Getting started

Breeze Plug-In for PowerPoint offers a simple approach to using the features:

Record audio You can add audio and synchronized animations to your PowerPoint

presentation, creating a complete multimedia version for delivery over intranets and the Internet.

For more information, see “Recording audio” on page 12.

Preview a presentation You can view your animated multimedia presentation before

uploading to Macromedia Breeze, ensuring you have recorded the right messages for your

presentation.

Publish a presentation You can upload your presentation from your desktop PC to

Macromedia Breeze Training or Macromedia Breeze Manager, where your presentation is

converted to the appropriate online formats, including Macromedia Flash and streaming audio.

For more information, see “Logging in and publishing a presentation” on page 16.

Manage your account You can manage your complete presentation library, including adding

users and setting presentation viewing permissions. For more information, see “Managing your

account” on page 28.

Breeze Plug-In for PowerPoint also offers a set of commands for editing and importing your audio

and animations, including the following tools:

Import files You can import external audio files using the Breeze plug-in. For more

information, see “Importing audio” on page 19.

Edit timings You can redo your animation timing without re-recording your audio. For more

information, see “Editing animation timings” on page 20.

Edit audio and animation timing This powerful new tool allows you to graphically edit your

audio and animation timing. Instead of using an external audio program, you can now perform

basic editing using the Breeze plug-in.

Breeze Plug-In for PowerPoint also includes a powerful feature that allows you to quickly add

quizzes and surveys to your PowerPoint presentations.

System requirements 7

To create your online presentation, select Breeze > Run Wizard. The wizard guides you through

all the steps necessary to create an online presentation. For more information, see “Using the

Create Wizard” on page 11.

Design tips

To create effective online presentations, follow these design guidelines:

•Design your online presentation to optimize the bandwidth capabilities of your audience. If

your audience has fast broadband connections to view your online presentation, you can create

a graphic-intensive presentation that includes many animations. However, if your audience has

slower connection speeds (less than 56 Kbps), you should use graphic images judiciously to

ensure that your audience has a good viewing experience.

•Create a written script of your audio presentation. Your online presentation is designed so that

you can present once but let your audience view many times. Speaking into a microphone can

often be more difficult than giving the presentation to a live audience. To ensure a smooth

delivery in which you cover all of your important points, consider completely scripting your

presentation before recording.

•Add animation to your presentation. Breeze Plug-In for PowerPoint supports PowerPoint

animation. Animation often adds interest to your message and improves the overall viewing

experience of your audience.

•View the presentation online before releasing it to your audience. During the conversion

process to an online presentation, your original PowerPoint presentation may undergo some

slight changes. You should view the online version to ensure that it meets your requirements

before presenting to your online audience.

•Create slide titles that appear in the PowerPoint outline. Breeze Plug-In for PowerPoint uses

the PowerPoint outline to provide your viewers with fast access to any slide. You should make

sure that slide titles are displayed in the PowerPoint outline for all slides, including graphic

only slides, before uploading your presentation.

System requirements

The following hardware and software is required to run Breeze Plug-In for PowerPoint.

Windows

•Windows 98, Windows Millennium, Windows NT 4, Windows 2000

•200 MHz Pentium processor or better

•32 MB of RAM

•5 MB of free disk space

•Approximately 0.5 MB of disk space for every minute of presentation audio

PowerPoint 97, PowerPoint 2000, or PowerPoint XP

Breeze Plug-In for PowerPoint is designed for use with PowerPoint 97, PowerPoint 2000, and

PowerPoint XP. It is not designed for use with any other version of PowerPoint.

8 Chapter 2: Introduction

Microphone and sound card

To add audio to your presentation, you need a microphone and a sound card. A good quality

microphone and sound card can greatly enhance the final online audio quality. For more

information, see “Selecting the right microphone” on page 47.

Note: Built-in laptop microphones generally produce recordings of poor quality. Macromedia

recommends using an external microphone.

Internet connection

To publish your online presentation to the Macromedia Breeze online service, you need an

Internet connection.

Because presentations with audio can be very large files, Macromedia recommends a fast Internet

connection, of at least 100 Kbps, for uploading presentations.

For up-to-date system requirements, visit www.macromedia.com/go/breeze_sysreqs.
