SCO0162 - Bee Docs Timeline & Timeline 3D

This week, I combine an application tutorial together with a real life example on how I've used it to create my presentation at this weeks New Media Expo.

The application is Bee Docs Timeline and Timeline 3D Edition - a fantastic Mac application that allows you to create beautiful timelines for printing, publishing, presenting or exporting as HD quality movies.

The main thrust of my New Media Expo presentation is a description of the journey I've taken since starting ScreenCastsOnline back in August 2005. Obviously, I settled on Keynote as the application to put the basic presentation together, but I needed something to create the central element of the presentation - the timeline. After being switched on to Bee Docs timeline by my good buddy, David Sparks of MacSparky.com, it became apparent straightway that this was the ideal application. Once I saw the 3D capabilities of the application, I was sold, and as for being able to export in HD Quicktime format so I could integrate with Keynote, well it doesn't get much better!

Interestingly, Bee Docs Timeline is not just restricted to pure chronology and has a whole bunch of importers built in to access different types of data and present them as a timeline, allowing you to view information in ways you may never have considered before.

So this weeks show (and it's a long one) takes you through:

• Creating a Simple Timeline
• Manually creating events on the timelime
• Formatting your timeline
• Printing
• Importing Events from iCal
• Importing Events from RSS
• Exporting your timeline to PDF
• Why a 3D Timeline?
• Exporting your Timeline to Keynote
• Exporting your timeline to Quicktime
• Integrating your Quicktime Movie with Keynote
