Guidelines for a Dvd-poster presentation in absentia

To create a DVD for a poster submission in absentia it would be great if presenters would do an audio component in the PowerPoint before converting it to a movie file. By speaking clearly and not too fast, your presentation to people with English as a second, third, or fourth language would derive even greater benefit from the information.

On behalf of the Scientific Committee we are pleased to give you the following guidelines and information:

 

Guidelines for a poster submission in absentia

You can download a free .exe, Windows Movie Maker. If you wanted to 'loop' your poster you would need to use Movie Maker this way:

1. Convert your powerpoint to .wmv file

2. Download Windows MovieMaker

3. Import .wmv into Windows MovieMaker and add to timeline

a) To accomplish a 'loop' you can import the .wmv multiple times so that the movie is the length you desire

b) E.g., if you have a 10-minute movie and you want your presentation to last 60 minutes, add 6 movies to the timeline

4. Follow the instructions to export your saved and finished movie.

5. Burn your movie to DVD

LINKS turn your PowerPoint into a video AND publish movie in Windows Movie Maker:

Option 1

Option 2
