I have 142 slides that I have restored and imported.  There is an audio tape that I also successfully transferred to a WAV file.  I now want to synchronize the narration on the audio to the slides.  The audio has "beeps" from the original production (1965) that cue the next slide.  I am willing to manually move to the next slide if I can edit it that way.  I am unable to find any answers in the knowledge base.  Any help here?  Thanks!

I figured it out.  It is tedious and there should be a better way.  In Storyline mode, I have to start each image with the sound running and time how long I want the image to show.  Then I change the duration.  Test.  Repeat as necessary.  And then do this for each of the 140 slides.  It will take me 2 days at this rate.  There should be a way I could synchronize with the "beep" on the tape by identifying it in the WAV file and "telling" the slide to change on each occurrence of that beep.

There is the Fit Video and Audio button, under Production, but that won't help in this case.  The time that you spend to do this production will seem somewhat insignificant, once you have successfully made the video, and everyone enjoys it.
