Ubuntu – Presentation with many fullscreen video

libreofficeopenoffice.orgpresentationsoftware-recommendationvlc

I am currently creating a presentation (like power point). I have tried multiple applications to create this presentation but there are some problems.

I have tried

  • Ease: Program is not stable crashes randomly
  • OpenOffice: Works fine but video flickers in the beginning and don't pause in the end.

Thanks

I have previously done a presentation with VLC and a WiiMote.

VLC can display JPEG and PNG images as well. To pause after an item (especially images) add "vlc://pause:9999" below it in the playlist editor.

Information about getting a WiiMote to work can be found here:

It's a bit tedious, but not as hard as it may look.

The main draw of this approach is that VLC itself does not have any layout features, so that would have to be done in GIMP, Draw or similar. In any case: good luck!
