I teach a birdsong class in Austin and use PP. I am interested in the opinions given here on how to import the playing spectrograms into PP more professionally, but I have generally gone with the low tech, no frills method of, just switching back and forth between PP to Audacity or Ravenlite. This allows me to play parts of the spectrogram or slow the calls down etc.

Andy,
Another good piece of Software for capturing the scrolling spectrogram out of Raven that I have had success with is called ScreenFlow. I have used SnapzPro in the past and I like ScreenFlow a lot better. The exported videos can be embedded in your PP project.

Playing the scrolling Spectrograms definitely makes a talk a lot more dynamic than listening to sounds while looking at a dark screen.
Good luck,

Hello NFCers,

I am preparing a talk about Recording NFCs to give to my local bird club in a few weeks. I don't have a lot of experience with Powerpoint but was wondering if anybody out there has incorporated spectrograms (for my purposes, generated through Ravenlite) into a powerpoint presentation?

My thinking at this point was to do a regular presentation with photos and some graphics with powerpoint, close that down and open and project Ravenlite on screen (with external speakers from laptop) to finish the talk with some NFC examples. Seemed the easiest way to go for my level of experience with computers and also I would especially like to be able to project the Ravenlite time scroll bar, thinking that will help my audience pinpoint when to expect the sound.

However, if its easy to incorporate a playable spectrogram directly into Powerpoint, that might work better and give a more logical flow to the presentation.

Anybody on the list dealt with this issue?

Thanks for any advice.
