Presentation with Voice Annotation

To all:
I am about to embark on a project of creating an extensive slide presentation with voice narration. I've used PPT before with good results but without sound. I would like to be able to do my new project in Keynote 3 but I'm not sure how to best handle the addition of voice narration.
I believe there is a way to embed sound with powerpoint and then save out to a QT movie. Keynote has a way of recording sound for each slide but I'm not sure how to best do this and whether or not the sound will carry over. All comments are appreciated.
Sincerely,
Howard
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I've used both Powerpoint and Keynote for this, and both work, but I find that Keynote is easier to use. I teach college anthropology courses, and this basically is how I make my lectures each week for my online class. I use Amadeus II to record the sound files as Mp3s and name each sound file designating which slide they go with (chap1-1.mp3, chap1-2.mp3, etc). GarageBand would work, but Amadeus has a simpler interface. In PowerPoint you have to use a series of menu options to add the sound file to the slide, in Keynote just drag-and-drop the sound files onto the slides. Once the sound files are in place, go to File>Export and choose "Self-Playing Movie" from the drop down menu. Set a slide duration and build length of 1... this means that once the sound file finishes, the slide will change after 1 second. If you leave the slide duration at 5 (the default), there will be a 5 second gap between the end of the sound file and the slide advancing. The Interactive Movie option means the viewer would have to advance the slide once the sound file is finished, rather than the slides automatically advancing at the end of the sound. Change the video format settings in the "custom" area of the "Formats" drop down menu. I use 600 x 450 pixels, and since my slides are text only, I use 1 frame per second. Once everything is set, click "export". The process of creating the movie file will take a while (30 minutes or more, depending on your computer, the length of the movie and the settings you chose) Be aware that this QT file can be very large. A 25-30 slide presentation with a voice-over that runs 20-25 minutes can be over 200 megabytes, depending on what size you set for the video and the framerate. To reduce the size to something that can be posted on the web or sent through the mail I use QuickTime Pro to re-save the movie using some of the more thorough compression options.
I hope this helps-

Can I add a PowerPoint presentation with voice narration to my iTunes video folder

I have a PowerPoint file with voice narrative in .pptx format. It is 764MB file size.
Is there a was to export it to movie format (.mov) and place it in my iTunes Video folder?
Or is there another way to get my .pptx PowerPoint file into my iTunes movie/video folder?

Hi
Please describe How You go from PPT to iDVD. Via iMovie ?
If so - then convert Your .wma file to .aiff (same kHz) and use this in iMovie instead. (no .mp3 either)

Controlling flash presentation with voice over and animation

Hi everyone,
I have a project coming up where I will have voice over to
explain some animation that will appear on stage. It is basically a
explanation of what a company does, services they offer...etc.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to start
something like this? So that my final project has a prev, next,
stop, play, pause buttons and all of these affect the animations
and voice overs. I suggested to make this on video and bring it
into flash using a video player, but they want it to be into a
single SWF to put on their website.
Any help would be great!
Thank you,
Rafa.

kglad,
That is what I ended up doing after posting. I made a little
demo for my client showing him how well it was running as an FLV
and mentioned the possibility of losing sync if we went the other
way.
They were not to impress with the default player controls
that come with flash. Do you know of any good tutorials on building
custom controls (scrub bar, play/pause, prev, next...etc)?
thank you,
Rafa.

Virtualization software with voice over

Hello
I need to use Windows and Linux in my macBook.
I use VMware in Windows and VirtualBox in Linux.
I know we can use Parallelx, VMware fusion and virtualbox.
does anybody know which virtualization software for Leopard is accessible with Voice over?
thanks

To my knowledge, there aren't any emulators that work directly with voiceover. It's certainly possible for such a system to work, but it'd be a bit of a task to implement. At the moment though, vm fusion works well if you're interested in running dos/windows/linux, with the caveat that once the target os is loaded, you need to load a screen reader specifically for that os. I.E. windows xp requires jaws or equivalent screen reader. I've been trying to port dosemu to osx, but the tools to do just aren't present on osx, I.E. proper versions of gcc/header libraries and so on), so as of now, dosemu isn't an option, and nobody else seems to be working on it, because of all the commercial alternatives (paralels, vm fusion), and the free ones (dosbox, and so forth) Unfortunately for us, none of these options allow vo to act as a screen reader for the simulated oses, because none of them take vo into account with their design. So, the short of it is: if you want to run paralels or vm fusion, you'll need both a copy of the host os (windows xp, redhat linux, etc.) and you'll also need a screen reader for each os you're virtualizing (jaws, yasr, etc.) Hope this helps.

Can I create Ebooks with voice over and page transition with Creative Cloud? Which product?

I have created little kids e-booklets with voice over in Powerpoint that I'd like to sell online. What I am missing is the slide transition effect on mobile and pads.
Powerpoint only allows this function in a presentation/show format, but this doesn't work when I download the booklets on my phone. Does Adobe Creative Cloud offer this feature for my ebooks?
Best regards,
Ingrid Heyerdahl

Hi Tommy,
Yes, you can create a site in Muse and publish it to business catalyst. It will be in trial mode and your client will be able to view the site over the web.

Frank, yes, I can modify if it is necessary the datasource but, how can I say in the xxxx-jdbc.xml not to use JTA transactions when this data source is called inside a ejb 3.0 method?
I'm using Jdev11g and the integrated Web Logic Server.

I created a slide show in imovie for my daughters 21st with voice overs from friends and family which was all working fine but now the voice recordings are not playing at all. Obviously some setting has changed but I can't find which one.

I am doing a lot of presenting with the ipad and want an app that would bullseye or show where I am to my audience. Anyone know of something like this?

It sounds like either your hard drive or the SATA cable that connects it to the motherboard are failing. This could be heat related in your case, which is why you see it after it runs awhile. You can take it to the Genius Bar for a free evaluation. If you decide to test it yourself, I usually suggest moving the hard drive to an external enclosure. If it works there for awhile, the cable is probably the issue.

Problems with voice memo

Hey,
i've got a problem with voice memos. When i record them they are very quiet. It's something different when i record sound via video or use the headphones to record a voice memo. Then they have a normal volume. Any ideas?
Got an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.1
Thanks.

Do you have Include Voice Memos selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes? If so, this means the voice memos on your iPhone should have been transferred to your iTunes library on your computer. If these are available in your iTunes library, delete the voice memos from your iTunes library on your computer followed by a sync.

Iphone 5s black screen with Voice Over On

I turned on Voice Over on my iphone 5s and it started to repeat everything, so I had to punch 2 or 3 times some commands in order to go back and suddenly my screen blacked out. I have tried to restart the iPhone and can see the silver apple, but again I can hear the commands (I can still hear all the commands (Voice Over On, Screen Curtain On, 8:45, Screen Locked) but can’t see anything on the screen. Please help!

Hello promomap,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Voice Over. Try turning off the Screen Curtain by triple tapping the screen with three fingers.
Additionally, you can turn Voice Over off completely using these steps:
Press the home button three times quickly. This is also called "Triple-click Home".
If the VoiceOver feature still is on, you can navigate to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off here.
If it is too difficult to access those settings on your iPhone, you can turn VoiceOver off using iTunes:
Managing accessibility features using iTunes
Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to any computer with iTunes installed.
In iTunes, select your device.
From the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access in the Options section at the bottom.
Select the feature you would like to use and click OK.

When uploading my formatted resume to my Apple Jobs profile, I am always presented with a c:\fakepath message and the resume does not upload. How can I rectify this?

When uploading my formatted resume to my Apple Jobs profile, I am always presented with a c:\fakepath message and the resume does not upload. How can I rectify this?

Add this one to the list of thinks that don't work on the Apple Job Board. It looks like Apple is using ADP's VE (Virtual Edge) technology to run this system, and I've been stupified by the number of features that are just broken, or so poorly thought out by ADP as to be unusable, (certainly for webkit and mozilla browsers at least: I didn't bother checking IE.)
Here are a few highlights:
"My Job List", list of jobs applied for, seems to max out at three. You can apply for more than that, but you can only see the first three.
"Search Using Your Resume" feature yields few or no results, even when the pasted text contains only common, exactly matched words like 'Design' or 'Engineer'.
The missing resume upload, described in this thread.
"My Job Agent" seems to never flag anything, at least it hasn't ever for me despite pretty loose criteria.
Agent's created using "My Job Agent" eventually just disappear, which is fine because they don't seem to work.
When updating a profile, acknowledging the 'Terms' happens twice in a row.
Job seekers can only supply one cover letter despite being able apply for several jobs.
Pagination for search results only appears at the top of the page, so it's necessary to scroll down through each page, then up to the top again to proceed to the next page.
Well, I'm sure there are others, but you get the idea. I hope the Apple folks can fix this, (or twist ADP's arm to fix it,) so it better represents the quality of experience that Apple is so respected for consistently delivering.

The iWork Public Beta allowed me to share Keynote presentations with anyone via the web. How can I share a Keynote presentation online via iCloud? Must the presentation be downloaded to view?

The iWork Public Beta allowed me to share Keynote presentations with anyone via the web. Now Apple tells me the Public Beta is being replaced by iCloud. How can I share a Keynote presentation online via iCloud? Must the presentation be downloaded to view?

iCloud is not designed for sharing data with other people: you will need a third-party alternative such as DropBox or Sugarsync.

Can't play presentation with music

Hi:
I have Adobe Reader X (Spanish) and latest Flash Player installed.
In Edit - Preferences - Multimedia of Adobe Reader X, I set as default player "Adobe Flash Player" since I don't have Windows Media Player or Quick Time installed in my computer.
I'm trying to play a PDF presentation with sound. The same presentation but without sound runs OK. Slides changes fine in auto mode.
But when trying to play it (sound is a .mp3 audio sample) a Javascript windows appears saying "Adobe Error playing this multimedia clip".
A friend in another computer with also Adobe reader X can play the file OK. Sound is playing fine. But he has as default player Windows Media Player.
So maybe it's a wrog configuration of Adobe Reader or Flash Player?
How can I solve problem?
Best Regards
Gustavo

Hi Dave:
Thanks for your reply. It's very clear. But as I understand., Adobe Reader X has the built-in (embedded copy of) Flash Player, so nothing more is needed, and if I trust the document I want to open, by clicking the document message bar, and/or setting trust options, the legacy playback should be available, Yes?
But in my case doing the two options for trusting, javascript windows appears and presentation plays without sound.
In properties of the PDF file I want to run, only PDF Version 1.5 appears.
I'm just new in all these and maybe I'm asking silly things. Sorry about that.
Regards
Gustavo

Can you manually advance a Captivate slide presentation with a remote control and a projector.

I have published a large volument of PowerPoint presentations with Captivate 5.0 and intend to distribute the presentations to live instructors as a means to control content delivered live by instructors to the students. The files are aggregrated into groups of lessons and published to PDF with a Table of Contents.
We need to avoid manually advancing the show from the laptop.
Having difficulty determining how to use remote control via laptop and projector to advance the next slide or presentation. Can't get it to work. Was able to do so previously with PowerPoint slides converted to PDF shows. Remotes/Laser pointers worked fine. But now that I have processed the shows through Captivate 5.0 can seem to find a remote that will work with the new PDF or SWF with our systems.
We use a laptop and projection system, so need to be able to advance the show to the next "slide" manually and are trying to figure out how to do it with a remote control.
Has anyone else experienced this challenge and did you find a solution?.

Hi Carey,
if you can apply the letter "A" for "next" to your remote control?
Then you could add a shortcut to your buttons in the captivate file.
In deapth:
Go to a PPT importet slide (using the "click mouse" option to continue".
Click somewhere in the screen (clickbox_xx will be selected).
Properties - Action - Shortcut. Click it and press "A".
Click somewhere on the stage.
Now when you press your next button on the remote, Captivate will receive an "A" and continue to the next slide.
Hope this helps

Possible to view presentations with embedded clips on the ipad from an external wifi drive?

Hello,
first of all I am happy to have joined this community, my name is Chris from Germany.
I am wondering if this setting is possible:
I have bought an external wifi drive (Seagate Satellite Goflex) as well as the iPad4.
I am giving lectures (powerpoint and keynote presentations containing lots of embedded video clips).
Now I would like to show these presentations with my iPad connected to the Wifi drive.
You have to download a special Seagate App on the iPad to be able to see the data on the external wifi drive - I have managed to open the powerpoint files in the App (unfortunately keynote files are not supported by the Seagate App) but when I open them with keynote or goodreader the embedded media will always be removed.
Is this the end of the story or are there any solutions (i.e. with other hardware devices or software)?
Have a nice New Years Eve and thanks in advance,
Chris

yes and no ...
I have figured that out:
First of all: you can`t just view presentations on an external device without importing them into your iPad (at least when you plan to show slides with embedded clips) - goodreader, filebrowser, dropbox ... just show you "static" slides.
When you import a ppt-presentation into keynote all the hyperlinks, embedded clips ... are gone - no chance.
But ... in keynote you are able to "embed" video clips when you drag and drop them directly into the slide alowing "copy video into the document" as well (that is "vital") - the files are getting larger but you don`t have to add a clip when you transfer it to another device (i.e. the iPad) - they are "fixed" in the document..
Now seagate goflex has the problem that you just can`t open/view keynote presentations - but there is a solution:
hacksatellite firmware. When you install that you can go into keynote, activate WebDav, import a keynote file from the external drive, edit it and send it back to the external drive - so: import (can`t live without that), show or edit the presentation, copy it again to the external device and delete the presentation in the iPad (to save storage) is the way you can get the optimum from the iPad at the moment.
Correct me if there is any other more comfortable solution.
Thanks for your reply Daniel,
Christian
