On Tuesday at Better Hearing Australia [where I do my lip-reading classes] I gave a little presentation to the massed audience [of about 20] which consisted of the pictures from my Europe 09 expedition.
I imported the images from the trip from my digital camera into my computer, using a program called iPhoto. [On a Mac]
Then I edited the keywords for the final sets. Once the sets were established I uploaded the sets and pictures to my web album.
They are available on Picasa in the various sets. [link]
The next export was different. I created a slide show from the images, no music, 5 second duration for each image and exported the entire set's slideshow as a quicktime movie, to a file on my desktop.
At this point I might have imported it to iMovie to add captions, titles and other stuff. But I didn't this time.
I imported the exported slideshow to iTunes and then converted it to iPhone friendly. The iPhone friendly version was then synchronised [sent to] with the iPhone and is available on the phone for viewing.
But how to show it to 20 people? Bit too close for comfort.
I have a cable which connects the iPhone to a TV. So, I could play the movie starting and stopping as appropriate, using the iPhone as a wired remote, and giving my commentary.
Also at BHA they have an audio loop so those of us with the appropriate hearing device can hear what's said. That made it all very easy to get the message across.
It all worked quite well!
