Recorded presentations…..

…..are (almost) always horrible. The lack atmosphere and they often lack anything that might be described as subtle. Putting a presentation on the web so that all anyone sees is your slides is, as I’ve tweeted once, a bit like looking only at the balls and wondering why the juggling act is a bit rubbish….

Something which might help is http://www.synchpoint.co.uk/. They contacted Curved Vision this morning and being nosy, I poked around the website. I have to admit that I’ve never used them but if I needed to do what their stuff does, I’d be seriously tempted…. you get to watch a recording of the presentation and see the slides (synchronized). What’s more, there are a load of gadgets which allow you to skip forward, back and sideways (by searching).

What it can’t do, of course, is make your presentation any good in the first place! :)

  1. Is synchpoint better than zentation.com? They look very similar.

  2. To be honest Joel, I’ve no idea – as I said, I’ve not used it… just passing something on because they contacted me.

    Personally, I believe the way the original presentation is designed and delivered is far, far, more important than the software to work on it afterwards…. :)

    Thanks for reading – it’s nice to see the blog being read – sorry I can’t be more useful this time! :)
