In the case of deployment on the web, you want to have the best chance that the viewer will be able to see your presentation without downloading anything. Acrobat reader is everywhere. Is it possible to synchronize audio? I understand that you can embed a sound on a page, but a key feature for is the ability to have the slide transitions synched with an audio track, just like we used to do with tape decks and multiple projectors. You don't want a break in the audio whenever a slide changes. You've seen those Ken Burns documentary productions on PBS, where hoe shows old photographs, with background music and narration on top? That's what I'm after, but at a resolution that is high enough (at least 1024x768) to be projected with pleasing results. - --Jim - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Henry Ambrose" <henryambrose@home.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 11:43 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] The great slide show software search (long) > To play it just use > the arrow keys if you want to talk over it, hitting the appropriate key > as you talk or set it to "slide show" in the preferences menu and it'll > play for you.
