6.1. Adding resources to Sophie books
In this release of Sophie, to add media to a book you should use the Insert menu item. Clicking Insert reveals five options: Image, Text, Audio, Video, and PDF:
If you select Image, Audio, Video, or PDF, you'll be prompted to locate an appropriate file on your computer; when a file is selected, it will be imported into the Sophie book that's currently in focus.
The types of media that Sophie currently supports are:
- Images: JPG, GIF, PNG, PDF
- Video: AVI, MOV
- Audio: WAV
Note that not all media types that will eventually be supported by Sophie are functioning in this release. With video in particular there may be some trouble; not all AVI files, for example, may play correctly as some likely use codecs that are not currently supported by Sophie. Importing may behave strangely: all images, for example, are currently imported with the same height and width, which may not be what the image actually uses; this can be changed via the frame HUD. While PDFs can be imported in this release, only the first page will be displayed if there is more than one page in the file.
