This way is much more powerful, in that the desktop can be setup exactly how you like, and demo cleanly. And many demos should start or interact with the desktop or other apps.

10.3: Use fast user switching for easy demo / presentations
Nov 11, '03 09:42:00AM • Contributed by: Anonymous
I do something similar to the earlier hint about using Exposé with PowerPoint, but I use fast user switching and Keynote. I have one user that is "Presentation," and they have the presentation up. Another user that is "Demo," ready for demo use. You switch users, and do the demo, then switch back. If you're using the rotating cube for transitions in Keynote, the rotating cube in fast user switching feels so natural they hardly notice. It's even better if you turn off passwords for those two accounts.

Keynote - Quicktime export for easy switching
I haven't tried embedding scripts into Keynote yet, but I'm not sure it handles them? (Powerpoint does handle links) I wasn't able to fast-user-switch, Exposé or command-tab during my Keynote presentations either. So to have an elegant transition from Keynote to the app I'm demoing, I decided to export my Keynote presentation as a Quicktime .mov file. I then present it full screen using Quicktime player. Exposé and command-tab work fine there. If anyone has a better solution? Yannick.Personal site Incredible watercolors

I would appreciate if you could kindly share with me your idea of applescript embedding in quicktime to "fast user switch" from the user running Keynote to a user running a demo. |
