Overview of the nanoHUB Production Process

The currrent technologies that the nanoHUB uses to make your presentation available online are: 1) Adobe-Macromedia Presenter (formally known as Breeze) which creates a Flash based version of your presentation, 2) Adobe Acrobat PDF as a companion copy of your presentation slides, 3) podcast in video and/or audio formats. To create these final forms of your presentation we need in addition to the live video recording, your Powerpoint file and any needed movie files. We do not make these specific materials available online they are only used in the preperation process. The primary purpose of the video recording is to allow us to sync your voice to your slides. In most cases it is not made available for public viewing.

In addition to providing us with your Powerpoint and movie files, we ask that you create a nanoHUB login if you do not already have an account. As a contributor we connect your nanoHUB login to your presentation thereby giving you future control to edit your presentation. To create a nanoHUB account please visit http://www.nanohub.org/newaccount

The video with a few exceptions is used only in the syncronization process. The video is not posted to the nanoHUB. There are legacy presentations that are supplied on the nanoHUB as video streams.
