Microsoft Producer 2003 Microsoft Producer is a product
Microsoft Producer 2003 Microsoft Producer is a product for creating synchronized multimedia presentations for viewing in a web browser. Audio and video tracks, PowerPoint slides, and images can all be linked together on an interactive time line. As the user navigates back and forth through the presentation, the slides change in synchronism with the video track. In this way it is very easy for the viewer to step through different parts of a presentation. The tool is an adjunct to Microsoft PowerPoint. It is aimed at the internal communications staff of a corporation, so presentations can be prepared inhouse, without the need to outsource to a production company. The production process starts with a PowerPoint presentation. As the presentation is run through, the slide changes are recorded on a time line. Audio and video tracks can then be synchronized to the same time line. At its simplest, you can make a voice-over to accompany a PowerPoint presentation. For a more compelling presentation, a video clip of the presenter can be added. Other elements can be incorporated, like still photographs and links, and placed into an HTML page for delivery. Microsoft supplies a number of templates for the page layout, much like a word processor. The final integrated presentation is a web page; the Internet Explorer browser can be used to play the final presentation. The audio and video content is carried by Windows Media, embedded in the pages. The advantage of Producer is that it is simple to use; any PowerPoint user could soon learn to use the extra facilities. Note that the output does not have to be streamed; it can also be distributed via FTP or CD-ROM. Discreet Cleaner Many nonlinear editing applications can directly output a limited set of streaming formats. If you need flexibility and additional control, then Discreet Cleaner is a stand-alone encoding platform. This very popular authoring application is available for both Windows and Mac platforms (Cleaner XL and Cleaner 6, respectively). Cleaner supports over 60 streaming codecs including the lesser used like the Kinoma (for Palm PDAs). It also can be used to code MPEG-2 for DVDs. Cleaner has a facility for programming synchronized events, called Event-Stream. This lets you create interactive rich media applications. All of the main streaming architectures offer some level of interactive features. Cleaner lets you add stream navigation, synchronize HTML to streaming media, embed links, and add interactive hotspots. Cleaner is agnostic toward the streaming architecture, so you can author once and then encode many times to support several streaming architectures. 318 The Technology of Video and Audio Streaming
