Synchronizing Your Tutorial with SMIL
le—called “slides.rp”—is a RealPix le. The
contents of the RealPix le appears to the lower
right. RealPix is a lot like SMIL; it’s a mark-up
language that makes it easy to dene transitions
like fade-outs and wipes between your images.
Notice that the RealPix le contains references
to three images, for a total of six visual media
les to be played with the audio le.
TIP: You may wish to create a skeletal
SMIL or RealPix le that sequences your
visual media without precise timing. Then
listen to your audio track, note the times at
which image transitions should occur and
modify the SMIL le accordingly.
Real Networks maintains excellent documen-
tation on producing multi-media presentations
with SMIL and RealPix. Refer to thier support
website (http://service.real.com/) for detailed
help les and to learn about more sophisticated
SMIL syntax.
