Maybe I’ll post a picture of it some other time. Some wonderful state craftsmen, sidelined by winter lulls, built it to my sketch-up drawn specs from a discarded “burned” plasma screen, scrap wood and spare CAD workstation parts from the surplus warehouse. By doing the Kahuna plus a live switch, I turned a 2- hour, 3-man job into a 1-hour, 1 man job and shaved about four hours edit cleanup time, per lecture. We call it “The Big Kahuna”, and it makes the most illegible powerpoint slide immense and gives the lecturer perfect eye contact *thru* his material, into the lens, even at some distance. I can prompt Stevie Wonder with this bad boy. Hope this helps you out, only fair since you showed the cute ppt trick earlier. This will flip the horizontal for you the vertical, you take care of by putting the plasma or LCD screen in “upside-down” in the prompter head. Well, me too, as we just built a 42-inch plasma-based, 2-camera teleprompter (2 cams close together inside, one wide, one tight, for live-switched recordings of people doing ppt lectures) and what we got (not tested yet) is this: Go through each image and do these steps and magically you’ve reversed or mirror-imaged your powerpoint. The little image looks like two pyramids with an arrow floating over the top of them.ħ. Select ‘format’ and then ‘arrange’and then ‘flip horizontal’. It will re-import the jpegs directly on top of the existing powerpoint, only now instead of slides you have jpegs.Ħ. Open your original presentation and chose “import” and “photo album”. It will tell you it has save each and every slide in new file folder and where that file folder is.Ĥ. It will prompt you “this one slide or entire presentation?” You want the entire presentation.ģ. Hit “save as” and save the presentation as jpegs. Its hard to find free prompter software but it does exist and also lets you use your browser as a prompter and lets you control the speed and stop start. Problem is when you import powerpoints into the teleprompter they are reversed. Making a useful working teleprompter with PowerPoint is not easy especially if you are not skilled. Now my company loves…and I mean loves…powerpoint.
