Chapter 2:
Creating a Presentation
This chapter describes the steps required for creating your
presentation: collecting media files (including importing files and
recording audio), arranging the slides in your presentation,
editing slides, and previewing your presentation.
The final step after a presentation is created - exporting - is
discussed in Exporting on p.27.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Collecting Multimedia Files on p.12
• Arranging Your Presentation on p.17
• Adding Effects on p.19
• Previewing Your Presentation on p.25

CyberLink Medi@Show
Collecting Multimedia Files
The first step in creating your presentation is collecting the media
files that it will contain. Medi@Show offers two methods of
collecting media files for use in your presentations: importing
and recording. You can import photo, video, and PowerPoint
files and record audio from a microphone or rip from an Audio
CD.
Importing
There are two ways to import files into Medi@Show:
• Wizard-based importing
• Manual importing
Wizard-based importing is the easiest method to use - especially
for users new to Medi@Show - as it automates several different
tasks.
In manual importing, you import, set your background music,
and specify your playback settings as individual tasks.
Once imported into the Library, file types are distinguished by
the coloring of their outline border:
• Blue: Photo file
• Pink: Video file
• Green: PowerPoint file
12
Chapter 2: Creating a Presentation
Wizard-Based Importing
The Medi@Show Film Wizard prompts you to import, set your
background music, and specify your playback settings in a single
process. Unless you check the Do not show this Wizard at

Medi@Show Film Wizard automatically runs each time you open
Medi@Show.

Wizard opens.

• Import directory: Imports all of the video, image, and
PowerPoint files in a folder.

Note: You must import files to continue.
5. Select your playback settings, then click Next. For more
information, see Playback Settings on p.26.
