Site Production Notes

International Presentations:

• Link to Online Abstract NeuroExam, Clinical "Dissection" of the Nervous System: An Internet Accessible Tutorial for Medical Neuroscience. Presented at the August 2001 Slice of Life conference in Munich, Germany
  
• Link to Online Abstract Neurological Cases: A Tool for Testing Neuroanatomical Localization. Presented at the June 2002 Slice of Life conference in Toronto, Canada.

Movie Clips:

• Movie files: vary in size from 200K-15 MB
• Movie clip length: 10 seconds to 2 minutes
• Movies can be viewed at twice their screen size for presentation to large groups
  (Functional only on the site or a DVD-ROM)
• Downloaded movies retain their audio and captions
  

How were the audio and captions added to the videos?

• LiveStage Professional, an application from Totally Hip Software, Inc., was used to create interactive buttons ("sprites") on top of the graphic frame (created in Adobe PhotoShop).
• LiveStage was also used to program the actions for these buttons.
• The “sprites” and graphic layers were exported from LiveStage Professional as a QuickTime movie.
• Using QuickTime Pro, the graphics, sprites, video, audio, and caption tracks were then combined into a single QuickTime movie ready for delivery.
  

Optimal Website Performance for Video viewing?

• NeuroLogic Exam movies viewed directly from the website play best when the user is on a T1 line or running the 840 MB site from a DVD-ROM.
• Viewing movies over ISDN, Cable Modem or DSL is slower, but there is no loss of quality since the QuickTime movies are progressively downloaded.
• The user must have at least QuickTime 5.0.2 and its browser plug-in to view the movies.
• If you do not have Quicktime installed on your computer, download it for free using the following link...
  
  
• http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
  

How were the movies produced?

• Camera: Cannon mini DV XL1s
• Editing: Adobe Premiere 6
• HTML Authoring: Macromedia Dreamweaver 4
• Video Compression: Cleaner 5 using the Sorensen 3 codec at a 90:1 ratio
• Captions: Created with Cleaner 5 Event Streams authoring feature
