How to create a Picture-in-Picture video

I put another screencast tutorial together.  This one shows a cool feature in Presio that allows you to take a PowerPoint presentation and embed a small video clip inside, effectively creating a picture-in-picture video effect.  This can be done with a video editing package, but it is typically an advanced feature that is tough to find in some of those tools.  Presio makes it quite easy.  See how in this screencast:

Creating synchronized text transcripts

Recently, I’ve received some questions on how to use Presio’s transcript feature.  So, I’ve gone ahead and put together a screencast tutorial that shows how to add synchronized transcript text to each slide within a Presio presentation.

Here are steps described in the the tutorial: 

  1. Create a new Presio project and synch up slides with audio or video
  2. Go to the “Review” tab
  3. While on the “Review” tab click the “Edit” tab - (This will give you a list of your media clips and the related synched slides)
  4. Choose the first slide in the list and click the “Edit Slide” button

Once here you just need to enter in the text associated with each slide into the “Slide Notes” box for each slide.  The text you enter in this box will appear in the “Slide Notes” tab after you’ve published the presentation.  This text will be synchronized with each slide.  If you’d like you can also change the title of the “Notes” tab to “Transcript” if you’d like as well.
