    Software for displaying Information (text, images, clips...)?


    Hello.

    Is there software that allows me to automatically display various information?
    For example, for behind a shop window. Or guerrilla projection in public.
    Currently I try to tinker with image editing (black background, white text), which is awkward. No "good flow".
    Then i have to make a "diashow" video clip, but before i have to determine the red duration of every single text image. Etc..

    A simple software, for example with different modes.
    Scrolling text, page by page, etc ..
    Photos and videos can be used between text.
    Please do not say "Impress" or "Powerpoint".
    I do not want to design complicated single pages, I want to distribute text as simply as possible over the pages.
    Text change e.g. automatically after commas or points.
    Display duration of the text automatically (read duration).

    Hi there
    could you simply make a YouTube presentation -- you can insert text / etc.

    Then simply continuously display the YouTube presentation. You can modify it too from time to time if you need to.

    All you need to create is basically a webcam and a microphone (most decent webcams have a mic built in anyway).

    I was going to suggest Powerpoint as it's really not that difficult but you specifically didn't want that.

    There's plenty of info on the web about how to make a YouTube presentation.

    If it's just scrolling text you could use some hardware like they have say in some bars / railway stations etc. You just enter the text with some type of keyboard - you don't even need a computer.

    Cheers

    Webcam? Microphone? I need a 100% black background and white text (most efficient and best contrast...). And there is no "video" with me (webcam), and no sound .
    For example, imagine the Cologne cathredral with a beamer image on it. Text etc.

    "Hardware" is not usable, I will try a Sony beamer with 4000AL.
    These LED scroll text hardware, I could use behind the windows of a parked car.
    But a monitor is better, more flexible. OK, at the bright day, usual ~350 nits are a problem. Especially behind a tinted window. And monitors with 1000-1200 nits (my notebook) are rare. Especially used.


    Or imagine Erdogan caricatures on the cologne central mosque (pale, flat surface..., opened by "caliph Erdogan" last weekend, perhaps read/seen on BBC news etc.), interrupted by text, or a video (*) etc..
    For example, there is a video with a member of the German Federal Parliament, he reads the full insulting poem from late night talker "Böhmermann" against Erdogan (was in the English media, also an british insulting competition against Erdogan ;-] ) in the lower house. I have a self subtitled version. Big fat white german subtitles.
    And a version from youtube with burned in smaller english subtitles. Perhaps I will create also a english version with big subtitles.

    On the black pages with text, I can not write too small, it still has to be readable.

    I can drop a whole Text in Powerpoint, and he produce automatically sites with this text?
    If not, then it is easier to use "photoshop" like software.

    For sound i would prefere a "tricky" sound beam technology. A directional loudspeaker.
    Only noticeable in front of it (or under it).
    Physically it exits, but it seem, you can not buy ist. And there is also not a diy tutorial for a "sound cannon".
    That is noticeable, and there could be trouble ;-).
    But when the sound comes from the surface of the building or object, it will irritate people and policemen.
    Like in a Looney Tunes cartoon (i remember such scenes).
