Re: FLASH: voice over

[Michael Penne]

Good advice for using any presentation type program

I'm aware of. The places I've worked doing CD-ROM and

Web work, we always have machines of various processor

speeds and OSs to test our output, whether it is PPT,

Director, Flash, or html. As for transitions, etc. I

guess the use depends on the market. Doing commercial

work in Director, we almost never used the built in

transitions, makes a project look low budget. Once you

have built a library of original transitions, effects,

buttons, etc. in Flash you can of course re-use them,

and their uniquness adds to your corporate identity,

if such is important. 


However, if you just need to get a very basic

presentation out the door quicktly, and are less

concerned about esthetics, etc. than flash may not be

the best app. for your use.
