Inserting a countdown timer into a slideshow
Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 1:44 am
I want to insert a countdown clock into a slideshow in Presentation. I found a link <http://www.ipresentee.com/iPresentee/iP ... hemes.html> which seemed to be the answer. It was built for Powerpoint/Keynote but I don't see why it shouldn't work with OpenOff. It is a way to embed a Quicktime movie in a slide show. I was able to insert the movie (which is very cool, btw) but I'm still having one problem. The countdown timer begins at 01:30:00 (it's 90 minutes long) and I have each one of my slides set to run for two minutes. I need the clock to start at 00:02:00. In Powerpoint, there is a thing called the Poster frame which allows you the option to say exactly where you want your movie to begin in the slide. I have not been able to find a comparable function in OpenOff. Is there a way for me to do this? It was imperfect at best in Powerpoint - I almost got it to work - I'm hopeful OpenOffice has the capability. Thanks.
