Hi,
We have a large store of university lectures as separate PowerPoint
presentations and .mp3 audio recordings. We want to make synchronised media
presentations from them (slides, audio, transcript, navigation, video etc).
I have used Impatica OnCue and that has been OK but now I want to trial Adobe
Presenter (was Macromedia Breeze) and maybe a few others. Presenter requires
that the transcript (notes) and audio (narration) are attached to the PPT
presentation, but our audio is separate and therefore has to be cut up into
slide-length bits and attached to the PPT post-production.
Does anyone know if it is possible to do this?
Does anyone have other suggestions for SMIL-like rich media presentation
tools such as those I have mentioned above?
Thanks in advance, Gedrod

BTW,

I am aware that I can embed audio clips (insert Movies and Sounds) but this
isn't what I want, I need to attach the audio AS IF it was narrated onto the
slides..
Also I know about MS Porducer and it is OK but doesn't allow paragraph
synching on the scrolling HTML script file.

Cheers, Gedrod

Hi Gedrod,

have you tried Camtasia? It is a screen recording program which installs an
Add-in into PowerPoint, so that you can start recording from there. After
that you can take the recorded video and edit it in Camtasia and add the
sound there in the right places. You can produce the video in Flash and
various film formats. Information: www.techsmith.com

Best regards,
Ute
