What is “E-Learning”?

“E-Learning,” or “online learning,” is the use of computer-based materials to provide

training content over a network, such as a company’s intranet. Many companies provide tests

for employment candidates, information for new hires, and training materials for current

employees.

How does StreamAuthor fit into e-learning?

StreamAuthor enables you to create rich-media presentations by combining images, video

and audio files, documents, and other file types with PowerPoint files or other slides. The

final presentation can be viewed in a browser window or as a stand-alone video file.

CyberLink StreamAuthor

The StreamAuthor Program

StreamAuthor can be run in two basic modes: Full-Screen mode or Studio mode. Each of

these modes, in turn, has several windows.

Full-Screen mode has the following windows:

• Presentation: record video/audio and slide presentations simultaneously. For more

information, see Presentation Window on p.17.

• Author: compile and organize your presentation. For more information, see Author

Window on p.29.

• Publish: compile your presentation in one of a number of different formats, then save

it to the destination of your choice. For more information, see Publish Window on

p.48.

Studio mode has the following windows:

• Studio: import video/audio clips as well as PowerPoint slides for presentation

authoring. For more information, see Studio Window on p.54.

• Capture: acquire video and audio from a wide variety of sources, including a

camcorder, TV, webcam, microphone, Audio CD, as well as on-screen motion. For

more information, see Capture Window on p.73.

• Author: compile and organize your presentation. For more information, see Author

Window on p.29.

• Publish: compile your presentation in one of a number of different formats, then save

it to the destination of your choice. For more information, see Publish Window on

p.48.

The appearance of the program and the available options depend on the mode, the open

window, and the template selected during the project file creation process.

Introduction

StreamAuthor Projects

Whether you have an entire project planned out in advance, or are experimenting with new

styles, StreamAuthor offers a number of options for creating exactly the presentation that

suits your specific e-learning requirements.

Project Types

There are a number of different possible presentation styles, requiring a slightly different

procedure to create each kind. The two basic styles are Full-Screen presentations and Studio

presentations.

Full-Screen presentations display one slide at full-screen, allowing you to project a larger

image of your presentation. These presentations are generally used with a live speaker.

Full-Screen Presentations are suitable mostly for:

• public speakers who are making speeches in front of an audience

• company meetings that need to be recorded and used for future training sessions

• sales presentations delivered to clients

Studio presentations display a smaller window - often with supplementary media.

Studio Presentations are suitable mostly for:

• presentations or training materials that can be accessed over the Internet or your

company’s intranet and viewed at leisure.

CyberLink StreamAuthor

Presentation Formats

StreamAuthor includes two presentation formats: CSS and Multiple Frame Window formats.

These are described in the following section.

CSS

Using the CSS format allows you to edit your project’s template as you work on the project

file. However, audience will be unable to resize the final presentation window. For more

information, see Editing CSS Templates on p.83.

Multiple Frame Windows

Using the Multiple Frame Windows format allows your audience to resize the final

presentation window. However, you cannot edit the template while you are creating the

project file.

Templates

The project template you use determines the number and position of slide windows and the

presence or absence of a table of contents, video file, audio file, etc. There are a number of

default templates in the StreamAuthor program, which you can either use as-is or copy and

customize to your specific requirements. For more on using templates, see Manage Templates

on p.39. For information on editing templates for customized use, see Editing CSS Templates

on p.83.

Encoding Profiles

An encoding profile determines the video/audio quality of your final presentation.

StreamAuthor allows you to select, copy and configure your own encoding profiles. For more

information, see Encoding Profiles on p.91.

Editing Clips in the Timeline

‘Editing clips’ is a broad term that encompasses a number of different functions: you can, for

example, trim unwanted sections from video or audio clips, adjust the color of a video clip,

and more. Since your presentation may contain audio portions as part of the imported video

clips as well as independent audio files in the Audio track - all of which have probably been

recorded at different levels - StreamAuthor also allows you to mix the audio levels of these

different clips to produce a more harmonious sound track for your presentation. All of the

editing processes that you can perform on the different types of media clips are described in

this section.

Split a Video/Audio Clip

You can split a video/audio clip into two clips at the current position of the Timeline slider.

clip can be stretched back to any length up to the original duration.

To split a video/audio clip, do this:

1. Select a clip in the Timeline.

2. Drag the Timeline slider to the point at which you want to split the clip.

3. Click . The clip is split into two independent clips that can be moved or modified

separately in the Timeline.

1. Select the clip in the Timeline.

2. Drag the Timeline slider to the point at which you want to perform the trim, then do one

of the following:
