PowerPoint and basic setup

[Solong_2286]

Please, please, please give us the facility to embed PowerPoint again. And return the facility to set up the backgrounds and parameters of each Slide schedule like it was in EasiSlides 4 – always having to copy an old Schedule is a poor substitute.
If these facilities are not going to be returned, please can we have a system to allow us to revert to EasiSlides 4

Hi Solong,

The problem with Powerpoint support is MicroSoft, not EasySlides development. It’s no longer supported .
The trick to bypass it, is simple:

Open your PPT and export it as JPG: You end up with a directory
with the name of your PPT and contents are Slide1.jpg etc.

You can drag this folder directly into the schedule, or use the new lowest button at the side of the schedule pane. Right click on it in order te set transistion, sequence and timing.

That’s all: Now you have a smooth Presentation, without all the screen flickers caused by the PPT engine in the past.

HTH

Good luck

Hi,
Does this allow animations within slides to be incorporated?
e.g. words or images being reveiled on a slide/s?

Animations in a JPG??
Not possible.

What you can do is use the image transition for that purpose and split one animated slide in multiple images.

Or switch EasySlides temporarely out the life mode an use powerpoint for these complex presentations.

I added my songs into the Song folder, then opened EasySlides and clicked “Reload Database” under Tools. That made them show up in the list without needing to restart anything.

I found it easier to make timelines online instead of trying to get everything aligned in PowerPoint manually. It saved me time, especially when sharing across different devices. Once I had it looking right online, I just downloaded it and dropped it into my slides, and it worked without messing up the formatting during setup.
