Ticker tape during presentation??

Hello all. I'm a newbie with iMac. I use it in an education context - our school's announcements are presented on a few flat screen VGAs in the school using Keynote. My question... is there a better program out there that will do the same thing (ie. presentation in slide and video format) that will also allow me to display the weather or a ticker tape at the bottom with other announcements???
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forums, turboprof.
You might check out the Revolution line of
multimedia authoring products. They're based on a
Hypercard-like foundation, and so should be much more
flexible than Keynote (although they may lack many of
Keynote's beautiful graphical niceties). You might
also check out iSh
ell, although it appears it is more geared to CD
multimedia.
Thank you. I guess what I'm looking for is the software tv companies use. (ie. CP24 in Toronto). I've looked at what you suggested and I don't think it will answer to our school's needs.

  • How can you create a TICKER TAPE in MUSE?

    I would like to have a ticker tape on my website which I am desiging in Adobe Muse. Is this possible and can someone explain how I can so this? Thanks

    Hi Melissa,
    At the moment, probably the easiest way to do this is using Edge Animate, or another tool, to animate the text in a loop, and then place that within Muse. There are a lot of tutorials online that can help you do that, like this one on Lynda.com. You can also find help over on the Edge Animate forums section if you find you need more assistance.
    Hope that helps

  • Ticker tape

    I have just been told to see if I can provide text that is like a Wall street ticker tape for a test sequence. Any ideas where I would begin with that one?

    In FCP, click on the Generator Button (the button with the "A" on it in the lower right corner of the Viewer) and from the drop down menu, choose Boris > Title Crawl.
    Edit that to the timeline (it will be empty) where you want your text crawl to take place, then double click on the clip you just edited to load it to the viewer. Click on the Controls Tab, then the "Title Crawl" button. This will bring up the pane where you can enter and stylize your text.
    When you have your text entered, click apply to have the text appear on the timeline. Depending on the horse power and complexity of the material the crawl is place on, you may have to render to see the effect play back in real time.
    You can use the other controls under the control tab to make other adjustments.

  • Ticker Tape text scroller...

    I am able to make a ticker-tape text scroll from right to left on my screen in PowerPoint,
    but it scrolls so fast it is impossible to read it! Can it be slowed down? Please reply. Thanks!

    Dear Meg St. Clair,
    Thanks for your reply! Very kind of you, and I appreciate.
    Actually, I'm working on an iMac using PowerPoint for Mac in MS Office for Mac. I have succeeded in creating a right-to-left "ticker tape" of text at the bottom of the screen, but there is no way to adjust/control the speed of "fly by," and it currently flies by so fast it is a blur--not very useful... The "ticker tape" function is so "basic" (it appears on almost every news channel here in Japan), that it amazes me it's not a standard animation feature on either PowerPoint or Keynote. H. Slovic

    you need to add these below variables
    ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/shared/product/11.2.0
    export ORACLE_HOME
    TNS_ADMIN=/var/opt/oracle
    export TNS_ADMIN
    PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
    export PATH
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    not the same as above as your DB client may have a different path
    and then restart the services

  • "choppy"  slide transition during presentation

    Whenever the slides in my presentation contain charts or graphs, the transition to that slide becomes "choppy" and slow. I press the spacebar to go to the next slide and it lags for about 10 seconds before going to that slide with graphs. Other times, when I use more dramatic transitions, it simply becomes "choppy". Why does it hang during presentation, and how can i fix it?
    *NEED HELP PLEASE*
    +Many Thanks+.

    Ok, try copying passing the chart through preview to change it from something that needs to be calculated on the fly to something that is JUST a chart. (First, be sure to save off your original presentation so that if you need to change some values, you can do that easily).
    With this backup presentation, select the chart, Copy, Open Preview, Do Command-N, Copy, then paste back into Keynote over the other chart. Delete the original chart and then try the presentation like that. If it works better, then just keep that as a separate "presenting" document, making updates as needed from your original.

  • Adding Flash ticker tape display of still photos

    This questions is really directed to "Old Toad" - I find your sample iWeb site extremely useful however I have a question. On your example of a flash ticker tape display you mention that the HTML was obtained from OVI.COM - I cannot find anything even remotely related on this site - HELP??

    Pat:
    First you need to create an account on OVI.com, upload the photos you want to a "channel". That's somewhat equivalent to an album in iPhoto. In that channel you click on share this channel and there will be code available for a ticker tap, a slideshow, etc. You copy that code and put it into an HTML Snippet on a page. Viewers who click on the ticker tape would normally be taken to your channel at the OVI.com site. To prevent that put a transparent shape over the ticker tape item.

  • I used the ticker tape mode to add subtitles to a clip. When playing it in the pc, the Subtitles are fine, however, when playing it on the tv, only the top half of the words are visible. Any idea why?

    I added subtitles to a movie clip using the ticker tape option. When viewing on the iMac, the words are visible, however, when playing it in the tv, only the top half of the words are visible. Does anyone know why?

    I would agree with Keith Barkley, it may be the TV Safe Area. You can see what spots might be blocked out or cut off by going to iDVD and opening the original DVD project, under the View Menu > Show TV Safe Area. If your title gets cut off by the cropping rectangle displayed, that may account for the cut-off.

  • ! help ! led-style ticker tape?

    I have not been able to find a led-style ticker tape that's not pay-for-use anywhere. And the one I found online doesn't seem to work when I tweak it. Can anyone help me?
    I'm looking for a ticker tape that I can set the background to a color, the text to another color, and preferably no border.
    If you can figure out something, I'd greatly appreciate it.

  • I downloaded Mountain Lion a few weeks ago and ever since, as I'm reading e-mail or anything actually, the screen shifts, like a nervous tick, and during that few seconds it's frozen.  Nothing responds. Can this be corrected?

    I downloaded Mountain Lion a few weeks ago.  Almost immediately I noticed that there was an issue.  Every few minutes the screen or page I have open, e-mail, Facebook etc. will start to "jiggle" side to side.  Like a nervous tick. During the few seconds it's doing that nothing else responds, it freezes my mouse etc.  I guess I was hoping it would go away!  Everything else is working just fine, and it never did this until I updated to Mountain Lion.  Can this be fixed?

    It is probably some incompatible 3rd party software.
    I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

  • Typing Information During Presentation (Interactive Presentation)

    I'm currently using Keynote '09 and had a question about a setting which I'm not sure exists or not. I am doing a presentation in a few days and part of it asks for input on ideas from the audience. Instead of writing down what they say on a nearby whiteboard, I thought it'd be most efficient to write it in Keynote while the presentation is happening. Basically making it an interactive presentation, instead of exiting out of the presentation, writing in things, and going back to playing the presentation from that slide. I was wondering if anyone knew of such a feature where typing during the presentation could be done, if at all possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    It can't be done in Keynote. Depending on how geeky you are Quartz Composer will do it but you'll need to get your head around it!

  • During presentations, Keynote slides are small. If exported to ppt, some photos are missing.

    During slideshow presentations, if I use Keynote the slides are small. If Keynote is exported to ppt, numerous photos, slides are missing. Can i embed photos in Keynote - would that resolve when exporting?

    I haven't seen this, but I don't do a lot of video exporting. My first guess would be that the files may be larger than the prior files... attempting to play at a higher bitrate and the PC is choking on them. Can you compare against a prior exported .mp4 file to determine if the bit rate is any different? Also, make sure that VLC hasn't been updated either.
