------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Nov 14 01:56:29 -0800 2006 ------- I often prepare multimedia presentations in Impress for open distance lectures where each slide has several animated objects appearing one at a time in sequence, each accompanied by an audio explanation/comment. In practice you can imagine an average presentation with 15-20 slides, each containing 4-5 animated objects, with a total of 70-80 mp3 audio clips linked to each object To arrange this, however, I have to set manually the delay for the appearance of each object, usually adding 1.5 seconds (to give the talk some pause) to the duration of the associated audio clip. This is a quite tiresome and error-prone process: you have to look at the duration of each clip, add 1.5 and write the value in the delay field of the object animation properties. A valuable addition would be an additional option to set how the animation starts: besides the existing "click of the mouse", "together with the previous" and "after the previous", it should say "at the end of the audio clip associated with the previous object". This way you could only specify the 1.5 seconds delay and avoid worrying about knowing and typing manually the duration of each audio clip. By the way, in OO2.x.x if you click with the mouse before the end of a clip, the next object is animated together with its audio clip, but the previuos audio clip will go on playing until its end, with the two voices mixing together becoming gibberish. At the extreme, if you click 3 or 4 times in a row, you have 4 voices mixing together! I think the behaviour of OO1.x.x was better in this respect, where at the click starting a new object/audioclip the playing of the previous one was stopped. In the same area, I would also like to humbly point out that Issue 51636 and Issue 54805 have not had any progress in 2.0.1,2,3 or 4. They are both Impress usability issues that make working at complex presentations annoying. Sorry for bothering.... Thanks for the attention. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
