Happy New Year!<br />

I have a look at <a href="www.xtranormal.com">www.xtranormal.com</a>, do you want to <b>design an animated presentation with presenter' s video and narration</b>? Such as this traning demo:<br />

You could add animations and transitions to the PowerPoint presentation, also record narration is very easy to use through PowerPoint, at the same time, it's easy to make the video and narration along with PowerPoint presenation if you convert your presentation to Flash and insert the video to the output Flash presentation. The demo above is created by <a href="http://www.sameshow.com/powerpoint-to-flash-pro.html#110"><b>PPT2Flash</b></a>, you also could choose other tools to help you, such as <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/presenter/">Adobe Presenter</a> and articulate presenter.

Oh boy, more toys! I'll have to play around with this one too. I have to admit though, I really like that the narrator using xtranormal isn't me. It kind of adds a weird feeling of life to it.<br />
<br />
What is really exciting to me is to see that all this stuff is out there. Given a few more years I think our lectures will look vastly different than they do today and I think that's a great thing!

I'm starting my next vid now so here's everything I'll have to do.<br />
<br />
1. Go through the ppt (which I already have made) and write the "script" for each slide. I just put it in the "notes" box at the bottom of the page.<br />
2. Set up each slide with automatic timing for both animations and slide transitions. I've found that 7 seconds per animation and 40 seconds per slide (assuming only text) leaves the least amount of edits needed.<br />

I'm starting my next vid now so here's everything I'll have to do.<br />
<br />

2. Set up each slide with automatic timing for both animations and slide transitions. I've found that 7 seconds per animation and 40 seconds per slide (assuming only text) leaves the least amount of edits needed.<br />
3. Use Wondershare PPT to Video to convert the powerpoint file into an avi.<br />
4. Use Xtranormal.com to create the narrator. For simplest use, don't bother with the green screen.<br />
5. Use the firefox plugin Download Helper to download the xtranormal file (you can use any FLV downloader, anything you'd use to save from youtube.)<br />
6. Use Pazera Free FLV to AVI to turn the xtranormal file into an avi.<br />
7. Use Adobe Premier or pinnacle studio to put the 2 video files (one from powerpoint, one from pazera) into one video using the picture-in-picture feature of either program.<br />
<br />
I know it seems complicated but really it is just a combination of three things I do all the time (rip from youtube, make ppts, and do video edits) with the xtranormal layer thrown on top.<br />
<br />
I've also thought of giving it a shot with a sub. The only thing I'd need to do is either A) assume the sub knows how to work a pause button or B) slow the transitions down. When I am running a presentation myself I can pace it as needed. The video format doesn't lend itself quite so easily to that. how about http://www.tvnima.c…tag:www.classroom20.com,2008-12-30:649749:Comment:2459322008-12-30T06:08:40.499ZAmberhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/Amber16

wow! I watched your work. that was very impressive. I would love to do something like that. I got lost in all the steps that you went through to create it. I am not sure that I have all the computer software that I would need. I could see this being a big help, as you said with the students that miss a lecture. you could even do this for a sub plan!

I am sure it takes a bunch of time.<br />
If you are able can you write out some more detailed directions of how you did this? I am going to have to try it.<br />
<br />
Again...Kuddos on your great work and efforts! That was fun to watch. tag:www.classroom20.com,2008-12-29:649749:Comment:2450542008-12-29T22:17:21.886ZIan Grove-Stephensenhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/yacapaca

That's exactly what I'm trying to do with xtranormal. Unfortunately, it looks like it only runs on XP or lower right now I'm running Vista. I'll give it a shot on one of my laptops at some point and see if it works better than my current multiprogram solution.<br />

So far, I've very happy with the results. I'll be posting the next section of my Reformation lecture today at some point. Again, I think this will help a ton with kids who miss my lectures but now I'm trying to figure out what else it…

It isn't built in to xtranormal, I use the same program I use to save videos from Youtube, which, for me, is the DownloadHelper plugin on Firefox.
