2. Locate the folder containing the files
you want, then click Open.
A pile of thumbnails appears on the
IN Room desktop.
Importing Video Clips
SHOW can import AVI or QuickTime
video clips on their respective computer
platforms. In a presentation, video clips
are treated like images, except that a slide’s
duration is determined by the length of
the video clip.
Video clips are imported using the Add a
Picture, Movie or SHOW Slide button.
Importing PowerPoint Slides
On the PC, you can import PowerPoint
(versions 3.0, 4.0, 7.0, and 8.0)
presentation slides (without transitions)
into SHOW.
SHOW does not currently support
PowerPoint import on the Macintosh
platform.
Once imported, PowerPoint slides are
treated just like other content.
You cannot import an individual
PowerPoint slide in its native .ppt
format. You have to import an entire
presentation as individual slides, unless
you’re importing them as JPEGs saved
in PC PowerPoint 97.
Interpreting PowerPoint, as with any
other proprietary file format, is not easy.
You might notice that some of your slides
do not display the same in SHOW as they
do in PowerPoint.
In particular, the third-party filter used in
SHOW currently supports only 2-color
gradients and does not support text drop
shadows.
Also, when placing text on an object or
within a region on a slide, vertical text
alignment is not always identical.
Most graphs and charts display accurately,
as do most text characters. Left-justified
bullet text also translates correctly most of
the time. You should keep these tips in
mind when creating PowerPoint slides to
ensure the best playback results within
SHOW.
To import PowerPoint slides on the PC:
1. Move the cursor over the File label,
then click the Add a Picture, Movie or
SHOW Slide button. The Open dialog
appears.
2. Locate the name of your PowerPoint
slide presentation (.ppt).
3. Click Open to load the slides onto
SHOW’s IN Room desktop as a group
of thumbnails.
Tips for Importing PowerPoint Slides
If you use PC PowerPoint 97 (version 8.0),
you have the option of saving a
PowerPoint slide or the entire
presentation as a JPEG or series of JPEG
files.
Once your slide(s) are in JPG format, you
can simply import them into SHOW
using the Add a Picture, Movie or SHOW
Slide button, or the Add a Folder of Files
button within the IN Room.
Use the File option to import a PowerPoint
presentation (as slides without transitions).
