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 dene 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.
