I have been an Apple/Mac person for a long time. I owned an Apple IIe, and several other Mac’s and Apple Computers over the years. I don’t want to start an argument about which is better, but I would like to share a recent experience that illustrates why I like my Mac.
I was working on my presentation for the MACUL 2010. I was using a Keynote for the presentation. Keynote is similar to PowerPoint. When I finished the presentation, I decided I wanted to put it on the web. I wanted PC and Mac people to be able to view it. Since the Keynote presentation had a movie embedded in it I decided to post it as a movie. That way you could see the movie within a movie. Here is how I did it.
- I exported the Keynote presentation as a movie.
- I wanted to add audio. I opened the movie in iMovie and added two short recordings to the movie.
- iMovie allows you to share your movies directly to YouTube. So I shared it to YouTube.
My presentation was on the web with the added audio in less than ten minutes. What I liked about doing it on a Mac was that all the programs worked together to make my job easier. I am sure you can do this on a PC, but I am not sure it would be as easy to do. You can view the movie at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSVzVW7AeTo
That’s way I like my Mac.
