That's an interesting point about the placement of the video and the slides. We are experimenting with some ideas for the placement and relative sizes.

This solves a big problem that I have with video - personally I hate video to learn from, but only because you can't skim through before you decide to devote some time to concentrating on it :)

Your software solves this problem - great!

Just one thing that occured to me - I had to scroll down to see the space reserved for the person speaking, I would prefer something a bit more like powerpoint, and have a column on the right hand side, with the video headshot at the top and the navigation in the column below.

This is a great way to enhance the person speaking's credibility, and I think they should get "joint billing" with the slide :) it cuts down on the eye tracking required and makes it more personal too.

Excellent product, I think it's great. Good luck with adding in the future ideas - will stop by again and see how you're coming along.
