Why doesn't Narration Assistant have a fully automatic/interactive mode?

As I understand it, if I want to record a custom narration to my slides, I click on the first slide, bring up Narration Assistant, hit “Start Recording” button, start talking, when I’m ready to go to the next slide I hit “Continue to Next Slide” button, resume talking, and repeat until I’m finished. Next I have to change the timing of all the slides to “Continue At Audio Marker”. Finally I have to bring up the Audio Marker Assistant, start my narration, and then hit the “+” button at each slide transition.

Have I got that right or is there a fully automatic process?, shouldn’t there be something like …

Starting at the first slide, I bring up Narration Assistant and Start Recording. When I’m ready to begin the narration for the second slide, I hit Continue to Next Slide and FotoMagico is smart enough to place an audio marker right at the point in the recording where I hit Continue. Later I can use the Audi Marker Assistant to fine tune the placement of the audio markers. Easy Peasy!

What am I not understanding here?

OOOPs! My mistake! The way I described I wanted FM to work with Narration, is EXACLY how it does work. I missed the automatic inclusion of audio markers because; 1. I hadn’t changed the slides timing to “Continue At Audio Marker” (I had left them at “Interactive”, which is the setting I assumed would be appropriate), and 2. I failed to notice the placement of the automatic markers in Audio Marker Assistant because I had the Scale setting too zoomed in.

So yes - I’ve tested it and it works great. Thanks Boinx!!!
