MACROMEDIA BREEZE-USING THE BREEZE PLUG-IN FOR MICROSOFT POWERPOINT Use Manual page 13

Recording animation
You can add text or objects to a presentation slide. For example, you can have text bullet points
"fly" from the right of the slide, or you can have a picture appear in the middle of your slide.
Animations can start automatically at a specific time or manually through
mouseclicks.PowerPoint supports two basic types of animations to enhance your presentation:
Automatic animations
based on predefined timed settings. Breeze Plug-In for PowerPoint automatically plays these
animations during your presentation.
Mouse-click animations
Mouse-click animations allow the presenter to synchronize the animations to the audio narration.
The Breeze plug-in records these animations as the presenter generates them during the recording
process.
To add mouse-click animations to a presentation:
•
While recording audio in the Record Narration dialog box (select Breeze > Record), press the
Next Animation button. If you do not see the text "Next Animation" (on the Action button),
then there is no mouse-click animation ready to be played.
After starting a mouse-click animation, you should see it appear in the presentation screen. If
you make any changes or additions to your animations after recording a slide, you should
review that slide again to make sure that playback is correct.
Note: Macromedia Breeze does not support all types of PowerPoint animations. Some animations
are converted to create a similar effect during the online conversion process.
Playing back the recorded slide
After recording audio and slide animations for a specific slide, you can immediately review the
audio and animations for that slide from within the Record Narration dialog box.
To play back a recorded slide:
Move to the slide you want to play back using the Next or Previous buttons.
1.
Press the Play button. The current slide, including audio and animations, plays until stopped.
2.
To play back only the current slide, select the Record/Play This Slide Only check box.
3.
You can also use the View Show menu item to play back the entire presentation.
About the PPC file
Breeze Plug-In for PowerPoint creates a file with the extension .ppc to store the audio information
for your presentation (the file has the same name as the presentation, but uses the .ppc extension
rather than .ppt extension used by PowerPoint. If you move or copy the PowerPoint presentation,
you must also move or copy the corresponding PPC file to the same location, or your
presentation will not include your audio information.
These animations are automatically enabled during a presentation
These animations are enabled by mouse clicks during a presentation.
