I have a Canon GL2 and a video encoder/server. We are going to use livestream.com or a similar service. I have a couple of questions. First, any suggestions for shooting a presentation screen? We will be in a classroom. I should be able to close blinds and just leave the normal lights on. I just do not want the screen to be washed out so that the audience will be able to see &amp; read it well. I need lighting suggestions all the way around, the presenter is very dark complected so I want to make sure the lighting is right so that it complements her as well as the screen. I'm sure I need other tips...Ive never done live streaming before! Thanks so much! :)</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/presentation-dvd#post-54314 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 04:24:22 +0000 SafetyMan 54314@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Someone above suggested PowerPoint Producer which works well, but Microsoft seems to have lost interest in, and can be a bit buggy.  I have recently started using Articulate Presenter and the Articulate suite which publishes everything in Flash and allows you to create looping presentations and customized presentations.  It may not be what you are looking for, but worth checking out.  <a href="http://www.articulate.com">http://www.articulate.com</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/presentation-dvd#post-54305 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:40:25 +0000 andyhui 54305@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>If[url=http://www.dvdshop88.com/en/tv-series-dvd-boxset/true-blood-seasons-1-2-dvd-boxset.html]True Blood Seasons 1-2[/url]  you're a fan of Charlene Harris' Southern Vampire series, you were probably a<br /> little disappointed by the first season's adaptation.

I always run my audio cables separately, out to a powered Samson speaker system with built-in amp. NOTE: When I do use two projectors (rarely) I only have/use ONE audio source as a rule.</p> <p>I run into the B&amp;W output situation sometimes but with my S-video cable and not my yellow RCA - the pins on the S-video plugs sometimes get knocked askew and the color part of the signal gets disrupted. I haven't experienced this with the yellow video out for RCA pin plug connections????</p> <p>Though I have used a dual projector system for showing two separate programs, that is a rare one for me. Usually I am splitting one program, from one output to two projectors for a double screen presentation of the same production. Unless, for whatever reason, the two productions are somehow "married" in content to compliment each other, it would seem distracting to show two different production content to the same audience - unless, of course, you're in a sports bar and the Lakers are playing the Bulls :-)</p> <p>What playback source are you linking your projectors from? I can't wrap my head around two projectors being used for a wedding montage projection of a single program. If you ARE using a single playback unit, and trying to get double output by connecting the S-Video from the unit to one projector, and the yellow RCA pin plug from the same unit to the other projector, many playback systems only provide a live out from one output source at a time, and that could be (if this is what you are doing) what is interfearing with your RCA out signal.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-link-2-dlp-projectors-for-presentation#post-47326 Thu, 28 May 2009 19:57:23 +0000 mfederico 47326@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Two questions: Can anyone tell me exactly how to connect 2 DLP projectors for dvd presentation (it's a montage for a wedding)?</p> <p>Also, I connected the 2 so far and one is projecting in color (it's connected via s-cable) ; the other one is a RCA yellow only, but projecting in black and white. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

I started with Camtasia, recording Powerpoint presentations, but the editing was limited and difficult, and I moved to Vegas. In Vegas, I drop images of the slides from the Powerpoint, video clips, and audio tracks. This has worked OK, and is a lot easier to edit.</p> <p>The problem is that I'm left with still, boring slides. I can't use any of the reveals (like line by line) or transitions in Powerpoint. I see some videos where they have very dynamic slides with all the animation (and then some). </p> <p>My question is this... what do they use to incorporate slides into their videos, to get professional-looking results without having to screen-record a Powerpoint? Would I use a titling package like Boris Graffiti, or something like AfterEffects? Any other ideas?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/slideshows-1#post-43643 Thu, 05 Feb 2009 06:11:43 +0000 birdcat 43643@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Digital Juice has a sub-division that does their cases for them - They also sell to the public and make a very good product.</p> <p>Try <a href="http://www.mixedmediadirect.com/">Mixed Media Direct (www.mixedmediadirect.com)</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/slideshows-1#post-43573 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 07:13:05 +0000 prism1326 43573@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've started to offer slideshows using ProShow Producer software from Photodex.  I'm looking for some very upscale DVD cases as I'm charging handsomly for these.  Any ideas?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/presentation-dvd#post-43170 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 11:40:54 +0000 BruceMol 43170@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>With a boot text file (and they're aren't 100% perfect) you can get most computers to open a file and begin playing it. So, for instance, if you had aPowerPoint pres that has all the links you referred to, and you saved it as a .pps, not a .ppt, and burned that and boot ext that says to open that .pps - you'd be set. There are plenty of examples of boot texts on the internet.</p> <p>If you were thinking you'd like a movie of your slides - the powerpoint conversion you referred to - I use Camtasia to capture ppt, edit and add audio and arrows, and then disperse on CD. Camtasia costs money though. A free Microsoft product called PowerPoint Producer allows you to covert your slideshow into streaming media. My experience with it is that it's easy to use, but it has Microsoft Bloat that makes it useful for for high speed internet, it is faster burned to a CD though.</p> <p>I've made slide shows in Premiere Pro, not ENCORE, and they come out really nice. I found ENCORE a little buggy in the slide show mode, maybe I didn't understand what ENCORE needed though.</p> <p>So I think you can use a lot of different software and all you need to do is decide what boot text to use.</p> <p>But if I'm wrong and you are more concerned about the software here are three links for examples of using Camtasia, PowerPoint Producer and Premiere Pro.</p> <p>You can see a PowerPoint saved in Camtasia example here <a href="http://www.bmidd.com/samples/iccv.php">http://www.bmidd.com/samples/iccv.php</a></p> <p>You can see an example of PowerPoint Producer here <a href="http://www.bmidd.com/samples/ppp/ttexcerpt_files/Default.htm">http://www.bmidd.com/samples/ppp/ttexcerpt_files/Default.htm</a></p> <p>You can see a sample of a PremPro slide show here <a href="http://www.bmidd.com/samples/wardrop/index.php">http://www.bmidd.com/samples/wardrop/index.php</a> - after the 18 second intro click slide show.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/presentation-dvd#post-43165 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 04:00:34 +0000 butterflyguy 43165@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Adobe Encore, which comes with Adobe Premiere, is pretty powerful DVD editing software.</p> <p>Unfortunately, you can't buy it separately.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/presentation-dvd#post-43162 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 22:40:53 +0000 kuma 43162@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi all! I need to create a presentation DVD, and am not sure what software would be best for this -</p> <p>It needs to be a disc that will load up automatically when inserted, has a root menu wil links to seperate files (pdfs, photos, other), and if possible, the software would allow for a fair bit of customisation - it sounds like there should be plenty out there - but I can't find anything quite right, only stuff that allows powerpoint presentation conversion etc. - not ideal. I would've thought even CD burning software tools would come packaged with something like this these days (e.g. NERO etc.)</p> <p>Any thoughts, much appreciated.</p>
