As a followup to last night’s post about the introduction of the Mac version of Qarbon ViewletBuilder (incidentally there’s also a Linux version, but I have no way to play with that), I was able to sucessfully import the ViewletBuilder project I created with my iBook into my Windows version of the software to add narration.
(Mac_Test_viewlet_swf.html (1.9K)). (sorry about the large screensize – this was captured at 1024×768 – normally I capture at a smaller screensize to ensure it will all display nicely within 1024×768 rather than taking up the entire screen).
I did notice one or two little artifacts on the cursor movement, but it didn’t happen throughout, so it may require a little more testing. Please let me reiterate – there is NO production value on this; I just wanted to see if it’d cross platforms to allow me to add audio 🙂
I have also just received confirmation from a Senior VP at Qarbon that if you purchase either the Windows or Mac version, the license key will work in both versions, so assuming you also have a Windows machine handy, this does seem like a good way to capture everything you need to on the Mac, and then use Windows to add the audio component. Not a perfect solution, but certainly a serviceable one!
