Comments on: Just a few Anouncements http://www.panamindorah.com/?p=114 a free audio series by Abigail Hilton Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:22:19 -0400 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: admin http://www.panamindorah.com/?p=114&cpage=1#comment-1713 admin Sat, 09 May 2009 23:13:25 +0000 http://www.panamindorah.com/?p=114#comment-1713 Thanks, Alex. I had someone just today speak of keynote in glowing terms. Sounds interesting. I've never owned a Mac (and, in fact, used other MP3 players for years; I wasn't sold on the iPod until the last couple of years). I probably will buy a Mac someday when I have an income again. My iPhone has more or less grown into an in separatble 5th appendage in the 2 months I've had it, so obviously they're making good stuff. Until then, my Thinkpad has served me well. Thanks, Alex.

Then you have complete control over everything and there are great animations/effects in the program (unlike Powerpoint). Files can also be exported as videos. Just a suggestion if you don't want to mess around/invest too much time in video editing software. I even think that one can download a trial version from the Apple site. I made some videos to be displayed between speakers at a conference and it looked professional.

I agree that the music ends abruptly. Unfortunately, Animoto (though cooler than anything I can presently do for myself) is partially automated, and I can't directly control where the music ends. I can manipulate it indirectly, though. Thanks, Alex! I agree that the music ends abruptly.
