Quickpreso is an attempt to make prototyping presentations be more like prototyping HTML pages. | ||

## Requirements ## | ||
|
||
To generate presentations, you need: | ||
|
||
* OS X 10.6 or higher | ||
* [ffmpeg][] | ||
|
||
The generated presentations use [Popcorn.js][] for syncing audio to video content. Currently, the audio is only produced in Ogg Vorbis format, so only Firefox and Chrome can be used to view presentations. | ||
|
||
[ffmpeg]: http://ffmpeg.org/ | ||
[Popcorn.js]: http://popcornjs.org/ | ||
|
||
## Quick Start ## | ||
|
||
1. Edit the [script.html][] to your liking. Each plain-text line is text to be narrated, while all HTML elements are slides that the narration voices over. | ||
|
||
2. Run `python quickpreso.py`. This will use OS X's `say` command-line tool to automatically generate audio for your narration and `ffmpeg` to convert the final audio to Ogg Vorbis. It also generates information about where slide changes occur in the narration. | ||
|
||
3. View [index.html][] in Firefox or Chrome. | ||
|
||
4. Repeat steps 1-3 as necessary until you're happy with your presentation. When you're finished, just upload everything in the `static-files` directory to a web server. | ||
