There is an explosion of activity around webcasts. This year I have had a ton of webcast projects – most involving PowerPoint content. The good news is PowerPoint once again finds itself at the center of the universe. The even better news is that software to make PowerPoint presentations web-ready are continuously being added to the mix. The bad news is most PowerPoint designers know very little about streaming media and are unprepared when the almost inevitable request to create a webcast from a presentation is put forth.
So there is at least one place to go and do a quick study of Streaming media/webcasts I have put together an eight part series on the topic. Check back as we cover all the behind-the-scenes “basics” about streaming media over the next week!
