[DM-MUG] Doing presentations....options galore!

[Bryan Baker]

It all depends.
For an actual "Presentation" I think I'd start w/ Keynote.
If it's just photos, I'd start w/ iPhoto
if it involves moving images I've got myself pretty hooked on DVD's
Remember one can definitely mix and match EG:

Training Video:

Keynote for "slide" elements
Captured "moving screenshots" using Screen Recorder (or Snapz Pro)

Both of those can be exported to QT and then imported to:

iMovie (or FCE/P)
Where I can overdub narration, etc.
I can add other moving elements (like live video, etc.)


Another thing to ponder - for web dist. Keynote can now output (simple) 
Flash files (similar caveats to powerpoint export apply).

W/ GarageBand it's also pretty easy to get "original" music whipped up 
pretty quickly using loops. No worries about Copyright.
