Add a Video to the Slide List

To Convert or Not to Convert

  • Files which do not need Conversion - .avi
  • Files which need conversion - .mov; .mp4 etc
  • If you are unsure then dragging or otherwise adding a file to the Slide List will, if necessary, suggest Optimisation (Conversion to .avi)

Unconverted Video

Dragging into Slide List

  • A file which is of the type which requires Optimisation (.mov; .mp4 etc) can be dragged (left click and drag) into the Slide List
  • A Window pops up to suggest that you should Optimise the File

  • It is advisable to always accept this suggestion and Click on Optimise - you can save to the same folder as the original or change to a different folder location
  • The original file is added to the Slide List and the Slide Duration will be equal to the Video Clip Duration
  • Once the Slide Duration is set by this action any editing of the Video Duration by Trimming etc must be compensated for by manual adjustment of the Slide Duration
  • Optimisation or Conversion is then carried out in the background allowing the user to work

  • It is (if required) possible to intercept the Optimisation Dialogue - see below

  • The file is then saved as Filename.converted.avi and added to the File List
  • The original file (after conversion) is replaced by the Filename.converted.avi File in the Slide List
