MediaShout vs. PowerPoint

Joined: 02/27/2007

OK, we're currently using PowerPoint for services but are looking into MediaShout. We don't really need all of MediaShout's ability to import music &c., since we're currently assembling our services using CPH's Lutheran Service Builder. (We're liturgical.) We export into PowerPoint format, and would then presumably import the ppt into MediaShout.

So I know we can add animated backgrounds, which ppt can't, and maybe some extra transitions, but I'm wondering what specific effect MediaShout could have on our service slides that we can't already do with PowerPoint?

e.g. Can MediaShout do something like a Ken Burns effect with an image or other kinds of animations, or does that all need to be done with an external editor & imported as video?

Wow me.
