Exporting Your Project
All done? Now's the easy part!
When you've finished with all your captions and have saved your project, you're ready to export the project and create the files needed to play the integrated presentation. Since we used a Real Media file as our base media, we'll be exporting for RealPlayer - SMIL 1.0 format. Go to Export and choose it from the list.
In a flash, an alert box will appear to tell you what was saved and where.
Because you set up your folder before you began your project, you now have a nice neat package with all of the files you need: the base media (RealMedia), the MAGpie project (MAGPIE file), a RealText file, and a SMIL Multimedia Presentation.
The items in this folder all refer to each other, so you'll need to keep them together for the presentation to work and to re-edit the MAGpie project. If you are going to post these files to a server for others to view, it's not necessary to include the MAGpie project file, but the other three will need to live in the same folder together.
You can view your masterpiece by opening the .smil file with RealOne Player. If you're not happy with the results, you can return to the MAGpie project file, make changes and export again until you're satisfied.
Congratulations! You've just provided with world with much needed rich multimedia content that all sorts of people can enjoy. Spread the word!
