Review Tab - (Displayed for all Project Types)
Once you've synchronized slides with your media files (whether you recorded the media files directly or imported and synched) - you are now ready to Review your project. You may either click the Next Step button (located at the bottom in the Presio Button Bar) OR click the Review Tab at the top.
The Review Tab allows you to synchronize your Media file(s) with your Slides. The Review Tab implements a similar design - 2 windows are opened at a time - the main Review Tab screen and a Slide Viewer window.

Note: Each window can be move around and positioned however you'd like.
The Review allows you to review and edit your project before publishing into a final rich media presentation format. There are basically 3 sections to the Review Tab:
1. Review Buttons - These buttons allows you to manage Synched Slides and Clips within the project:
Add Slide |
Opens the Add Slide window. This window allows you to insert a new synched slide within the selected clip.
|
Edit Slide |
Opens the Edit Slide window. This window allows you to edit the properties of each of the synched slides in the project.
|
Copy Slide |
Creates a new slide by copying the currently selected slide and places the new copy at time 00:00:00 within the currently selected clip.
|
Delete Slide |
Removes the currently selected slide from the project. The audio or video portion of the clip is unchanged. The image that represents that slide is simply removed.
|
Delete Slides |
Same as Delete Slide above - except all synched slides for the currently selected Clip are removed.
|
Rename Clip |
Allows you to specify a new name for the currently selected Clip. Clip names help recognize the content of a particular audio or video clip.
|
Replace Clip |
Replaces the currently selected Clip with a new media file. All synched slides remain in place are applied to the new clip.
|
Delete Clip |
Removes the currently selected Clip (including all synched slides contained within the clip) completely from the project. |
2. Clip and Slides List - This area displays a list of all Synched Slides and Clips within your project. You can choose a Clip or Slide to work manage or preview.
View by Clips Tab - This tab lists (in a hierarchical form) each Clip within your project and then within each Clip, the related Synched Slides. Each synched slide listed displays the Timepoint and the Slide Title. The Timepoint is the relative time within the Clip in which the slide will display in a final presentation.
This tab allows you to select Clips or Slides to edit/add/delete etc. As you select a clip or slide from the list, the functions you can perform will be enabled by the Review Buttons to the left.
Selecting a Clip item from the list:
1. Moves the media seek bar to the beginning of the clip, ready for playback
2. Enables the Delete Slides, Rename Clip, Delete Clip buttons
3. A selected Clip may be reordered by dragging it above or below other clips in the list - the final order the clips are within the list is the order in which the final published media will be generated
Selecting a Synched Slide item from the list:
1. Opens Slide Preview window for that particular
2. Enables the Add Slide, Edit Slide, Copy Slide, Delete Slide buttons
3. Moves the media seek bar to that point in the clip
View by Slides Tab - This tab lists all Synched Slides in a flat list, exactly as the published presentation's Table of Contents area will appear to your viewers. Once a presentation is published all clips are merged into a single media file, and the corresponding slides are synched with that final published file. So, this list displays each Slide Timepoint relative to a published presentation with a single media file. Slide titles are also displayed. This view is designed for previewing your clips and synched slides together, and no Slide or Clip editing functions are available when on this tab.
3. Clip Playback Area - This area allows you to Play/Pause and Seek to various clips within your project:
Media Preview area
|
This area displays the total duration of all clips in the project and provides a video preview area for clips that contain video. For audio only clips, the Audio Only box is displayed. |
Play button
|

Pause button
|
Pauses clip playback. |
Previous clip button
|
If the project contains more than 1 clip - this button allows you to quickly move to the previous clip. |
Next clip button
|
If the project contains more that 1 clip - this button allows you to quick move to the next clip in the series.
|
Media seek bar and status
|
Allows you to seek forward and back with the set of clips. Also, provides playback status and clip status information, such as: - Current clip - Playback status - Playing/Pauses
|
Media seek bar and status (cont.)
|
To the far right of the Media seek bar, this timing information represents the current playback time along with the total duration of the set of clips.
In the example to the left: 00:00:18 - represents current playback time 00:11:54 - represents total duration of all clips
|
