Lesson 1: Saving Shows

You can save your finished show in two
ways: as a saved project (.shw) to be edited
later by you locally; or as a collected and
optimized show (.sas) to be moved or
shared with others remotely.
In this lesson you'll save your show using
the Save the Show Project with File Links
option. This option requires the least
amount of hard drive space.
To save a show using the Save Project
option:
Make sure you're in the OUT Room by
clicking the OUT label at the top of the
screen.
Click the OUT label to move to the OUT Room.
1. Before you save the show project,
make sure that your source content
(images and video clips) remain in
their original locations so that SHOW
can find and use them later when you
load the project file.
If you change your file location
structure later, the .shw project file
will not find your original content.
2. Move the cursor over 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. Enter SHOWProject.shw in the
filename field and set a location for
the show. The default location is the
"My SHOW Files" folder.
SHOW attaches the .shw extension
for you.
4. Click Save. SHOW creates a project
file with links to the pictures,
transitions, and sound clips you used
to create the presentation and a
modified content folder.

Distributing Your Show

You can distribute your show to other
users, regardless of whether or not they
have a copy of Kai's Power SHOW. The
SHOW Player software (included for both
PC and Macintosh) can be used to play a
show on other computers, even if they
don't have an installed copy of SHOW.
The lessons in this section will teach you
how to prepare a show for distribution
and how to distribute it using E-mail.
The Story So Far
So far in this tutorial you've learned how
to import, sort, sequence, edit, and play
your show. You've also learned how to save
your show for future editing. In this next
section, you'll learn how to save your
show for distribution.
Lesson 1: Preparing a Show for
Distribution
If you want to distribute your show to
someone else or move your show files to
another location on your computer, you
need to use the Save Show option, which
copies the files used in the show into a
"media" folder, located next to the .sas
show file. Keeping and moving these two
files together ensures that the show file
