Editing SlideShows
SlideShows can be used to synchronise individual slides to a recording. For example,
a lecturer may record and upload a presentation to Planet eStream. The lecturer
can then upload the PowerPoint presentation used for the lecture and set each slide
to be displayed at a specified time within the recording. The slideshow can then be
viewed on Planet eStream alongside the recording.
