If you want to have an Entrance effect, an Emphasis effect AND an Exit effect, then this video shows you how.

The type of Animation you have used, determines how you remove it. See how it’s done.

Motion Path effects deal with the way an object moves around the screen. Never seen a penguin fly? Keep watching!

Exit effects deal with the way that an object leaves the screen. Let’s take a look at some of those effects.

Emphasis effects take place on objects that are already on the screen. Let’s take a look at some of those effects.

If you only want to use a piece of an audio track, then you have the capability to trim it down. This video shows you how.

This video brings you through the steps required, to insert an Audio track into a Presentation.

This video shows you the steps to insert a video from YouTube. But just because you can, it doesn’t mean you should! This video will also explain why it’s not always a good idea.

Rather than starting with a black screen on the video, we can set an image to be the Poster Frame, the starting image. This video shows you how to do just that.

Rather than having the video sitting very obviously on the slide – we’re going to set it up, so that the video takes up the full screen, when we go into Slide Show view.

When you go into Slide Show view, you might prefer the video to start playing automatically. This video shows you how.

When a video is trimmed, you’ll find that the sound cuts in very sharply. Fading in and out the sound, will take care of that problem.

If a video is too long, it can be trimmed down here, directly in PowerPoint. This video brings you through those steps.

Learn how to connect to a video that is stored on your computer.

Compressing pictures reduces the size of the overall presentation. See the difference it makes with our four slides.

PowerPoint provides an excellent background removal tool for our Pictures. This video shows you how to use it.

Did you know that you can Crop a picture to a Shape? Well, you can and this video will show you how!

Sometimes you just need to cut parts away unwanted pieces of a picture. This is done by Cropping – which we’ll look at in this video.

Look at some of the amazing affects provided by PowerPoint, to work with Pictures.

See how to make a picture the Background of one slide, or all slides, in a Presentation. Also see how to manipulate the Transparency of the picture – so that the text is not obscured by that Background.

Watch this third example of a real-life diagram being created, using some of the techniques that have been shown throughout this lesson.

Two or more Shapes can be joined together, to create a completely new Shape – see the steps you need to take, to achieve this.

If you have the wrong Shape on the screen, you can substitute it for another one, without having to delete the original first. If you want to ‘adjust’ a Shape to create a completely new Shape, you can do that too!

Learn the different options that are available for Rotating an object – or even for Flipping it over!

Watch this video to discover the different ways you can quickly line up your Shapes.

Individual objects can be Grouped together to make a single object. This video shows you how to Group 4 objects together – then how to Ungroup them.

If you put out multiple Shapes onto a slide, you might not be aware that they ‘layer’ in the order they are brought out. This video shows you how you can re-order those layers, if you need to position them on top of each other.

This video shows two ways to create a copy of a Shape, but the second way includes a tip to quickly repeat that second Shape and its distance from the original.

Sometimes you need the centre of a Shape to be perfectly positioned at a certain point on a slide. The easiest way to do this is to draw the Shape out from its centre point.

If you want to create a perfect circle using Shapes, then this video will show you how to do just that.

If you want to create a perfect square using Shapes, then this video will show you how to do just that.

Sometimes when you select bulleted text, it all goes horribly wrong! This is a tip to show you how to avoid those problems.

If you don’t want to shrink the size of the bullets, then you need to move the text away from those bullets. This video shows you how this is done.

When you change the type of bullet you use, you’ll find that the new bullets are quite large. This video will show you how to resize those bullets.

Do bullets really need to be black? No, they don’t! Let’s see how we can change the bullet colour.

Has your company purchased bullets from an Internet site? If so, this video shows you how to apply them.

The standard black bullet is not the only bullet in town! Learn where to find alternative bullet types.

If you want to customise the Handouts that you are planning to give to an audience, then it’s a good idea to send those Handouts to MS Word, where you have much greater formatting ability. This video shows you how.

You might want to print out the Notes that you have written in a presentation, or you want to print Handouts to give to the audience. This video shows you where to make those choices.

Sometimes you will be asked to print out the presentation that you are giving. This video shows you some of the choices available to you.

Once everything has been applied to the presentation, then it’s time to run through the Slide Show. It is vital to check the content – and importantly – the presentation of that content.

We’ve seen how to change the direction of an Animation such as we applied to our bullets, now let’s see how to change the direction of a Transition.

Transitions are the way that a slide appears onto the screen rather than the individual objects. We’re going to see how easy it is to apply Transitions.

We’ll look at applying more Entrance Animations to the other slides within the presentation.

Learn how to change the order that Animations appear onto the screen. We’ll use the bulleted text to show this, but it works in the same way for any items that you Animate.

When you choose ‘Fly In’ Animation, the bullets automatically arrive in from the bottom of the slide. We’re going to see how we can change that direction.
