To create or play back a multimedia presentation, you need a little more than the standard computer system.
You need:
Hardware, such as a sound card, audio speakers, a CD-ROM drive, and a display device that supports at least 256 colors.
Drivers, which are programs (provided with Windows 3.1
or the hardware you buy) that enable your computer to communicate with multimedia devices.
Media files, which contain the sound, video clip, image, or animation you want to include in your presentation.

You add multimedia to a Compel presentation by defining a media link for a slide, or an object on a slide, to a clip. A clip is the segment of a multiemdia file that you want to play. To play a video or animation clip, you also define a viewer object to display the effect."
Like animating a Compel object, you can specify the event that triggers the multimedia effect. For example, you can play an effect when a slide is displayed, an object is clicked, or a particular function key is pressed..

Photographs and finely detailed illustrations can be stored as bitmaps that consist of tiny dots that together form an image. You can create bitmaps by using paint programs, scanning photographs or flat artwork, or digitizing video frames. To display such images, you need a monitor and screen display driver that can render the image accurately.
If you have a CD-ROM or videodisc player, you can take advantage of libraries of images, such as museum collections, that are available on these media.

A video clip is similar to a sound clip, except it
s a visual effect rather than an audible one. Compel supports video in either digital video format or as a video overlay from a videodisc.
To display video clips in your presentation, you don't need any special hardware. If you installed the Video For Windows driver when you installed Compel, you can play digital video in the .AVI file format.r to control the videotape or videodisc player.

Several animation software products are available that
allow you to create computer animation. Animation software is specifically designed to create effects that are laborious or impossible with conventional graphics programs, such as rotating objects in three dimensions or animating multiple objects at the same time.
Compel can play animation in any file format that complies with the MCI (Media Control Interface) standard.
