That's right. The lack of a 'pause here for N' feature is the main
practical issue with using it for real presentations. It can be done
afterwards in a video editor, of course, but adding it to the UI
probably wouldn't be hard.

In practice when using aven in real presentations I normally find it
more useful to have static screenshots in the slides, and a series of
windows set up with corresponding pre-set centre points and views,
that can be waved about a bit to illustrate what you are atalking
about. That works with a projector or with 'share screen', but not
with 'share window'.

If aven had a 'load file foo, with station X selected and view
<direction>, and distance measured to stn Y, and these things visible'
set of options that might be useful for presentation-type work. Or
'load aven with this config' which could include all the settings like
perspective and passages and what is visible and so on. Then a
presentation could be driven by a script.
