I need to produce a marketing presentation for distribution on diskette which is mainly text, but the client wants some animation of their logo etc. After going through the Animator Pro tutorials and being a mac-user, I am against using Animator Pro for the text "slides". But would use it for the animated logo part. But what to use? What PC presentation package allows you to import animation files created in Animator Pro and then port the entire thing to a player for distribution? I'm thinking the following, but please let me know if there is an easier way: 1. Create animation in AP 2. Convert to quicktime using Adobe Premiere for Windows 3. Somehow get quicktime file to mac platform 4. Use Persuasion 3.0 for mac to make presentation and play animation 5. convert to Persuasion player will this work? Help! Thanks. Liz

Hi Liz at risk of starting a monster religious war <g>: If end product is to be PC I seriously sugest you start, end and all points in between on a PC. There is a POCO routine called Show'em that does text stuff pretty good. Or CorelDraw. It's not that PC or DOS programs are that much better … but the hassel of translating back and forth probalbly will be greater than learning how to use this stuff, or maybe farming it out. The windows AA player works ok for most things – but I have run in to some difficulties. Where are you located? there may be some friendly folks near by. are the end machines all the same or is it to go to wide distribution. (or is that even something you have to worry about?) good luck, Dave Wright Wyeknot, inc
