Publish a presentation on Internet

Introduction

In this tutorial we'll create a video from a presentation and publish on a website.

The result should look like this: Example of presentations on Internet.

First step: Create a video from the presentation

Start Slide Effect, then open the presentation you want to export (File/Open menu or "Open" in the toolbar). In this tutorial we will use the presentation "Funky Sample" (available here) .

Once the presentation is open, use the File/Export Presentation... menu option: a wizard will open.

Choose Export presentation to a movie file... and then choose the preset Flash Movie High Quality, enter a name for your video file and click Next> to start creating the video.

Be sure to disable your screen saver for the creation of the video: sometimes, if the screen saver appears when creating video, black images can appear in the final video.

To disable your screen saver, use the Start menu, then Control Panel, "Appearance and Personalization" and finally "Change Screensaver": ChooseNone.

Second step: Install the "player"

In this example we'll use the JW Player for publishing video on the Internet.

First, download the archive from the following site: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Media_Player and unzip it.

Then:

Copy the MediaPlayer directory on your website (in our example, in the root)
Copy the video file ("internet-tutorial.flv") that you just created on your website (again, in the root)

Third step: Create the page that will display the video

Now we'll create the page that will display the video.

Open your favorite text editor, such as "notepad" and type the following HTML code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
	<title>My Presentation on Internet</title>
</head>
<body>
	<h3>My Presentation:</h3>
	<embed 
	src="mediaplayer.swf" 
	width="640" 
	height="500" 
	allowscriptaccess="always" 
	allowfullscreen="true" 
	flashvars="height=500&width=640&file=internet-tutorial.flv&searchbar=false"
	/>

</body>
</html>

Be sure to adjust the width and height to the size of your video if you have chosen other parameters when creating the video. Also make sure to change the name and path of the flv file if you have not named the file in the same way.

Save the presentation.htm as the root of your website.

You can now open the page http://www.[Your domain]/presentation.htm to watch the video of your presentation.
