I am very happy with Premiere 6 and 6.5 and would like to make a projector "presentation" of stills and clips I have in the storyboard, NOT automated, such as 5 seconds each, or whatever in the timeline, etc. but accompanying a live talk or lecture, so that you just press a button to go to "next slide" on the monitor when you are done speaking about the current one.

Using Premiere in presentations

Thanks for the advice, but Power Point is not right for what I want. It cannot handle clips or effects, and has a one-button problem also. It is very strong in reducing everything to bullets, and also very expensive for non-business material. I'd rather use an old-fashioned slide projector

Hi - Yes, have used PowerPoint, and it does a lot of things like bullets, business graphics help, etc. that I don't need in my application. In Premiere, the time element and detailed control possibilities are already present, and I am learning how to apply effects in time, how to construct the timeline, using layers, etc. Going to another program just to obtain manual advance seems a lot of work.
Having a Premiere timeline of images ("slides"
A,B,C, ... what would be wrong with selecting an identical time for each, say 1 sec., exporting the sequence to miniDV tape, and controlling the manual feed to monitor or projector with the pause button, either through device control on the computer or on the DV camcorder itself?

You can do fades and stuff as well in Power Point. Suggest you go on over to and actually read what it can do. There is a lot of transistions that you can do in Power Point.

I think what you looking for is to make screen shots of the various points of editting in Premier and importing them into a presentation software to use for your presentation.
Yes Powerpoint is kinda basic, but its all you need actually. Powerpoint isnt really just for business graphics and bullets. The fact that it can handle pictures very well should give you a solution. And, adding a "NEXT slide" feature is a total no-brainer.
Unless of course you want the splendor of highly animated presentaion, then head on to Macromedia Director or Flash for your solution. I am sure that'll take more of your time to create the presention slides then actually preparing for you presentation.
I do hope you this could change you preception that Powerpoint is a worth-less coporate tool that has no other usage. Maybe Havard Graphics was (I second u on that!) but definately not Powerpoint.
Try pressing "printscreen" in the premire window and then "ctrl + v" in blank powerpoint slide for your snapshots.
Hope this helps.

Hi Doggamit - Thanks for your good advice. My trouble is that I use WordPerfect, not Word. I have MS Ofc Small whatever edition which includes MSWord and Excel but does not include Powerpoint, and find that PP is not sold by itself, so that I would have to pay over $350 for duplicating MS Ofc which includes Powerpoint. Am I wrong?
Anyway, that is why I was looking for a way out. Also, I have spent 5 years learning Photoshop 3>>>7 and am very comfortable with its effects, and am now spending tons of time learning Premiere, which shares the same layers and effects.
I know PP is everywhere and probably won't be able to escape it. but sure would like a more reasonable price.
Thanks again
Edwin

I hear you on the fact that MS products are overly priced. That is the main reason I extensively experimenting with Linux as a probable OS replacement. Only drawback now is that I cant find a worthy enough replacements for wonderfull programs like Photoshop(been with it since ver4 till now), Premier (yup its my main vid editing tool) and Freehand.
I'd like to introduce you to a program that is very similar to MS Office. Its developed as open-source and best of all, its FREE. Also, it supports MS Office files and it's saved files can be opened in MS Office. The OpenOffice suite consist of Write (MS Word clone), Spreadsheets (MS Excel clone) and Impress (Powerpoint clone).
Try
DO give it a go.
Cheers

Eamc - if you already have office, you can pick up Power Point for only $99 on the upgrade.
You should be able to just upgrade to a Power Point.
