soundslides to quicktime conversion

If you have QTP you can change the compressionn settings to get a better result. To get QTP just go to the Quicktime site and download a key. I think its about 20 quid or something.

If you need to burn a CD for people to play on a computer, the easiest thing would be simply to place the ‘Publish to web’ and slideshow project folder on the CD, with an alias/shortcut icon to kick start the slideshow.

Then the slideshow just plays in their computers browser just like it does in yours. Dont forget, potential clients might not actually have Quicktime on their computer, so perhaps the .mov file you gave them, won’t play – but they will have a web browser, which is what Soundslides plays on.

Another new option to add to your toolbox, is to use the Soundslides Embed Utility (and you don’t even have to go to Iraq…) :

Publish your Soundslides as normal, the the SEU generates a piece of code which can be used in a similar way to the embed code that sits next to YouTube videos – so you can now offer up Soundslides for clients to embed in their own webpages.

brilliant, thank you!!
The alias solves the problem of being able to take the launch icon out of the folder where it gets lost among all the other files….. I’ll try the embed link as well, and Joe at soundslides is checking into the fuzzy factor for me, so it seems like this issue is solvable in a number of ways.
