For the Fast-Forward Posters Preview on Monday, July 7th, you'll have 60 seconds to give a short preview of your poster. Include whatever you want, just make sure it fits on 2 slides, comes in under 60 seconds and runs on either PowerPoint 2003 or 2007 under Windows XP. We'll be compiling all the slides into a complete presentation with strictly enforced timings.
Fast-Forward details:
The session will be held on Monday, July 7th, from 17.50-18.30 The slides are due on Friday, June 27th Please use this template.
Formatting
The format of the slides should be as described in the template. Please avoid changing the font and text sizes. The layout of the slide can be changed to suit your needs. You do not need to provide a title slide. We will be inserting slides with the paper title, authors, and institution. Timing
The default timing for the slides is an automatic transition after 30 seconds. If you would like a different timing on your slides, then please change the transition times on the slides, but do not exceed the allotted 60 seconds. Slide presentations that go over time will have their timing reduced. All slides will have automatic timing turned on, so please be mindful of the precise timing of your presentation. Movies and Media
Please make sure you include any external media files with your slides.
The presentation will run on a Windows XP machine with DivX and Media Player 10 codecs installed. If adhering to the standard Windows XP codecs, your videos should run as they are. QuickTime or any other external viewers are FORBIDDEN in fast-forward session.
If your video requires alternative codecs, we can not guarantee that it is going to work. However, if an alternative format can not be avoided, please provide a Readme.txt with information about the required codec, so we can try to include it into the presentation.
Please test your movies in PowerPoint XP before submitting them. Movies should reside in the same directory as the PointPoint file. Any movies that do not play will either be removed or replaced with a screenshot. Movies and other multimedia slide components that go over the allotted time will be removed and replaced with a screen shot. Please trim and media files down to match the timing of your slides. If you're having trouble encoding your videos we recommend using VirtualDub: http://www.virtualdub.org/
