Hi,

Yes, if you export it as a video file that is compatible with your projector, you will get tranisitons, soundtrack, effects etc.  As long as it fits on the memory stick.  Just export it as a file and copy that file to your memory stick.

ps, I would export it as MPEG-4, smaller file sizes and pretty good quality.  Please make sure you try it using your projector before you show it so that you can make sure it plays exactly the way you expect it to.

Hi

Check with the venue what file formats the projector supports - it varies between projector makes - most support mpg.

If the projector supports mp4 even better - higher resolution and quality with a smaller file size.

Hi,

The best way now is to use a tablet, Samsung and iPad work great on projector using RGB like a monitor or HDMI, the only inconvenient you need adaptor but is a good investment. Always test with the projector before to find the best and compatibility.

Hi

@yvon-robert

This is not an option for the OP - . . . . .they have a projector but it only takes memory sticks . . . .

This is becoming a common occurrence at many venues with projectors due to insurance and Health and Safety requirements - there is a need to avoid trip hazards from trailing cables for power and signal to/from laptop/tablet wherever possible.

Hello,
Yes, it is easier to carry and use a memory stick versus a tablet or a laptop especially when traveling or in an exhibition. I was not a fan of tablets, I had my projector and my laptop and a memory stick. The last presentation knowing that all the college operated on iPad I had my iPad with all the possible presentations including my internet chip. The director had the RGB connector and what a joy to be able to respond in power points, pdf and use a combination of all products. The next day for my iPad and Samsung, I bought all connectors needed. Why? It is simple; rooms are equipped with giant screens, white boards and accept all the possible connections. My answer was not only dedicated to the USB key, but for the ones who will present conferences everywhere. The first rule is good preparation.

Regards,
