[libreoffice-users] RE: Video output from Impress

2011-12-02 Thread rod
Thanks for your help Drew,

 

I have finished the presentation and put it on to DVD and it works.

 

The method was a bit involved but all worked fairly simply;  I created the 
slideshow in Impress mainly because I wanted to have a scrapbook type of look 
to it and Impress has a background that just looks like a wire bound book page 
so I used it.  Then the problems started when I tried to output it to DVD, the 
SWF file produced by Impress didn’t seem to want to open in anything, not even 
a dedicated Flash Player.  S, I then exported each image as a tiff file and 
used an application called Imagination to produce the slide show, the only 
complaint was that it didn’t have a transition that looked like a page turning 
so I used random selection of the many provided instead.  Imagination produced 
a VOB file which I was able to open in DeVeDe and author it to an iso image 
which I then burned to DVD with K3B.  Anyway all a lot of mucking around from 
one package to another but a more than satisfactory result.

 

Cheers

 

Rod

 I will download swfdec flash player and try it.  I have made a slideshow in 
 Impress, there’s half a gig of it, it is simply a series of still images in 
 four sections with some music in the background with 10s between slide 
 changes;  I want to put the presentation onto a DVD that can be played on a 
 standard DVD player.  The presentation is on a machine running Ubuntu 11.10 
 but I can port it to a Windoze machine if necessary.  If I’d thought it was 
 going to be this hard I’d have used some other authoring method.  The main 
 stumbling block seems to be the SWF file but I’ll try with your 
 recommendation. 

Hi Rod, 

Yes, to be fair Impress would not have been my first choice for this at 
all - and it still might be worth the time to switch to something like 
OpenShot - if the images are on your disc then putting something like 
this together should be a very quick exercise. 

Just to answer the other query here - I tend to use XVidCap for screen 
captures - but you have to understand that this will not get you a full 
25 frames per second, let alone 30 FPS - on my machine I can get maybe 
13 FPS if I run Impress and the capture utility under the same host and 
this means that you have to double all your timings as when the final 
render is done at 25 FPS. 

So when I need to do this what I do is use VirtualBox to run Impress in 
a guest OS (usually OpenSuse) and run the screen capture utility in the 
Host - this will get me maybe another 4 FPS on the capture without 
having to drop the quality and or size during capture. 

Finally - OpenShot is really nice for video effects and not bad for 
working with audio - but my workflow is usually to use both OpenShot for 
video transitions and then mix the audio tack(s) into this using PitiVi. 

I know that sounds a bit convoluted but once you have done it a few 
times you can get fairly quick. 

I'll give you an example - a few weeks back I tuned in to a live 
broadcast by Jono Bacon (canonical) about, amongst other things, 
loco-teams and at the end of his broadcast he grabs his axe and starts 
to riff...cool. 

So - I quick turn on soundrecorder to capture the audio - jump to the 
Ubuntu wiki and grab a piece of art work - use GIMP to produce a couple 
quick images for text overlay and use OpenShot to mix it up. 

Literally 30 minutes after his broadcast is finished I was able to 
upload this little (a bit rough on audio level..) video: 
http://baseanswers.com/ubuntu/ubutu200.mp4
[BTW consider this public domain] 

Anyway - long way to say - if this project is worth doing, you really 
should consider doing it with the right tools and Impress isn't it, IMO. 

Best wishes, 

//drew

Check the FILE  EXPORT options. I know Flash is there but I am not 
sure about others.

[libreoffice-users] RE: Video output from Impress

2011-11-26 Thread rod
Thanks for that Drew,

 

I will download swfdec flash player and try it.  I have made a slideshow in 
Impress, there’s half a gig of it, it is simply a series of still images in 
four sections with some music in the background with 10s between slide changes; 
 I want to put the presentation onto a DVD that can be played on a standard DVD 
player.  The presentation is on a machine running Ubuntu 11.10 but I can port 
it to a Windoze machine if necessary.  If I’d thought it was going to be this 
hard I’d have used some other authoring method.  The main stumbling block seems 
to be the SWF file but I’ll try with your recommendation.

 

Cheers

 

Rod

 Hi 
 
 I use Swfdec Flash Player to view that kind of files... but it isn't 
 like a movie, it is like a presentation. 

Right and if all you want is flip chart type stuff then sure output to 
SWF is fine, but if you are looking for a bit more (custom animations 
for instance) then what I do is use a screen capture utility to generate 
the video file. 

Then I take the raw input into video editors, with not too much effort 
you can get some decent results. 

Also before you ask - if you are using Windows, I have no idea what 
tools to use - if Linux, ask away.

  Thanks Jay/Tom, 
  
  The only video format available is the Flash format and I tried that a 
  number of times but for some reason nothing I have installed (even Flash 
  Player itself) could open or play the generated files.

  Hi :) 
  Sorry for the very slow response!  I thought that 
  File - Save As... 
  could save in a wide variety of movie formats?

  I have just spent quite a bit of time making a slide show in Impress and 
  what 
  I want to do is to write the presentation to a DVD that can be played on a 
  standard DVD player.  Is there any way that I can output in some video 
  format? I would appreciate any assistance in this matter as I would rather 
  not have to start over in some other package. 
  Thanks in advance 
  Rod
