Impress Slide to Video

Post by PORTIVITAE »

:alarm: :alarm: :alarm: HELP PLEASE. :alarm: :alarm: :alarm:

I am making some digital signs for my business and I am using Open Office to make up slides but I need to convert it into a video format to display on our sign outside. Unfortunately all the video converters that I have tried are removing an animated gifs or similar items animations from the video. It leaves me with slides with no transitions. Is there a converter that I could be using that would preserve the animations?

I have tried the IMPRESS CONVERTER.
:knock:
Thanks,

Chris

Can you not simply treat the video display outside as an output device and send the presentation to it from a computer?

Or fake your transitions, by using multiple, slightly differing slides, changing automatically after very short intervals.

My work seems to be using a program to load the videos to the sign. It says that it requires it in video format. I haven't attempted to use a slide file yet.
