Hello,
Working for a number of clients here in Ireland and producing in-house kiosk
style advertisng displays for viewing on Large 42" + Plasma Screens and
smaller 19"-32" LCD's.
Using PPT 2003 and computers with
Semptron AMD 2400+ cpu, 256 mb ram, 40 GB HDD onboard 64mb VGA
Long Winded Question Time Coming up:
We design about 200 custom slides per client running at 1024 X 768 @ 72 dpi
Slides designed in Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and a 3d package, also
using those great files from the Animation Factory.
The Presentations are editable by the client, where they can alter certain
text and rearrange the slides ad hoc.
However..... the file sizes are very very big. We've only had problems with
one client and the replacement of the memory card has solved this. (So not a
PPT problem, even though it took us a week of rearranging the presentation,
thinking it was a PPT glitch...not so.)
The files are between 20/30mb and can be up to 99mb in size, saved as a PPS.
Am I making problems for myself & the clients by designing the presentations
with huge file sizes or are these file sizes about normal for this type of
work.
I plan to incorporate video into the presentations in 30/40 second segments
and as this will increase the file size yet more I'm just concerned about if
there is a "safety limit" for PPT & PPS file sizes.
Thanks for your help, I have learned so much from this group.
God Bless,
