Creating a Presentation

Transferring Data

When transferring your presentation to CD/DVD Rom or USB Memory Stick make sure you include any external video clips or picture files utilized in your presentation. It is helpful to store all files associated with one presentation in the same folder.

Using Pictures

• JPEG (.jpg) images are the preferred file format over GIF (.gif) or Bitmap (.bmp).
• Resolutions higher than 72 dpi will not enhance the quality, they will only unnecessarily increase   the file size of your presentation.

Using Movies

• Save all Movies as MPEG (.mpg) or AVI (.avi)
• Use only standard compression codec’s used by Windows
• Include the actual MPG or AVI file in the folder that is submitted
• Please keep in mind that many videos can be as effective at lower resolutions

Fonts

• ONLY STANDARD WINDOWS installation fonts such as Arial, Verdana and Times Roman will   be supported.

For MAC Users

• Save all picture files as JPG or BMP NOT TIFF
• Save all movie files as MPG or AVI NOT QuickTime
• Remember to include the actual MPG or AVI file in the same folder as your presentation.
• Be sure to check the presentation(s) on a PC before submitting
• Use common cross platform fonts such as Arial, Courier and Times New Roman
• Limit animations, not all animations transfer cross platform
