Putting KidPix Slideshows Online
We have long promoted Kid Pix and Kid Pix Slide Show as great authoring tools for young learners. Here is a way to use Kid Pix Slide Show in a new way.
Kid Pix Slide Show allows a series of Kid Pix images (or other images) to be saved as a Quicktime movie. This movie will include the sounds and transitions used in the slide show. While not the application assumed by The Learning Company, these movies can be displayed within web pages.
First, you must convert the movies created by Kid Pix.
- Open the movie with Quicktime Pro.
- Save the movie as "Self Contained" with the suffix .mov (not the .moov suffix used by Kid Pix)
- Insert the movie within a web page using a web authoring program (you can view the source code for this page for sample html code - note that we use a poster movie)
This video presentation requires Quicktime.
