I'm wondering about creating a presentation, actually for a church
service. This will have slides for song words etc in the usual way. But
part way through, it would be advantageous to have a live feed from a
video camera within the church, and to have the video from this appear
on-screen as part of the presentation.
Obviously one could stop/pause impress, switch to a different app and
show the live video, then switch back to impress for the rest of the
service, but this looks a very clumsy approach and I was hoping (vainly
perhaps?!) for something a little smoother.
Hope that's clearer! But I most strongly suspect I'm out of luck :-{
Got it. Interesting project/concept, I'll do some experimenting& see if
I can figure out a way to do this. What OS& version of OOo?
Choice of ubuntu 10.04/OOo 3.2 or XP/3.x. I'm sure any solution would be
highly OS-dependent.
....
OOo Impress has the ability to run a program, see:
<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Using_Movies_in_Impress_on_Linux_Without_Java>
So perhaps you can experiment with that.
Useful link, and so close.....
I can now run a video player (mplayer, incidently, seems to be an
appropriate one) from within Impress. I can set an event so clicking on,
say, some text, runs the macro. But what I simply cannot fathom is how
to trigger a macro when a particular slide transition occurs (so that
'next slide' effectively starts the video display).
Code given at
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=31312
provides a way to trigger something on /every/ slide change (not that I
can see yet how to run code when a document is loaded; I've been
hand-stepping with the debugger. Sort that one later :-) And the code
looks problematic anyway - fails when run with 'run macro' but runs when
single-stepped with the debugger. Oh well....).
Any ideas about triggering a given macro on a given slide change please??
Apologies if I'm making heavy weather of this!
TIA.
