Creating an opening slide

Next we’ll create a slide for Steve to present. Switch to Outline View, select the Slideshow object, and

click the Add Content button ( ). The Content wizard is a quick and easy way to import your content.

For now, choose “Empty Slide”.

To edit the contents of this slide, return to Design View and, if necessary, select the slide from the sidebar.

Note that you can quickly view a given slide in Design View by double-clicking on it in Outline View.

Now add a title by clicking on the Add Text button ( ). You can either click-and-release at the location

where the text should start, or you can click and drag out a rectangle that the text will flow into. In the first

case you give the text frame no fixed width, so it simply resizes to conform to the text. In the second case

you give it a size, so it wraps the text over multiple lines to conform to this width.

When you create a Text object you can immediately begin typing “My First Slideshow”. When you are

done typing, press Esc or click outside of the text object. You can return to “edit mode” on a text object by

double-clicking on it.

When a Text object is selected you will see the text formatting controls become active in the toolbar. You

can use these controls to modify the selected text object. You can also double-click and edit the object to

apply the formatting to specific ranges of text. Note that the Builder uses pixels and not points as a unit of

font height.

Next, let’s try adding a slide background. To do so, use the Library pane to navigate to Backgrounds >

Slide Backgrounds and choose “Blue Wash”.

With the blue background, you’ll want to change the color of the text to white. You can quickly reverse the

color of the text on your slide by checking the “Show text as white on black” checkbox on the slide panel.

(In Design view, the Slide panel appears when no other object is selected.) Or you can select the text object

available from the Download page. These voices are free, but tend to sound robotic – they are a great way

to obtain a quick voiceover for testing purposes.

If you are using Text-to-Speech then you may need to use some creative spellings and insert extra

punctuation to make your transcript come out right. Depending on your speech engine, you may also have

access to a Lexicon feature that lets you customize the pronunciation for specific words.

If you are using recorded audio and forget to record a line, then you may be surprised to hear a synthesized

voice deliver the missing audio. If you are using Text-to-Speech then we recommend that you use the Play

button frequently while you are editing the message, as it lets you catch pronunciation errors early.

Adding animation

Next we’ll add an animation action. Click just before the “W’ in “Welcome” to place the insertion point at

the beginning of the action. Insert a “Hands Up” action, by clicking on the Add Hands Action button and

selecting the first icon from the drop-down list (Hands Up).

Your Script View will now look something like this.

You can click on an action icon to select the action. When an action is selected, its properties will appear in

the Property Pane. Many actions have a Target property that allows a target for an action to be selected.

The Say action is the only action that does not have its own icon, but you can select it by clicking the entire

line, in the margin.

Now click right below this line and notice how the blue insertion mark in the margin indicates where your

next insertion will occur. You can click between lines to insert a new line, or below the last line to add a

line.

Now press the Insert Pause Action button to create a line containing a Pause action. You will often want a

Pause action between distinct Say actions. By default a pause will be ¾ of a second. A line will often

consist of one or more action icons, and no text. These actions are not synchronized with any audio, and are

simply played silently.

Next, create a third line: “My name is Steve, and I will be your host today.”

You can synchronize an action with the voice by placing the action where you would like the action to

begin – in this case it will begin at the same time as the audio. You will find that the result reads much like

a theatrical script.
