Resolved Question

I'd like to convert an audio file to a video file.

by Jul 2, 2011 8:01AM PDT

I need to be able to upload audio files to You Tube, if possible. As far as I know You Tube accepts only video, not audio files. Thank you!

Thank you for your help. I appreciate it. However, I was looking for a free one! I'm sorry--. Can you blame me?

Thanks again--and if you happen to know of a free one, I would definitely appreciate it.

Best,

For your hunting, try PROSHOW GOLD ALTERNATIVES on google.

Thank you. I appreciate it again. Usually I'm scrupulous about including all the details. I must have been exhausted--which I have been lately. I'll check it out and let you know how it works out (unless you tell me not to. Ha ha--).

Audio To Video--No Go--.

I don't see how the below--or its 'alternatives'--can convert an audio file to a video file. Correct me if I am wrong, please. TY.

Old Means

There were plenty of "alternatives" to Proshow Gold. It's just that, as far as I could see, they offered no audio option (at least the few I looked at). Perhaps I was wrong. I have turned to an old solution, though. Now it's okay.
Thanks.

Just so you know how.
by r. proffitt Forum moderator Sep 10, 2011 2:11AM PDT

I noted it above. In ProShow Gold you pick one slide or image for the entire show and then add your audio track. Said image could blank.

Hope that clears it up.
Bob
