Would you be so kind as to send it again. bill Marshall Feldman wrote: Hi, I am trying to use Flash instead of interactive HTML, and I looked at Impress about a year ago and rejected it for this purpose. Impress simply did not support animations and sounds adequately. Instead, I've been using the method posted here: http://discussions.blackboard.com/jive4/thread.jspa?messageID=106419𙾳 . I think you could adopt it to Impress without too much trouble. If your ppt is already narrated, you should be able to find the sound files. (I think ppt narration uses one file per slide.) Then, instead of recording, use Audacity to edit the sound track. If you're not using Windoze, you'd have to find some other tools for the dynamic screen capture, combining/editing the sound and video, and transcoding. BTW, if Impress every got its act together for flash, html, and other conversions, it would immediately become a killer app since, to the best of my knowledge, no easy to use, affordable (free) interactive flash/html program exists.

I have agreed to do an on-line course this term and in order to prepare the on-line lectures I need to feed a narrated powerpoint lecture into a processor that converts it to interactive HTML. I have use Impress for all my presentations to date, but can't find a way to make a narrated presentation. Am I missing something, or do I have to use micro$soft's powerpoint ? -- Bill Drescher william {at} TechServSys {dot} com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
