Everything is very simple!
1. The very first fairy tales I did on a laptop (under Windows), the example of Tales Russian Folk, Magic - Scarlet Flower, with the help of the following programs:
a) Adobe InDesign CS5.5 - the main program into which all previously prepared files (pictures, audio, video, page formatting) are "inserted";
b) Adobe Photoshop CS3 - speaks for itself. Preparation of pictures (cleaning, quality improvement, text insertion, etc.). In general, I try to use high-quality scans, or ready-made books in PDF or DJVU formats, but as life has shown, Photoshop cannot do;
c) Nero 8 Wav Editor - cutting audio into page-by-page fragments. If possible, I try to use high-quality audio books that are read by professional and well-known artists. When I do not find something, I dictate / read it myself. Cut fragments save in MP3, mono, 128 kb / s
d) Total audio converter - conversion of cut audio fragments into MP3 with similar parameters. I do not know why, but the MP3 files saved in Nero are not perceived by the iPad.
e) KMPlayer (free) - capture video clips from full-length cartoons and save them as avi.
f) Video Studio - to insert various effects into video slices (for example, at the beginning and at the end, so that it is beautiful).
g) FormatFactory (free) - conversion of finished video clips from avi to MP4.
2. Now I use a special application from the App Store - Book Creator for iPad (application in Russian), an example of Tales Russian folk, magic - About Ivanushka the Fool:
a) Book Creator is a special iPad application for creating books with built-in multimedia functions (a kind of collector / designer where pre-prepared files are inserted), but:
- Allows you to embed audio from both the iTunes Library on the iPad itself, and to read the text yourself. If I find high-quality audio, then, if I have a laptop at hand, I cut it, as indicated above (also with video). The program is paid, but I bought it myself.
b) preparation of pictures, audio, video, see above, pp b) - g).
The site developer Book Creator has a detailed description of all the processes of creating books with all the parameters (pictures, audio, video, drawing, typing, formatting, etc.). Everything is very accessible and intelligible (on the developer’s site we choose Support).
