Hi all. Next month, I'm going to be presenting some topics at Barcamp here in Rochester, NY.
http://barcamproc.org . Anyway, rather than using Keynote/Powerpoint/whatever to do the slides, I've decided that I'm going to go an Amiga route.
I had a few options in front of me, that I know of, and was wondering if anyone had more suggestions. I wanted to keep it 1.3 based, so AmigaVision (which I've actually never used) would be less desired. The idea is that I'd plug my Amiga 500 into the video input on the podium, pop in a self-booting floppy, and the presentation just goes.
Options that I can think of:
-- Slideshow (Deluxe Paint Art & Utilities Disk)
Shows images only, with transitions
Can't remember if it does mouse input (eg, hold on the current image until clicked)
No text, everything has to be IFF images
-- Slides
Photograph an amiga screen to slide film
including this here for completeness.
-- Deluxe Video 3
Can use it to generate titles as well, or bullet items with animation
IFF images or solid colors as backgrounds/ images
has an included tool to generate a slideshow project quickly, which Ill use as a starting point
This is the way I'm going to go, unless something else presents itself.
-- AmigaVision
Probably would work well, but it is >1.3, and my A500 is 1.3.
I've never used AmigaVision, although let's say I have it "available" to me.
As a backup, I'll export the screens to VHS tape or something of-the-era, and use that for presenting.
Has anyone done this, or have suggestions?
