Save Show Vs. Save Project; Saving A Show Project - ScanSoft Kai’s Power SHOW User Manual

Save Show vs. Save Project

SHOW's two Save options work quite
differently:
• The Save Project option lets you save
a show in-progress. Save Project
creates a project file (.shw) and a
folder. These contain information
about where files are located on your
hard drive, about transitions, and
even about presets. Save Project does
not copy files or prepare your show
for distribution.
• The Save Show option lets you save
and share your finished show. It
collects and optimizes all files in your
show, then copies them into a folder
that you can move or share. Save
Show creates a show file (.sas)
containing information about how to
reconstruct the show.
These two options also have different
memory requirements:
• Use Save Project if you have little
hard drive space available, and do not
intend to move your source files or
send the show to someone else. Save
Project does not duplicate content
files.
• Use Save Show if you're likely to
move your source files, or when you're
ready to share your show with others.

Saving a SHOW Project

Save Project lets you save what you've
done and work on your show at a later
time. The Save Project option creates links
to all the pictures, video clips, and sounds
used in the show. Even transitions,
presets, and memory dots are saved.
Save Project creates a project file (.shw)
and a project folder, which has the same
name as your project, with the word
"Media" attached to it. When you open
the project file, SHOW locates all the
content and re-assembles the show.
A show saved as a project file can only
be opened by SHOW.
Once you've saved your work as a SHOW
project, it's important to keep source files
in their original locations. If source files
are moved (even to a different location on
the same computer), the project file will
be unable to find them, because the file
links identifying their locations are
broken.
To save a show as a project file:
1. Before you save your project, make
sure source content (pictures and
video clips) are in their original
locations. Don't move them after you
save the project file.
2. Click the Save Project label, then click
the Save the Show Project with File
Links button.
Use the Save the Show Project with File Links
button to save your show as a project.
The Save dialog appears.
3. Choose a name and location for your
file, and click Save. Unless you specify
otherwise, SHOW projects and shows
are saved into the "My SHOW Files"
folder for easy retrieval.
SHOW creates a project file and
folder. These contain modified
content and links to all the pictures,
video clips and sounds you used in
your presentation.
