In this special edition of Michael on the Go I am joined by fellow road warriors Anish Patel and Brett Austin as we answer questions posted to my Facebook account. Today's question from a reader focuses on video editing tools as well as tips for users who need to use video in a presentation but may not be technically savvy with video editing. As we continue our 3 person road trip Brett Austin primarily fields this question talking about a hidden gem that he has been showing to customers along these lines that is now built right in to Microsoft PowerPoint. PowerPoint 2010 also has an additional capability that helps with social media efforts that is highlighted as well in this video clip. So grab some popcorn, turn down the lights and get set for some cinema presentation goodness ;-)
Next up in the final video from this road trip Brett and Anish discuss another new feature for PowerPoint presenters for pushing out presentations live over the Internet and even smart phone devices.

- To learn more about Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 visit the official PowerPoint blog web site here (They even just posted a video demonstration showing how to do video editing and styling in PowerPoint in a post titled Video Makeover)
5/27/2010I often have folks pinging me as to where a particular video is that I may have recently published. To help make discovery easier and provide an alternate access path I have created a video wall that displays the 60 most recently published videos all in a single, easy to peruse, view. I have also created a link at the top of the site directly to it. I hope you find this useful. Is 60 a good number? Should I have more? Less? Let me know.

In this episode of 3 Minute Adventures I discuss and demonstrate how, and why, to create videos using the power of Microsoft PowerPoint 2010. I then finish it all off by sharing it in the best place for sharing, a SharePoint 2010 Rich Media Library.

As a companion to my new Productivity Adventures video series I am also launching another series, 3 Minute Adventures. 3 Minute Adventures are short (3 minutes or less) focused video clips meant for busy bees who don’t have them time, patience, or inclination to swallow larger clips. Today I am kicking off the video series with an adventure showing how to create video content for your SharePoint environment using the most commonly utilized presentation tool in the world, Microsoft PowerPoint. I hope you enjoy the kickoff and the series :-)
Like 3/23/2010I spent the last 2 days on the road with my son taking him back to college in Ohio following his spring break. While on the road he did some experimenting with mobile video recording with his new Droid phone and we discussed a few tips around improving impromptu mobile video recording. In today’s geocast video, made possible with mobile video software from IncaX LiveMeida GPS I discuss those tips.

*Update: I have added a second Photosynth to my SharePoint dashboard page (yes the synths and geocasts are all being delivered as web parts in a standard SharePoint dashboard page). This one provides a synth view of the grand entrance to the Biltmore House grounds and is where I started my original house Photosynth effort. It is a pretty cool view so be sure to check it out.
My family and I recently went on vacation to Asheville, North Carolina, December 28th-30th. While there we toured the Biltmore Estate. Below you can get a glimpse of what we saw while at the estate by interacting with the Photosynth of the front of the building I created. I began my Photosynth at the top of a large hill facing the house and made my way down to it. I would love to return this spring/summer and redo it it but this time with all the vegetation in bloom and also create a more extensive one that goes around the entire building as well as the gardens. It is an amazing landmark and really blew me away.
Additionally, I have included 2 geocasts I created while at the estate as I created my Photosynth. My daughter Mary and I had taken off on our own little side adventure to climb the hill, explore, and create the Photosynth. The Geocasts were done in Sepia to give them an old time look and feel both to reflect the fact that the house was built in the 1800's as well as an experiment for my upcoming Productivity Adventures.
While viewing the Photosynth and the Geocasts try some of the different controls. In the Geocasts you can view elevation and speed among other things. Both applications can be downloaded and used for free for personal use.
Photosynth and LiveMedia GPS geocasting are both great examples of how SocialMedia can really increase the rich capture of information whether the event be a family vacation, inspecting of facilities, field reporting for news events and such. Both were created using common tools available to anyone, a smart phone (mine is an HTC Ozone running Windows Phone 6.1) and a digital camera.
