Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to place video clips on your slides and how to set them up to play when you want them to. You learned about the differences between various video formats, and how to set up clips to play when you display the slide and/or when you click them. You learned how to set a clip's volume and appearance, and how to make it play at different starting points and stop at different ending points. Finally, you learned how to incorporate Shockwave and Director content and how to output a presentation to videotape.

In the next chapter, you learn about transitions and object animation. With a transition, you can create special effects for the movement from one slide to another. With object animation, you can control the entry and exit of individual objects on a slide. You can make them fly in with special effects or build them dramatically one paragraph, bar, or shape at a time.
