App Missing From iPad
billbruen replied to billbruen's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Thanks for the reply.....I’ve tried a download from the Store again......this time it worked......don’t know what was going wrong before. -
I’ve purchased the App, but it doesn’t appear to download (at least, I can’t see it on my iPad) billbruen

Bri-Toon my head has been in a bit of a whirl since I first thought of 'helping' my friend.....in some ways I'm sorry I ever had this idea!! I start off thinking/assuming I needed Presentation software to do the job (I already own PTE De Luxe)......however, further thought and comments from toltec indicated that, maybe, video editing software or PowerPoint was, maybe, a better option? Your introduction of Spark into the mix was yet another option. I've given Spark an initial look and it's very impressive (with simplicity of use being its cornerstone I think). Not sure how I would get my files into Spark.....will just have to give it a try. I particularly like that I can just talk over each image as I bring them in.

I don't want to cancel my Adobe membership Bri-Toon.....I need Photoshop etc for my photography work. I also didn't mean I was averse to using PowerPoint (I own two standalone versions)....I just don't see how it would help me. Converting back from pdf to PP comes with a few problems and I'm trying to keep my workload with this whole project, as low as possible.

I too am not a fan of Subscription software, although, after much soul-searching, I did finally subscribe to Adobe CC. My current problem is slightly unusual. I am taking a show created by somebody else (in PP I think, then converted to pdf). I've now converted the pdf to jpg images and I'm trying to create a new show, with maybe some extra comments on the pages....maybe some totally new pages. Eventually I want to publish it as a manually run show with an (optional) audio commentary. The material is educational and people will want to browse each slide at their own pace.....make notes etc. As an added extra, I'm wondering whether a Narration could be added to each slide, as a benefit to those with poor eyesight and the whole shebang be uploaded to YouTube? Or, would I have to record the narration myself and have it play in conjunction with the slide? I'm not an expert in any of the softwares involved here and being selfish!, keen to spend as little as possible and make the task as easy as possible for myself.....although I'm not averse to learning some new skills along the way. I've not been pushed into this project.....just seeing if I could improve a little on the current show and surprise the author.

Well, what it does is, basically, runs rings around PSG! The Basic PTE is the same price as PSG, so that's not a problem and getting hold of PowerPoint is not exactly cheap. You can produce a pretty good show with Basic. I did use PSG some years ago, but it had issues then and Customer Support was very poor. If you want to get into the relative merits of this kind of software, (I don't), you can read some interesting comments here..... http://bit.ly/2ywQNpI I would agree, (with the comments in the link), that most professional slideshow producers seem to favour PTE. But, it's horses for courses isn't it? You find PP best for what you do....which is fine.....other people will prefer presentation software or video editors for what they do.....which is equally fine.

I don't know whether Affinity/Serif have software for this, so thought I'd ask.....maybe someone knows of a better approach? I have a pdf file which is made up of a series of 'PowerPoint-like' slides. I want to add an audio commentary to each slide and eventually publish the whole presentation on YouTube. This work is being done as a favour and I don't have the inclination to massively rework the 'slides'.....it's a large pdf 250 odd 'slides'. Any ideas on the best way forward with this problem? Apart from the single pdf file, I have also converted the pdf slide 'pages' into individual jpeg images.
