just made my first showit slideshow and now i just need to convert it to an flv file for my blu site - my husband has been looking for software to convert it - for a mac - but hasnt found anything yet

any suggestions? i'm so anxious to get my slideshow up, i can't stand it!!!!!

thanks,

Hi Tami,

Visual Hub will do it....

Best Regards,

If FLV is a flash video file, it won't work. Showit Web shows are not video files. If you try to convert it you'll end up with a blank screen.

You can run a screen capture program as the show is running and then convert that to a video format.

You can just embed the Showit Web slideshow into Web sites, which would be an easier way to do it. But I don't know if Blu has some weird thing going where you can't do that.

adam, so bsically i just purchased the 'video' section for my blu site for nothing right? if really all i have to do is load it into my ftp and create a section, then just send out the link to my clients?

i specifically asked blu if this was what i needed to use my 'showit' slideshows and they basically just loaded it into my site and charged me $150 without really asnwering my question.....

Yup.

jim, you need a spankin! you knew this the other day didntcha?

Yup.

wannabes. pffft.

You can capture the show it web video with snapzprox ( http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/ ) and convert it with Visual Hub...

Just like I said earlier. I can't remember if Tami is on a Mac or Windows. I have no idea of any screen capture apps for Windows, so I didn't specify any. SnapZProX is a great program for this, but it's only for Mac.

ummm -- but why go to all that trouble of screen capturing a showit slideshow? Seems like taking the long way going around the world just to get to the corner market.

dont worry, we have figured it out - i can't have my showit shows displayed on my website, but i can give clients the links. we figured out how to load it into the ftp thingy.

basically blu sold me the video add on to my website, when i did not need it, nor could i use it, even though i ASKED them BEFORE i requested it.

Just in case you wanted to turn it into a DVD for a pre-school because they liked their wedding pictures.

Is that because of the feud they are having with DJ? From their rant on DJ's blog they wrote:






I just use the F-word software for that.
