10.3: Use fast user switching for easy demo / presentations
Authored by: Hes Nikke on Nov 11, '03 11:54:45AM

ohh ohh ohh!!!

you can use an AppleScript embedded in a QuickTime Movie to have it fast user switch at a given point during your demo!!!

/me drools at the possibilities (i'm gonna be showing off panther next week at my UserGroup meeting)

vacuums do not suck. they merely provide an absence that allows other objects to take the place of what becomes absent.

Keynote - Quicktime export for easy switching
Authored by: mryannick on Jan 23, '04 05:50:32PM

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?

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.

Best,

Joao
