I'm looking for a solution to sync a 1 hr video to PPT
slides. I came across Presenter but I seems from what I can tell
only allows videos PER slide and not 1 video with cuepoints for all
slides. Is that correct? Can anyone recommend a solution that I can
use for this?
Hey. Thanks for the reply. that looks really interesting. I
foudn the EDIT VIDEO section of teh slide. but the EFFECTS, START
AFTER and TIME (sec) are greyed out. Am I missing something?
Also, what does THV mean in your other post. I did a HELP
search for it but didnt find anything. Is it really obvious and I'm
just missing it.
One other question. As I'm encoding my 1 hour video, I'm
thinking of how the presentation is going to load the same video
over and over again. Is Presenter smart enough to not load the same
video? And if not, how will it handle calling a 1 hour movie and as
I'm gettign towards the end of the video have to play from say 50
min into it.
If you would update the urls for each slide, then the browser
cache would take on the smartness part (in case the content is seen
from simple web server).
Although, things are a little different if the content is
uploaded to Connect. With Connect the video would be streamed and
hence every frame of the video would be fetched while viewing (even
if you rewind the same slide).
Thx catholicon. i'll give it a try. Do I have to add the
video to every slide (91 slides) or can I just edit the XML after I
do the first few. Presenter is really slow it will take me
forever.
Hmm. I see I can edit the XML to call the same files by
adding the <video> node, but it doesnt seem to be very
precise as it loads each slide. There are overlaps in words and
missing words even when the time codes are the same.
yeah, I agree precise control of time is a problem. But, that
problem exists because when flash player is asked to sync to a
particular time it actually picks up the closest keyframe to that
time and plays the movie from there.
The ideal solution would have been that Presenter had the
capability to edit/trim video internally and play the whole of it,
rather than just providing the time parameters which don't tend to
be so accurate at runtime.
BTW, higher the bitrate of encoding, greater are the chances
that you have dense keyframes. Thats still a guarantee but that
should reduce the overlapping of missing words.
Or maybe there is a way to insert keyframes into flv files. I
don't know any, but if you come across some, then please post it
here.
