Audio in Interactive Multimedia

Use sound effects, music and voiceovers easily in Opus Pro or Opus Creator simply by adding an action to play the sound. Control volume and different channels and synchronise other events easily.

Any object can play a sound and sounds can happen automatically using the On Show trigger, or use timelines to synchronise actions precisely.

Any sound or music can be restricted to a particular page or continue playing as the publication progresses - ideal for background music.

Opus can also play CD tracks and Midi files.
