authorSTREAM Allows Presentations With Presenter Video in New Exclusive Offering
Adding live video narration to PowerPoint presentations from several sources such
as web cams, DV or mini DV cameras, or from video files from the hard disk will
now allow presenters to literally present their presentations online without the
need of being physically present. Presentations can be imported to authorPOINT,
a desktop software and add-in for PowerPoint, which extends the ability to add video
and subsequent upload to authorSTREAM, an online PowerPoint sharing service.
Raleigh, USA, May 19, 2009 - authorSTREAM, the online PowerPoint
presentation sharing platform, launches today its
synchronized video presentation service, allowing users to add videos to
their presentations from different devices such as web cameras, DV cams and mini
DV cams. Also, presenters can enrich their PowerPoint sharing experience by using
the audio or video supported formats (.AVI .WMV .WAV and .WMA), through files stored
on the hard disk, USB or firewire based devices.
In order to use this service, presenters need to have the authorPOINT software installed
on their PCs, which can be easily downloaded for free, from authorgen.com. A button,
"authorPOINT" appears in the "Add Ins" tab on Microsoft PowerPoint. Once installed,
authorPOINT enables users to record video or audio narrations live, and also if
they prefer, to use an existing audio or video file as narration or as multimedia
addition.
This combination of authorPoint and authorSTREAM comes with excellent benefits,
especially for businessmen, online students and teachers. Users not only have the
opportunity to share slideshows on the Web, but also to enrich their sharing experience
by adding audio and other multimedia contents. Additionally, the free-hand annotations
tool, plus the easy process for embedding and sharing the PPTs, add to the usability
of this new service.
Harman Singh, CEO of authorGEN Technologies, the parent company of authorSTREAM
shares his vision, "The addition of video, usually of authors presenting, with PowerPoint
slides brings presenters closer to their audience when they cannot physically be
there to present. It is a step closer to effective communication than PowerPoint
alone can do"
This service holds immense possibilities especially for creating training videos,
e-learning presentations and other instructional presentations. It can also be useful
for narrating product reviews etc.
