Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm very curious to know how this is done using PowerPoint.<br>
I guess a movie is made out of a lot of individual frames (with the
use of e.g. something like Camtasia) and then afterwards a voice is
placed on top of it.<br>
If this is the way it is done, this is a very tedious time consuming
activity.<br>
Perhaps an opensource software package like e.g. synfig can make
things a little bit easier.<br>
You can find more information about synfig on the following link<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.synfig.org/cms/">http://www.synfig.org/cms/</a><br>
<br>
This is a very interesting thing. I'm very anxious to know more
about how this is done.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
John Bijnens<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m just wondering what approaches people
use for this sort of thing: we have a lecturer who wants to
create animation simply. He’s currently using powerpoint to
create this sort of thing: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think the results are really good, and
it’s taken some time to get right. I’m interested in
optimising the approach a bit, to make it fast and efficient:
maybe this is the best way of doing it, maybe there are
others?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What I’m interested in is what approaches /
tools do people use for this sort of thing? It doesn’t have to
be high end output: it could be a mixture of screen capture,
whilst dragging things around and narrating the process for
example. We’re not looking to turn staff into Flash
developers, it’s more about simple approaches that are easy
and quick to do.<o:p></o:p></p>
