on synchronization.

2. Synchronization Workspace: This contains the audio associated with your presentation. The actual sync between slides and audio is done here, by moving the blue start and end bars and positioning them, as the red 'play' bar moves across the entire Synchronization Workspace.

3. Audio Selector: This is where you navigate across the entire audio using the drag window. The red 'play' bar moving across the Synchronization Workspace can be tracked using this window.

Now that you have identified the various sections of the tool, follow these steps to sync your Slidecast:

Is it possible to truncate an uploaded audio file (e.g. removing x seconds at the beginning or end)
I still don't understand.
You say it so simply and yet I'll bet many of us do not understand it.
Does the audio need to be playing when we drag the bar to the next slide?
When I did that I ran out of bottom window on the 6th slide.
is that when I should have dragged the draggable bottom window and to where?
Should we do all of the dragging while it's not running and then check the timing?
What do we do when the lowest window runs out?
Is that when we're supposed to drag the draggable window to allow us to keep editing the timong in the windows on top?
Do we drag the red bar to a certain point and then the very lowest bar to be able to keep doing it to the end?
I will offer myself as a guinea pig to help develop a more complete and understandable tutorial if that would help you not be bothered by us and help more people understand it better.
Thanks,
Rick
Is there alternative services for publishing slidecasts? It looks like slideshare doesn't support slidecasting any more. Synchronization tool is empty.
It did not give me enough marks to sync the rest of my slides. How do I get more marks for my last 4 slides?
