Synchronizing Your Tutorial with SMIL
file—called “slides.rp”—is a RealPix file. The
contents of the RealPix file appears to the lower
right. RealPix is a lot like SMIL; it’s a mark-up
language that makes it easy to define transitions
like fade-outs and wipes between your images.
Notice that the RealPix file contains references
to three images, for a total of six visual media
files to be played with the audio file.
TIP: You may wish to create a skeletal
SMIL or RealPix file that sequences your
visual media without precise timing. Then
listen to your audio track, note the times at
which image transitions should occur and
modify the SMIL file accordingly.
Real Networks maintains excellent documen-
tation on producing multi-media presentations
with SMIL and RealPix. Refer to thier support
website (
http://service.real.com/
) for detailed
help files and to learn about more sophisticated
SMIL syntax.
