Making A Slide Show

The following steps are used to prepare a Real Audio/Video Slide show:
 

• 1.  A tex file giving the problem and its solution is prepared using Scientific Notebook. The layout of the text is kept to about half of the width of the screen area in order to compensate for distortion when this text is imported into Power Point.

 

• 2.  The tex file is broken into "slide size pieces" and saved as a series of graphics file using  LView . LView allows one to capture portions of the computer screen as graphics files.

 

• 3.  Power Point is used to prepare the slide show. Each graphics file is imported as a slide and then narration is added to the slide show.

 

• 4. Real Presenter, a Real Player add on for Power Point, is then used to put the slide show into a format which will then run on the Real Player Server which is set up on Attila. It is interesting to note that the conversion from a Power Point slide show to Real Player format results in significant compression of the slide show.
