Using VLC for presentations..?
Posted: 18 Dec 2023 02:48
Hi,
[Disclaimer] Why am I doing this? Because it is 1000x more fool proof than any other alternative. Unlike with PDFs, I can have video inside my presentation. I can run it on EVERY hardware there is, etc. --- I was never unable to somehow run my presentation. Other people failed using stuff like Powerpoint, PDF, etc.
I am using VLC for presentations. I turn my slides into a video (every slide is 10 sec. in the Video). I can easily jump to a slide since I know the time stamp.
I just play the video and press play and pause if a slide should stay longer.
Usually I give test presentations and fine tune what I say and the pausing to the second! I would love to log all my actions (at least pause, play but also if possible skip to a certain time stamp (sometimes I want to go back to a slide during the presentation) and then skip forward). I would like to log all that info and then replay it automatically with VLC.
Is this somehow possible?
Thank you!
Carsten
