from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Ever wanted to create a slideshow of images, text and audio? Perhaps you want to create a simple video but don't want to get involved in video editing software. Presentation software is an alternative that might work for you. This article will show you how to make a presentation with OpenOffice.org Impress, which you can easily export to flash (the most common video format online) so you can share it with others.
Steps
- Launch OpenOffice.org Impress and the wizard should appear.
- Choose type (empty presentation, from template[1] or open existing presentation) and click Next.
- Choose a slide design (presentation backgrounds or presentation templates), leave output medium as screen and click Next.
- Choose a slide transition (effect and speed) and click Create.
- Click Insert then add text or a picture.
- Click Insert then Slide to add the next slide.
- Click Insert then Video and Sound.
- When you've finished, click File then Export.
- Click in the Filter box and choose Macromedia Flash (SWF) (.swf). Type in a filename in the Location box and choose a directory to save it to.
- To Upload to Youtube an SWF file will need to be converted unless you can upload it to youtube via FTP.
Tips
- Save your presentation as OpenDocument Presentation (.odp) after you created it and before you export it, if you want a backup.
- Microsoft Office Powerpoint requires third-party plugins to export to flash.
