Slide presentation

Hopefully my last question for this project!
When I import a slide presentation from Keynote I want it to be manually advanced. I have all slides set to "on click." I have tried to export as an interactive QT as well as directly into iDVD. Both ways - once the show is imported and I play the show via iDVD either the first three slides get jumped through or sometimes just the first. Once it finishes this quick jumping the slideshow plays fine and advances simply on the clicks. I have switched the slides around and it doesn't matter what slides are there, it always jumps through the first or first three. When exported as an interactive slideshow the .mov plays fine as a stand alone. It is when imported into iDVD that the problem occurs.
Thanks again!

Brian Peat is the guy to ask about Keynote > iDVD (I don't use keynote). But let me know if this link/s helps or not:

Need help choosing Software for a Slide Presentation

I'd really appreciate some advice....I need to make a slide presentation with an audio soundtrack. There don't need to be any fancy special effects as the slides transition. A simple fade in & out is all I'm looking for. All I need is for some of the slides to show longer than others (maybe 6-8 secs. vs 3-4 secs. for the rest.) There are about 250-300 slides which I have in i-photo and the soundtrack will be 4 tracks I have in i-tunes. I need to be able to burn the presentation onto a DVD once it's assembled. Will the Keynote application in i-works do this or should I use something else?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thx in advance, Malco

Welcome to the discussion boards, malcoinc . It sounds like what you want to do would best be accomplished from within iPhoto itself, using its slideshow functionality -- I believe it has all the capabilities you are looking for, including sending the slideshow directly to iDVD once it is completed. I'd suggest reading the iPhoto documentation on this feature before considering moving to some other solution, as anything else is likely to be more complex.

Flash slide presentation

Hey hi
I am trying to make a slideshow/movie with the slide
presentation feature. I use flash cs3 on a mac, but I don't think
that matters ?
I have put all my photos I am using onto into individual
slides. I have set cue points.
When i test it, nothing happens. It doesnt go to the next
slide.
I am trying to redo the opening on
mogullife.com but with more photos
and a different song. I have done exactly what I want done on a
keynote presentation, but when I export it to flash, the
transitions will not work, so I am here.
Can someone please point me in the right direction? You can
message me on here or on ichat or on myspace or email or call or
snailmail. Anything. I really wanted to do this soon.
Thank you in advance for any help.

From your description, it sounds like you have each of these
5 screens
stacked one on top of the other, maybe each is in a different
layer,
maybe some other method.
It sounds like you are setting the alpha property of the
clips or the
individual elements to 0. If that's the case, then, yes, the
buttons
will remain active. If you change the visible property to
false, the
buttons will not be active.
Another method for showing this content would be to place
each screen's
content on a separate frame. So that you have only the
content that you
want on any given frame. Then you can navigate from frame to
frame
without concern for the other content.

Flash Slide Presentation Format vs Flash File

I mistakenly made a fairly robust animation (15 layers about 5 min long with sound) in a Flash Slide Presentation document. The entire animation sits in slide number 1 (no other slides in this doucument). I need to take this animation out of the Slide Presentation mode an put it into a regular flash file because other applications are reading the presentation holder slide and not reading the animation. Is there a way to get rid of the "Presentation (parent) holder slide or do I need to copy the whole thing to another document? If so how do I do that? Thanks in advance for your help,

shift-click and drag across all the frames of your animation to select all the frames, then right click and click copy. go to a new swf and right click on a frame and click paste.

Flash Slide presentation and movieclip looping

Hi,
Im having a problem with the flash slide presentation. I have
on the main timeline of one of my slides a movieclip. When i play
the movie, the clip will loop endlessley. I would like the movie
clip to play just once. In a regular flash movie this would not be
a problem - i could put a stop action on the last frame of the
movieclip. but, doing that in the context of a flash slide freezes
the movieclip at the begining so it does not play at all..
help!

Ok, Ive managed to solve item 2. - if you set in the slide
component inspector - "playHidden=false" then the slide animation
will restart any time you reenter the slide. Im still lacking an
understanding of how to stop a motion tween from repeating itself
when it's contained within a movie clip as a motion tween timeline
cannot recieve fram actions apparently...

Flash Slide Presentation...how to control volume?

Hello,
I am working in Flash Slide Presentation mode. I have a
started a sound file playing on the "master" slide and I want it to
play throughout my entire presentation. However, on a couple of
slides, I want to play some short voice clips. How can I "turn down
the volume" a bit on the main sound file so as to hear the short
voice clips? And then turn it back up when the voice clip ends?
I understand basic Actionscript. Can anyone tell me the code
or point me to a tutorial which I can use to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Ah, I was tying the (unavailable ) controller number and I didn't see the pitch controller option spelled out in plain sight!

Help with slide presentation

I'm looking for help in uploading a slide presentation to one
of my websites. I am using Dreamweaver and followed directions step
by step. When the presentation is viewed in the preview browser it
is beautiful - when I upload it to my site, all i get is empty
boxes with a little red X where the slides should be -
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or not doing right
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

You also need to be absolutely sure you have the name in the
code set to the EXACT name of the file on the server
On your local computer (at least for Windows) you may use
MyPic.jpg or MYPIC.JPG and the file will load... but those are two
different files on a server, so if your code says MYPIC.JPG but the
file is actually MyPic.jpg it will not load

Do you still have your Aperture Slideshow project? Then open the slideshow and select the one of the green audio file clips in the film strip that you want to replace. Press the "delete" key and drag another audio file from the Media Browser directly onto the slide, where the sound should start.

Slide Presentation Workflow Help

I need to put together a slide presentation and have not done this before.
Can anyone help with details regarding a workflow and other items?
1. For instance, can I gather up all my images in Aperture, move these in some manner that retains the resolution and put them in Keynote?
2. Is there a minimum resolution for images looking good for projection on a screen?
3. Is there a way to see this in some manner as an "actual size" or otherwise check this globally?
4. Is there a way to manually do a slideshow in Aperture instead of Keynote?
Any other technical help would be greatly appreciated.
I will be working on my MacPro where my Aperture Library resides but I will be presenting on the MacBookPro laptop.
Also, I am new to Mac.
Thanks,
Jon

Hi Neil.
The images are in all sorts of formats I would imagine. They are probably in psd, jpeg, tiff, png and other formats.
I was mentioning png because my understanding is that along with tiff it is a lossless format. This is good for saving images that you are editing (which I may do in this case). Perhaps I am mistaken here but this is the reason for the post.
The guy that is handling this is new in his job. So, I am trying to make sure I get this correct.
I am not sure about the question about a second macbook (perhaps I have confused you somewhere)? I have a MacPro (this is what I am working on because the APERTURE DATABASE) is on this computer. I may have to work on the presentation while on the road with the MacBookPro - but I definitely will have to give the presentation on the MacBookPro.
My assumption is that the issue here is two-fold. 1. If I need images before, during or after the presentation I will have to do some kind of access of the other images not in the presentation by booting off an external drive with the original Aperture Database. 2. As I will be (likely) both exporting the images out of Aperture /and/ transferring a Keynote (or Aperture) presentation file to another machine - I would like to know if there are any issues to be careful about. For instance, when saving to pdf for a manually forwarded presentation - one needs to check some Preference Setting to make sure that the presentation opens in full screen, otherwise it opens in preview mode.
1. Can you help with any of the above questions?
2. Is it necessary for me to bring my own connection?
3. Is it necessary for me to know the projectors aspect ration and if so for what reason?
4. Why do you suggest looking at the images on my screen to see if there is a difference between a 10 and a 12 setting? I have a 13" screen and this comparison seems like it would not hold up when projected over 30 feet or whatever.
Also, I don't understand your reference to "sooner or later the images are going to get cropped".
Have we determined that you cannot do a manually forwarded presentation in Aperture?
Thanks.
Jon

Quiz Score in Slide Presentation

Hi All,
I have prepared a short tutorial in slide presentation format
with 20 questions at the end, and I'm trying to get the quiz score
(using Flash with AICC tracking) displayed on the last slide but I
haven't been successful so far. I am using slide template in Flash
Professional 8, and I followed the instructions in Flash help menu
including copying all the required files onto my server, but I'm
still having problem with reporting the quiz score.. The only thing
I don't understand very well in the instruction found on the help
menu is "start the LMS system (or create the AICC Course Descriptor
Files) that references the frameset.htm file."
I would appreciate if anybody could provide me with
information on where to get help on this. Maybe there is a tutorial
somewhere I am not aware of.

What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on PC or DVD player using MacBook Pro?

What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on a PC or DVD player? I'm using a MacBook Pro since that's the computer that has all the photos (in an album) and music. Thanks.

I would suggest that you post this to the Adobe Encore>Menus & Buttons forum. What you want to do, if I read correctly, is pretty simple. There will probalby be links available to step you though it. I'll look for this there, and start gathering some links.
Good luck,

Starting a swf slide presentation at random slide

I have a swf slide presentation of 9 slides. I would like the
swf to start at the beginning of a randomly chosen slide. Any ideas
on how to do this? I saw some msgs here about starting at random
frames, but nothing pertaining to slides.
Thanks, John

You can import pictures into programs such as Photoshop and sharpen them or make other corrections but the results will depend on how much information remains in your photo. It is always better to work with the original image than to copy it out of a power point presentation. I am moving the discussion to the Photoshop forum in case you need more help.

CS3 bug? Copy and paste to Slide Presentation

Using CS3 in a standard AS2 Flash file,
When doing:
Select all;
Copy Frames;
Then pasting in a new empty Flash Slide Presentation, with
the exact same stage size, in Frame 1 of Slide 1using:
Paste Frames;
All of the newly pasted contents are offset, as if the center
is at the top left of the Stage. This
Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Slide presentation Vs. Timeline Document Based Development

Interested in all opinions or comments concerning experiences
with the limitations or extendability of Slide Presentation Vs.
Timeline Document development using actionscript 2.0 for the
purpose of Courseware/Presentation/Quiz development and
maintenance. Eager to hear all comments small or large.
Topics Points to include but not limited to: - Stability -
Range - Limitations - Preference - Experience - Pros - Cons -
Accuracy - Problems - Errors - Likes - Dislikes - Load Balancing -

I'm interested in this, too. (Thanks for bringing up the
topic!) My
guess, however, is that you won't see a flood of feedback.
The timeline
metaphor is deeply engrained in the Flash developer mindset.
Building a
slide presentation-based movie (the relatively new "screens
feature") just
doesn't feel like working in Flash. I don't think many people
use
screens -- though maybe it's too early to tell. I could be
completely off
base, of course, and I welcome friendly dissenters.
I think Macromedia was hoping to appeal to the Visual Studio
crowd with
screens. I'm curious to see how Adobe continues the idea. In
any case, at
present, there's a kind of ActionScript mini-framework that
gets added to
screens-based SWFs. This framework is what allows screens to
behave like
screens rather than timelines. It is important to realize,
however, that
all SWFs are, in the end, SWFs. The screens metaphor is no
more "real" than
the timeline metaphor is. Both are just user interfaces to
translate our
human instructions into something the Flash Player can
understand.
I don't much care for the fact that this framework adds 27KB
to a SWF
before anything else is even added. Start a new Slideshow
Presentation and
immediately test the SWF (Control > Test Movie). In the
resulting Flash
Player window, select View > Bandwidth Profiler to see how
much the SWF
weighs. Do the same with a normal Flash document and compare
the two.
To answer your specific bullet points:
- Stability
I have no opinion here, I'm afraid. I simply haven't
produced enough
screens-based SWFs to make a fair assessment.
- Range
Not sure what you mean, here. Are you asking if
screens-based SWFs can
be bigger, hold more content?
- Limitations
The end result in either case is a SWF, and a SWF is what it
is.
- Preference
I prefer the timeline metaphor because I've been using it
since Flash 3.
I use Flash for everything from applications to cartoons to
video, so in my
workflow, timelines makes more sense.
- Experience
Very little experience with screens (because I don't care
for them).
Plenty of experience with Flash in general.
- Pros
I would imagine -- and I can only imagine -- that some
people prefer the
"slides" format. To me, it feels like PowerPoint, which I
don't much care
for.
- Cons
The aforementioned extra SWF weight. 27KB isn't a deal
breaker, and
it's certainly less bulky than any of the v2 UI Components,
but ehh. For
what that's worth, I think it's a con. My programming skills
have matured
along with the phenomenal advances in ActionScript in recent
years. I
crossed a milestone back in Flash MX, I think, where Flash's
under-the-hood
mechanisms really started "clicking" with me. (To be sure,
the learning
process never ever stops ... I'm *still* learning, and things
are *still*
clicking for me, but I digress.) To me, the screens metaphor
introduces a
new (in my opinion, unnecessary) layer of abstraction to a
lean-but-powerful
environment I already know and love.
- Accuracy
Not sure what you mean here.
- Problems
I don't use screens often enough.
- Errors
Ditto.
- Likes
This is reflected in my views on Pros and Cons.
- Dislikes
Ditto.
- Load Balancing
Again, not sure what you mean.
- Customization
Good question!
- Coding Development/Programming
None of the programming books I've read even touch screens.
- Control
Control of what?

Flash 8 Slide presentation

Hello- I am using Flash 8 and a slide presnentation format. I
am creating a computer based training module. I have buttons
created that go back and forth through the slides of the whole
presentation. How do I disable one of those buttons on a specific
slide until a certain frame? Is it possible doing the slide
presentation?
I am also trying to figure out after the slide presentation
is gone through once, if the user decides to go back through the
slides, how do I make the slides replay? As of right now - they are
stopped on the last frame in the slide.
Thanks!

Hey there - here's an example Slide show file that reads the
current slides and uses a few different methods of sorting to
cahnge the order, just to give you an idea of how this could work.
examine the code on the rootSlide, actions layer:
