Transcripts

1. Introduction: Hello and welcome into creating videos in PowerPoint course eight, step-by-step guide on preparing, animating, recording your voice over and exporting a ready 60 FPS video you could use for any platform. Within this course, we'll prepare to get their videos just like the ones you saw in the preview. My name is Andrew, and if you decide for it, we'll be working together on your video creation skills. I've prepared unique templates and the resources to work on. We will add our own voice-over at transitions, prepared text animations and many other things related to video creation. Start turning your ideas into animated reality using PowerPoint. If you are up for it, join me on the other side and then all the cores, and let's go to work. 2. Assignment: Hello and welcome in this assignment lecture, where I'll talk about the project. As you can imagine, an animation class like that heavily relies on creating the products and animation with me when you follow along the lectures, you can make it easier for you by going to the product type and downloading the resources here on Skillshare. Of course, this is subject to change. Skillshare might change, the researchers might change, but they will be always available somewhere within the Resources tab. Once you have all that sorted, you've prepared the animation. I would like you to create a project for this class. You need to save the presentation as a GIF or JPEG first, let me give a brief explanation of how that works. How to make a screenshot of your presentation. Well, that's pretty simple. You can export any presentation to JPEG files. Go to File. Export, either create a GIF or Change File Type. And I have here images like PNG or JPEG if you don't see them here, if you have an older version of PowerPoint, just save as and from the safest type, you can select JPEG. Once you have your files, just create a project. You can give the product a title, my cool animation. And remember, you can give it a thumbnail and the content itself. For the thumbnail, I will select one of the existing slides submit. And here I want to sharing my slides as well. I'm pressing on image. I will insert the slides I want to showcase here and they will upload. You can publish the product for other students to see it. I would greatly appreciate if you did that, it will be really great to see what you've been working on. Let us start to have some fun with animation within the next lecture, right away. 3. 02-01. In and Out: Within this lecture, we will discuss adding multiple animations, as you can see here on the right, to one shape. If you download it, unpacked and prepared the resources, there'll be a folder called animation. I'll open the folder with the animation part, and I will just double-click to open this file. Now the dark slides will always show you what you need to do. The white slide is the place where you were. Here. You will try to practice and emulate what I did within this lecture. A quick note before we dive deeper, I'd like to touch on the differences in the Mac version. So every user can benefit equally from this course. On the Windows version, we have animation options here on the top-right side. Or if we double-click on an individual animation, we have the delaying options, trigger options, individual Effect Options, and animation options. This will all come later. What I wanted to actually inform you about is that on the mat version, it's slightly different, but we have the same functionality. Within this animation pane. We have the Effect Options, the timing options, which include the duration and delay, the trigger and text animations here on the right side where we can expand and collapse individual segments. Hopefully, Microsoft will make the Mac version and the Windows version in the future completely alike. But until they do, we have to use this panel and these options on the right side. The first lecture, you need to apply three animations to this one object in the middle. As you can see, I've used the flying animation. We can move the mouse here to see what animation I've applied. And I've added multiple animation onto this one object. You can see this icon informs you that multiple animations are stacked on top of each other. So let's finally work. Alright, go to the second slide. You can watch the lecture and do this later or try to work along. I will select the first object and I'll insert a flying animation to it. You can see it's flew from the bottom. So I'll change the Effect Options of this slide and animation. These are effects options that can be changed and I will select them from left. Alright, now I want to add another animation on top of it. In my case, since I used the Windows version, it is made by clicking on Add animation and then adding, for example, the pose animation. If I'm not mistaken in PowerPoint format, you need to deselect the animation, which is basically deselecting the object, clicking on it again, and you can apply the next animation on top of it. For the Windows version, I've applied to animations, to this one object. I want to place another animation on top of it. I will go to Add animation again. And this time I'll select fly out. The red animations represent the exit animations. You can see by default it again and goes to the bottom. But I wanted it actually to fly out to the right side effect options to right. And I've applied three different animations to this one object. In the next lecture, I want to show you how to change the way the animation plays and the duration and delaying. If you don't know much about animations yet, don't worry, I will explain everything step-by-step so you can follow along. See you in the next lecture. I will wait there. 4. 02-02. Delaying: In this lecture, we will discuss how to take the animations and delay them so they don't start at the same time. Hello again. I hope you've added the three animations and we can now proceed. If I go to the blank slide and you can always preview what you want to achieve. Here, I went to achieve, as you can see, delaying the animations so they don't start on top of each other. It's important that we go here to the animations. And I've already pre-prepared almost what we did on the previous lecture. What I changed is selecting all the animations by clicking on the last one, pressing Shift and clicking on the first one. So all animations will be selected. And I just right-click and select width previous. I don't want to start onclick because I don't want to click each time and animation should happen. I want everything to happen automatically. And this is exactly where we're going. If we want to create animated explainer videos over any kind of animated videos, you kind of want everything to work automatically. I selected start with previous. Started previous is perfect because we can apply manually in any type of delay we want. Here. I will delay the second animation by 1.5 seconds. I will delay the last animation by three seconds. I can do this by hand, or I can just press three Enter and it will delay itself forward. You can also click here and move it that way. But it's a bit inconvenient because it's difficult to position it properly. Hero, you need to be very precise to position a deadweight. I have also extended their duration, but this doesn't have to be done. I've selected all of them again, and I can extend and reduce the duration of the entire animation. That way, if I press Shift F5, you can see we have Animation number one, the poles. And a couple of moments later, it flies away from the screen. This is what I want you to create in this lecture. I want you to select this object open to Animation Pane and delay the animations. So they happen one after another. Rather than without any delay, where three animations would start on top of each other, open the bright blue slide, and try achieving the same result. 5. 02-03. Smoothing: Let us discuss smoothing some animations in PowerPoint allow you to add a smooth start, smooth, and bounce, and which can dramatically improve how your animations look. If we go on the dark slide, I have the same animations of light to boat object. If I preview this slide, you can directly notice that one object goes faster and one object goes slower. This is smoothing of the animation. And I want to emphasize not all animations can be smooth. I hope I'm pronouncing that kind of properly. If I double-click on a given animation that I have in the animation pane, which is an animation applied to this object, I will double-click on this animation. If I go to effect options, I have smooth start, smooth and, and bounds. And I can, given on the duration of the animation, my animation has 1 second of duration. So I can have maximally half or a 1 second smoothened or divide them between the two. Have a bound. If you have an bounce at the end, you can not have smooth. What I want you to do is select the second object. Double-click on both of those animations one after another and give them different smooth things. This way you will learn that some of the animations that you apply in PowerPoint can be a little bit adjusted, smooth, and for example, will mean that the animation will accelerate faster. And at the end, it will smooth itself out. So the end will be a bit slower. Watch the bottom object now only. You can see it started a bit faster and then it slows down. It's difficult to adjust. Explain that way, you really need to open PowerPoint. Please open this slide, click here and just select Play from. This way, you will see what happens. You can even duplicate this object if you want to preview the results, you can move it around. You can select the other object, you can select another animation effect. You can give it a balance if you want to see what happens here. What happens, as you can see, it gives it the small pounds at the end. For the beginning, I prefer if you just work on one object so we don't get confused, but I just wanted to show you that you can click on an object. You can select an animation, go to its effect options and tinker a little bit, for example, giving it a smooth start and smooth and it will start slower. In the middle, it will go faster and at the end, it'll smooth itself out. This is a very important part of this course because 90% of presentations I usually see, even if they use the flying animation, go always for the regular flying railroad. Rarely anybody uses this smoothing options and they instantly make you a better animator and better designers really remember about them. Please give to this slide, try to apply some smoothing to the second object, and we will see each other in the next lecture. 6. 02-04. Motion Path: Within this lecture, I want to tell you about an animation called motion path or line. It's rather important when creating movement and animated videos. I didn't plan this lecture, but I went back and edited motion paths. I'll delete the original animation when you click on an object and add an animation to it, apart from entrance, emphasis and exit, there are motion paths. This is basically adding movement to your object. If I extend this and go to more motion path, you can see I have a bunch of weird movements. I don't know why PowerPoint isn't revamping that but funneled. Why would you need a funnel movement? Now? Let's pretend that those are okay. I will press Cancel. The most used motion paths obviously will be custom path and lines. Let me add lines at first. I wanted to show you what's happening here. Basically, it shows you what movement will be added to this shape. But be very careful. As long as you have the animations open and the animation is clicked. You can see the beginning and end of the animation. You can take the beginning somewhere else. And you can take and somewhere else. But what will happen now? This shape is here, but the animation is here. And this is the important thing I want to teach you. When you create something like that. As I click my mouse, this shape will magically go here and the animation will happen. At this point. You can see this may cause problems because usually you don't want this object to just fly over here magically and start the animation here. You want the animation to start where the object is. Now, if I click on this object, even if I move it forward to displace, you can see the animation moves with it. I would need to take the beginning of the animation, the green point, and put it back on this item. Well, it's difficult to put it precisely, but I will show you it should work now properly. This object will not move anymore as the line movement happens like that. If we go to the Effect options, we have a couple of directions. Before you will start working on this animation or adding a line animation, I want to show you one last animation. I'll click on it again. There is also custom path, which might be also very useful. Let's say that you have a slide. You want to explain something here, something here, something here. I would click on the beginning point. I could click here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here. And once I'm finished, I will just double-click. You can see I've made a custom animation, custom movement to this object. I can even resize this movement, but it will again create problems at the beginning. I'll not resize it, but I'll extend the duration. So it doesn't happen as fast. If I preview this, you can see I've created a custom motion path explaining something. I could of course add multiple of those. I could go to Add animation at another custom path from here to here, you see where the problem is. I am not sure that this object will happen and be placed exactly here. You need to remember where replaced the object. So it's a bit difficult to work with motion path because you don't always know where to start from. I want you to go into this slide, take this object and apply the line animation. And if you are curious, also the custom path. And yes you are right, it will feel weird. That's just how the animations are. I would recommend practicing with the line animation because it's a very useful animation, changing its effect options to left, right, and moving it manually, which are most as well. You usually, you only work with the end position. You don't touch the start position. But if you want to go crazy and preview what's happening, just move it to a different place and animated like that. 7. 02-05. Transitions vs Animations: In this lecture, I want to discuss what is the difference between an animation applied to an object and a transition that happens in between slides. If you want to organize yourself, remember that you can close the previous lectures, the previous sections down, so you only see the current section. Now, here are four slides. Because I wanted to briefly touch on the difference between an animation and they transition. Animations are things movements applied on this. Slide. Transitions is what happens between those two slides. If I have those two slides. Slide number seven and slide number eight, transition is the thing that happens here. But some transitions can look like animations because if I select the transition, look at it. I have two almost identical slide. Slide number one has objects here. Slide number two has object shifted a little bit to the right side. If I select, for example, the Wipe transition, I select the Effect Options of the wiping from left. We almost didn't animation just by using a transition. Or if you have PowerPoint 2019 to 21 and any newer version like to 65, we can use morph, which is even better because clicking morph takes information from the previous slide and moves objects. You can see this is clearly an animation. It's because you have two similar slides. You can emulate animations by using transitions. But it's important that you understand that when you record your presentation, if I go into the recording mode, if I would record the slide right now, when I'm talking. When a transition happens, it is not recorded. It will make a brief break, a brief stop in the recording, especially for explainer videos. If you want to record your voice, it's a bit inconvenient to use long transitions because transitions, just as animations can have their duration extended, I usually tend to lower the duration, so the transition itself doesn't get in the way what I want from you. I want you to open those slides. For example, there's, for example, the slide number ten. This file may change, but currently it's slide number of times. I want you to go to slide number ten and apply different transitions and see what happens. Not only will this teach you how transitions look, it will also teach you that some transitions can emulate movement. The post-condition. This time will not be the best. But if you make a faith, you can see you are fading from one object to another. And you kind of emulate animations. We could achieve basically the same by going to the previous slide. And for example, this is just an example, selecting those two objects, going to animations, opening animations. And we have motion path. I have the line animation. And I would select to the right side. We have almost the same thing. Those two objects go to the right side by using an animation. But here they go to the right side by using a transition. A big difference, but results are very similar. Keep that in mind. And just remember that transitions are something different than animations you can, because they happen between the slides, not on the slide. I hope this makes a tiny bit of science. Maybe I've over complicated it. I want it to be very thorough about what we are learning. As I wanted you to understand this topic deeply, open PowerPoint tested out, and we will see each other in the next lecture. Hopefully, we start to animate a project very. 8. 02-06. Bonus - Drawing: Let me give you a bonus lecture about drawing. I'm a bit hesitant about it because the drawing tab was added in PowerPoint 2019. And of course, all newer versions and Microsoft 365 subscribers should have it. Just create a new slide. We don't need any resources. What is the drawing? It is actually meant for tablet users and their special pens. But we can also use this feature by hand, by selecting the appropriate pen. We can draw whatever we like. Now, watch what happens. Let's make a simple drawing. For example, I did two drawings. I released my mouth lick, but PowerPoint, if I take my selection tool and click on it, powerpoint has grouped that object. You can very simply right-click group and just ungroup it PowerPoint. Consider this to be one object because I drawn them in quick succession. What will be the most amazing feature about this? Not the actual drawing, but the ability to Ink Replay that basically makes an animation out of it. You can see it replayed everything I drawn on this tab. What's more amazing, I can simply switch to animations. And instead of using normal animations, I have my replay animation right now here. And this is beautiful because I can select my multiple objects. I can even group them. Apply this replay animation instead of having a normal fade flying whatever, we have our drawing. Now, what are the use cases? For example, if you want to draw an arrow, like draw to this object, draw an arrow to this object. You can make better explainer videos using the drawing tab. If you have the newest version of PowerPoint, if you have, for example, a logo and want some text animation, Let's make some cool. Yeah, that's absolutely cool. Texts animation. Let's pretend that I wrote this pretty okay. Make sure that you switch to the selection tool. Just select that and let's preview our animation. I can go to my animation tab and hit on replay. You can see everything happens like that. This is one continuous animation. If you want to be completely detailed on what happened here, you can just right-click group and ungroup. Each single mouseReleased created a new object. This is a separate object. This is a separate object. This is a separate object. So if you want, you can now select the ungrouped items. Once again, give it to the play animation. You can see every single objects did get their own play animation. I can delay them. I can, some letters can for example, the letter e. The letter E is make the loop one shape. I will delay it a little bit. Ink 3131 is this item on t. Let's give it a brief delay. I will not extend this lecture. I just wanted to show you the capabilities and let's make a preview. When I click my mouse, you can see this is a very slow animation. Don't worry, you can select them as any other animations. You can reduce the duration, and this would look completely different. Thank you for listening to this lecture. I hope this is something you are interested in learning. 9. 03-01. EPS: Even though PowerPoint doesn't natively support EPS files, you have to convert them first, I still wanted to show you a couple of great websites where you can download those resources from. You will not have to do anything within this section unless you want to. I want to show you some great websites with resources. And don't worry, I will make an entire list with those websites and put it in the resources. So you can always check that special list. For vectors. I highly recommend, at least currently free pic.com and.com. What's the downside of those websites, apart from being great? The only downside little downstream for PowerPoint users is that normally if I select vectors, for example, search finance or anything else, I have absolutely stunning and beautiful vectors to use. The only problem will be that you download them in the EPS format. This is a vector format dedicated for vector software, not for PowerPoint. Powerpoint only read SVG and eat and F vector files. Those are other types of files and EPS format needs to be converted into SVG in order to work in PowerPoint, at least from in 2019 upwards. So this is the little drawback. In the next lecture, I want to show you how to actually convert it and what can cause problems there. I'm sure many of you know those websites, if not welcome, those are the websites. Let's proceed an L2, more tricks with them. 10. Leave a Review, Please: Hey, it would be extremely helpful for this class if you go to the Review tab and click on leave a review and write something there. If you don't see this button yet, you need to watch a few more lectures and it will become available. Sculpture now requires that classes have recent reviews on them. So it would help me greatly. You just click here, you tell if you'd like to class or not, and you write a simpler view and click Submit. I would be very obliged if you can do this right now. Thank you so much and see you soon. 11. 03-02. Converting - Difficult case: Let me show you a difficult case. This EPS file didn't convert properly online. It is a vector, but the divided into rectangles instead of groups that we wanted. Let me show you something about converting. I went into vector DZ. I download that this EPS file. I went to Cloud convert.com and I can select converting EPS SVG, the SVG file format works from PowerPoint 2019 upwards. I have selected the lead convert file. I'm clicking convert, and I will be able to download this SVG. I'm downloading. I can drag and drop it into PowerPoint. You can see I've already worked with this file, but if I drag and drop this file, I right-click group and ungroup. Click yes. Even though this is a vector, let me ungroup it again. You can see the online conversion this time didn't work. And 90% of cases it works properly, but on this file, it didn't work properly. Why is that? Why did it divided into these pieces? Well, this is only an online converter. If you want to be absolute pro, you need sadly, some paid vectors software like for example, Illustrator. Adobe Illustrator is of course able to make everything properly. But my recommendation is just use SVG files from overdue web if you need to use EPS, most of them convert. Well, I am specifically showing you an example that didn't work because this is an interesting phase. If I would use Adobe Illustrator, it would take a lot more time, but it definitely would work properly. Now I can see what's happening here. It's a group within a group. And I need to release everything two separate layers. Illustrator has this little trick where you can select a layer and select Release to Layers Sequence. And those now will become layers. I can see everything is still put into group and this is most likely why they're converting didn't work because everything is nested into each other. I would need to release the layers. I would need to take them to the very top of this entire file. I would delete this unnecessary object. And now if I would save this to SVG, it would surely work pretty. It would surely work properly, exactly like I have it here. I will show you this on an example, Save As again on my desktop converted SVG. And now this file will work properly. If you don't understand vectors yet completely, don't worry about it. I'm just showing you the most difficult case where a file didn't convert properly. This I made by hand. And if I click ungroup, yes, you can see everything now is perfectly divided exactly as you would want it to be when you use it for animation. Keep that in mind. When using EPS vectors, you should prioritize, if possible, SVA. 12. 03-03. SVG: If you have at least PowerPoint 2019 or any newer version which I strongly recommend, you will be able to use natively SVG vector files. Let me explain a little about them. In the previous lecture, we had a difficult task to work with EPS vectors. They work okay, but what's even better, SVG vectors, there is a beautiful website. I hope this website, it will stay on the internet forever. Android.jar, created by Katerina limpet Sunni, I hope I pronounced as well. It doesn't require attribution, but I'm happily attributing this website beautiful material. Go to Browse now and look at those media. Those are SVG files. You could use straightaway within PowerPoint, not only that, you can adjust the main color, it could suit your presentation. For example, if you have a red video upcoming, you can simply take the color red. Boom, you can download an SVG straight away. Another website, SVG repo. As we do repo, neat crediting, but look at those icons, wouldn't you want to credit those icons? Beautiful designs submitted by different designers and consistent icons across each other. For example, something like that. Think like that. License, CC Creative Commons attribution license. That means that you need to attribute this file. I would happily do this in my credits because I could use such a fantastic vector. Then, you know about free pig and the company itself. There are other websites from the freebie company, like fled icon slides ago, we pick, and we have this story, set.com, the absolutely most amazing website currently for creating explainer videos. The library is still small, but look at those magnificent pictures. Everything looks completely amazing. What's even more important? This is also a free pick company. It is absolutely sure it will be top-notch quality because older media are fantastic. For example, a manual here. Not only can you download an SVG straightaway, you don't even need to edit it deeply because you can edit it right here on the website. I can hide the background. If you want only the book. I would hide the character. I would show all layers. Hide the floor, hide the plant height to shadow, and we are left with the book. I will simply download the book for safe. Wave to myself. I can open PowerPoint and in a matter of seconds I can drag and drop this file into PowerPoint. Look how amazing that is. Vectors are beautiful because no matter how big they will be, they will always remain super sharp and crisp. I hope this is very interesting to you because if you have at least PowerPoint 2019 are newer, you will be able to use SVG files. Victims. 13. 03-04. Music: I wanted to briefly show something about music. There is plenty of music that you need to credit. For example, no copyright sounds and other websites that have great sound material, music that you simply can download and needs to copyright them. There is a brief annotation, what you need to paste into your video, for example, when you are using distract, you should copy that either in the YouTube description or within your video credits. But there are other websites like pixabay.com, it essay. Remember this started out as just a photo website. But look, all those websites, all those companies grow into hybrid websites with multiple types of materials here as well. We have illustrations, vectors, videos, music, sound effects. Pixabay grew into a large library. And materials on Pixabay are free of charge to use. So absolutely consider this S1 of the resources you can gather music from. 14. 03-05. Colors and contrast: This will be a very important lecture both about color schemes and about tools like the contrast checker that will help you to make your presentations easier readable. If you work with me in the past, you probably know that I have those favorite color website, definitely callers.co, color hunt. This may change. And Adobe Color, previously known as Adobe Cooler. What's even more important than just color schemes and good colors. For example, on Adobe, you can click on any given color scheme and you can select, create using theme, or you could change those colors. What's even more important? There is now an accessibility tool. This accessibility tool shows you the contrast ratio of your color against the background, which means shapes against the background and text against the background. The WCAG, which is an accessibility assessment, tells you that if you want a triple a rating for your media, it needs to have a contrast of seven and above. For 17 Points and below for those small texts, it should be higher contrast, so it's easier to read. So I should have a darker background. You can see the contrast is raising. Adobe can help me a little bit with that. I can raise my contrast by clicking this, it will automatically adjust the colors a little bit. And you can see this text with this background would be perfectly readable because it has this high contrast ratio and we would get a triple a WCAG rating on colors. We have the same features. For example, if you click More and there is a contrast checker, no matter what colors did you select, what colors you have. You can see we have the same possibilities. Keep that in mind. If you do your videos, you will instantly become a better designer. If you take contrast into consideration, it doesn't need only to look good. It needs to be readable for people over the internet, in my opinion, is secret theorists that Google might take this into consideration for SEO, ranking your files, ranking your media, and your videos, when they are perfectly readable for everyone, this is something definitely to consider for the future. 15. 03-06. Video: For videos, just a brief mention. For example, again, we have pixabay.com and you have videos with easy, is exactly the same like vec TZ from the same easy family like VDC vector brushes. So you can download free videos here. For example, top backgrounds. Pexels.com, also a great website with free material where you can discover videos. The little problem here is that videos can be really big when downloading them. So I would prefer, for example, on Paxos.com, you can lower the resolution. You can download lower resolution file. It will definitely take less space than it for K file. The same on pixabay.com. You can download the files in lower resolution. It also shows you how much the weight it depends on you. But if you work with PowerPoint, definitely PowerPoint will work quicker with smaller videos. This is the downside on VDC that we cannot at least at this point, change the quality of them. This is all I have about videos. I think we learned something new about this resource and we can continue to other sections. 16. 04-01. Power Point 2019 and older: Let me open my laptop and show you how the recording feature looked on the PowerPoint 2019 version. Later we can compare what improved and newer ones. I'd like us to get directly into the work, but I need to be really thorough about what I wanted to teach you. And I want you to become an absolute pro. I need to touch on what has improved in the recent version of PowerPoint and possibly will be even better in the future. Luckily, on my laptop, I still have PowerPoint 2019 version. Suddenly not the older ones, but more of a gaming laptop, as you can see here, I was able to stop updates. If I move to the recording, I can show you how the recording window deadlock in. Hello. Powerpoint 2019. This is an improvement from PowerPoint 201316 where we just had this white screen around here, PowerPoint 2019 brought in this dark screen. This dark screen had a couple more features. We could use our webcam in the settings. I can select what microphone, what webcam? On the bottom, I can select if the microphone should be recorded, if the webcam should be visible. I think it shouldn't. I could open the notes, but the nodes were only small loads on top of the slide. Then we could start the recording and we could talk and record our slide, as in the newer version as well. But I think this is still limited by what it can do. This is how it did look in older versions of PowerPoint. In the next lecture, I'm going to show you what improved and what is better in current and future versions. Hopefully, it will be even better. 17. 04-02. PowerPoint 2021, Microsoft365: Within this lecture, I want to explain what improved in the new recording window. Alongside Windows 11, PowerPoint 221 was released, and with Microsoft, with 65 being a subscription service, new features have a right recording has been made easier because wherever you are in PowerPoint, at any given point, you can click on Record to start your recording. You can, of course, go to the record tab as well and record from beginning and from current slide. What is the big change that I advocate is so much better. I have some notes and I can use a view called teleprompter that will highlight the notes. Previously as you saw, I had only small notes I could open up. And I have the presenter view. Why is the Presenter View so important? Because in the Presenter View, you will see what will happen next. What animation will come next? For example, when I record this slide and I have multiple animations on it. Like in the background, coming in the flag, coming in the text, and then another element coming in. I will see each time there is a next animation on this space. There's also another view of the slide view. It is similar to the older version. I think this is a huge game changer that we can use the presenter view suddenly we cannot resize it. It should be resizable, but it's a step in the right direction, PowerPoints to 21 and all newer versions will probably look like that and maybe even better. In my opinion, this is a cute step-up when it comes to recording, explainer videos and videos in general. 18. 04-03. Microsoft resources: This is a bonus lecture where I want to talk about PowerPoints own media library. It includes icons, videos, illustrations, but the library seems small and not growing a lot. If you have the newest versions and RA Microsoft 365 subscriber, maybe you didn't know it, but you can insert pictures straight from the Microsoft stock. This is a pretty useful function. In my opinion. It's not there yet. There should be more material, but you can keep in mind that some pictures, some icons, some videos and illustrations. This should interest us, especially when creating videos and PowerPoint. Some media are available here, straighten PowerPoint, the library currently is very small. A couple of months have passed. It still doesn't grow. I hope they will hire a lot of designers to create materials for PowerPoint and the entire Microsoft library. Specifically, those files are really beautiful, but we do need more. This is no competition for websites like flipping, but some icons can be used straight and inserted straight from PowerPoint. And this is a huge benefit that they think PowerPoint and Microsoft in general is doing right. It's not an alternative. Put a nice little bonus to have. I think we are properly equipped now to create some videos. So let's do it. 19. 05-01. How to work: It's an enormous pleasure to introduce you to this project and start working on it together with you. Let's preview the product first and I'll explain everything there is about it. In Iceland are more than 20 years from 1966 to 1987, by a decision of the government on Thursday, television didn't air. The idea was that residents would spend time going outside and socialize instead of just sitting in front of the TV. In late eighties, however, competitors entered the television market. The restriction couldn't hold up anymore. What do you think in the context of today's ubiquitous media and television? Was this a brilliant decision ahead of its time or a restriction of rights? Let me know in the comments, how do you feel about this topic? We will prepare exactly a video like that together from scratch. If you open PowerPoint, if you open this project, this is the animation I did. And you will work below from scratch. If you want to preview what I did at any given point, you can always click on a given slide. You can open the animations and the animation pane to see what is happening here. Don't be overwhelmed. I will be going over everything. If you want to see the note for a given slide, just open them on each slide. I'm giving the exact script I've read through, you will know what's happening on the screen and all the icons, elements, sounds. I've prepared and downloaded from our website. You can download them yourself if you want to learn to use resources from website, or you can use the empty template I've prepared here with all the icons that were downloaded during the creation process. The icons, the elements I've created myself, my voice-over. It's not perfect, but you can use it or you can, of course, record your own. I will later teach you how. There is also a music track that you can put on the first slide and it will play across the entire presentation what's important if you have at least PowerPoint 2019 and above, it will work with SVG images. This is why websites like stories set.com are absolutely perfect for these versions of PowerPoint. Because we can download an SVG image straight from this website onto our desktop and just drag and drop it into PowerPoint. We can change the color immediately or in PowerPoint and weekend show all layers. We can deselect certain layers if we don't want something. For example, here I just wanted to television. I've hidden the characters. I've hidden the sofa, the plant. I've made a hidden background, and just the TV can be downloaded straight as SVG. If you use other websites like free pick of course, because you can use different media, you don't have used my media. For example, on this slide, I've used freebies. If you download from free pig, it will most likely be an EPS vector file. This is a vector file, vector format that PowerPoint cannot read immediately. You need to go to our website to convert it. For example, Cloud convert.com or other websites, EPS to SVG. You just select the file, you convert it, and then you can bring the file into PowerPoint. And it should work sometimes with problems, but it's usable. You can the same way, create EMF files if you have an older version of PowerPoint, for example, those and 1020132016. You would need to use EMF. I'll work with the objects we already have. And in the next lecture, we will start right away by preparing the groundwork for the first light that is the background. See you there. Let's start designing. And I hope this will be a really enjoyable journey. 20. 05-02. Slide 1 - Background: With this lecture, we will start the design by creating a background like this. And like this. Let us start creating, I will right-click and select a new slide. As you can see, I have a blank canvas. Now at first, I want to create the background with you. For the background, of course, we will need the color scheme. I will take this file with the color scheme Control C and just place it below my current slide. I want two shapes, one on the left side and one on the right side. If you create explainer videos, dozen of times, you will divide your screen into two parts, into three parts. This is a really common workflow. I'll press Alt to. That is my shortcut for insert shapes. And I'll insert a normal rectangle. I will just place it here and I'll place it on the left topside. I hope I'll meet the middle point. As you can see the 0 here, I'm always watching where I am with my mouse. Just extended to the entire slide. I've overdone it. Okay, we have the first object ready. I will press Control D to duplicate it and create another object. Perfect. I have two different objects. Now, you want to change the color using the color scheme because I don't want to waste time on selecting colors. Shape Fill, eyedropper. And with the eyedropper, you can click on a given color. You can also right-click select, Add to Quick Access toolbar to edit. Here you can see I have a bunch of items. The colorful is one of the most commonly used to address press Alt three in my case, and select what I wanted to select. I want to select the gray color. Here. I want to select a blue color. It doesn't matter which one you can, of course change them. It will be your decision. In order to make this a tiny bit more interesting, what I did personally, I took this object, I created a new shape, and this time I wanted a rounded rectangle, but it doesn't really matter. It can be completely up to you. I have rounded the corners and I just placed four of those items here. I don't want to say randomly, but kind of in the middle of the object. With my shift key, I will select all four of them, and I will bring them a bit lower and bring them a bit more to the right side so they appear in the middle. What I did is going to Shape Fill, eyedropper, and I've selected a gray color or even the same color. Let me select them back again. Right-click Format objects. Going to the fill, selecting the fill more colors. And I made the color slightly darker. Just so you have some kind of texture here. Maybe I overdid it with the darkness. I'll go more fill colors and it will make it a bit brighter again, okay, So it just have something like that. Then I selected this entire object, press Control G. And I have this kind of background. I did those objects only. So this looks a bit more professional, not a plane object. Unexplained or videos. This looks a tiny bit better. All X2 again for my shapes and you can of course use any shapes you want. For example, shifts like that. Control D with Michelle, I rotate them. Control the, this one. Some kinds of patterns, some kind of texture, looks really nice on those explainer videos. I will repeat the process. I bring them a bit higher, a bit to the right side so they appear more in the middle. And for the color, you can go to Shape Fill and use one of the recent colors. Color, more fill colors. And just bring this up or down a little bit up to you. Okay? I've created those two textures. I'm selecting now everything with my mouse-click, I drag along Control G, and I've prepared by accident, I selected the color scheme as well. Apologies. This way, I have my left side and my right side prepared for my animations. Try to create patterns like that with different objects of your liking. In the next lecture, we'll see each other again and we will soon go to the animation part. 21. 05-03. Slide 1 - Design: In this lecture, I want to teach you how to add additional elements according to the script. We will add the flag, the TV, and the dates. Why did I divide this slide into 21 of the absolutely most important things. If you do any kind of video, not only empowerment, any kind of video is looking at the script. Of course, you need a script At first. I have a simple script here, I will just copy it down. And the first sentence goes, in Iceland for more than 20 years from blah, blah, blah, blah, by a decision of the government on Thursday, television didn't error. You need to segment this into a couple of pieces. And imagine what you will put on the slide to animate it. I wanted information about Iceland. This will be number one. I wanted information about years. It can be text or some kind of element as well. So I have number two. Number three is government, and number four is television or a. Firstly, I have four elements here to animate. This is pretty much, you don't need to animate everything, review, create, explainer, reduced. But here I wanted to have four elements. So it really nicely divide it by two to have those objects. What I've selected, I selected a flag. I selected this television icon, and I prepared an x sine. I will just copy those elements. If you want to download the manually, you have sources, everything that I downloaded. And if not, you can just search Google for illegal items you can use. And let me position those items first. At first. And information about Iceland need to emerge. In Iceland. Blah-blah-blah. For more than 20 years, blah, blah, blah. The yours should be maybe on the right side. For the years, I've selected insert text box. Where are your textbooks? I've created the textbox and we have yours. 1966. I hope they are precise to 19 to 19871987. At first I'm creating them in one box. I will maybe separate them, but that in a moment, of course, pecks should be white because we have a dark blue background. I want to center them and I wanted to make this really, really big. Something like that. Around 100 points should be okay. Now you need to decide for yourself what kind of font you want to use it. This would be one of the fonts that could work. I used a different font, but if I look at it now, Bodoni looks really beautiful. So I will set this font, I'll make it a bit smaller, and this looks really fine. If you want to animate everything separately. That is what I recommend. I would duplicate this three times. And here I would just have this here. I will just have the second years. Here, I would just have the first year. So this would be really nice to animate because I have three separate objects. If we read the line along, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, by the decision of the government on Thursday, television didn't air. I wanted to put a TV with Thursday on it. I will make it bigger so it matches the flag. I wanted this x sine to be somewhat something like that. This is the design part of this slide. I can make this a bit bigger with my shift key selected. I'll make this x sine a little bigger so it covers the TV. And if you wonder how I made this x sine, I just created two rounded rectangles like that. And I just move them over, control the move them over. And this is how you create basically a simple excellent change the colors and everything would be done. This slide is, in my opinion, prepared for animation because we've put all the elements a good explainer video should have. In the next lecture, I'll show you how to professionally animate a slide like that. 22. 05-04. Slide 1 - Animation: The first mouse-click will be Iceland. It could also be without a Moscow. The second most leak will be all the text. The third most quick, this is very important. The flag will move and the television will appear in the list object will be the x. This will be a very difficult lecture, so pay close attention animating everything we have here. I will start with the background. Click to select the gray and blue background animations flying. I want them to fly in from bottom and from top to have some differences. So I will select the second animation effect options from top. I want them, of course, to be a little longer, maybe 75, maybe three quarters or 1 second. Three-quarters should be fine. Right-click with previous, so they start automatically and a small delay between them. So we have something like that. At first we started with Iceland in Iceland, and you can decide what kind of animation you want. Do you want a flying? Let's maybe make something different. This time, I will take the Zoom animation. The Zoom animation is a really simple but very beautiful animation. The first mouse-click is okay, because I will make a voiceover. I wanted this voice over to run and I want to manually click what happens on the slide. I'm making this on the very middle of the slide. The flag in Iceland for more than 20 years from this to this year. Then the next objects are the years. I want to animate them in bulk as well, but with slight delays. I press Shift to select this one, Shift to select this one. And I'm selecting flying. You know a little bit about the flying animation as well. So select Effect Options from right, this should look much better. As you can see, this is very quick and very boringly animated. I will extend the duration. I will double-click on the animations. And let's go a little crazy here. You can of course, use a smooth end with, I wanted to test out how a bounds will look. A small bounds may be 0.4 seconds, 0.4. Enter. Look okay with the animation happens to quick, I will extend it to 1 second. In my opinion, this is completely fine. The last adjustment I wanted to make, since I'm reading, I'm talking if you have multiple items like that, multiple data, try to add some delay between them. Delay, delay, delay, delay 1 second delay, and another second of delay for the second text. Beautiful. The last thing that will happen on this slide is the government by a decision of the government on Thursday. Television didn't error. I want by the decision of the government on Thursday, or maybe the Zoom, maybe the Zoom will on Thursday, television appears. This is mouse-click number three. Extend the duration so it isn't as quick. The x will be the last part of the sentence. I will manually click the X. Do you want to zoom in or a WIP? Maybe the zoom in, zoom in is pretty cool and it will really work for this type of animation. The zoom-in is the fourth mouse click, and I'll extend the duration to 075. What is the last step I wanted to take? I want actually, when the television appears here, I want to deflect to raise a little, I want it to be brought up little bit. For this reason, I will select, Add animation lines. So it moves with, it should move bottom, it should move to the top side. I'll press up line animations are very specific animations. You can click on the red part and you can reduce maybe the position a little bit. This would be very beautiful, but I don't want this to be mouse-like. Number five, I wanted this to happen when the television appears. How to achieve them? Click on the television to see exactly where the television animation is. And just bring the flag animation behind it, behind it and select right-click with previous. In my opinion, I should reduce the duration and let's preview now, maybe reduce it the duration to be exactly like the TV appearing. And let's see what happens on the screen. The first mouse-click will be Iceland. It could also be without a Moscow. The second mouse click will be all the texts. The third most quick, this is very important. The flag will move and the television will appear in the list object will be the beautiful we've animated, in my opinion, slide number one, the only slight change I want to make is using the flag with previous and giving a slight delay when the backgrounds appear, the ice-cream select can appear as well, extending the duration, and that's it. Those are all the animations I wanted to create. We would be basically ready to do a voiceover and add some music for this slide. In the next lecture, we will continue by going to the next slide and so on. Width, the explainer video. I will see you there. I can't wait to work. 23. 05-05. Slide 2 - Design: In this slide, according to the script, we can simplify our life by adding a couple of ready designed illustrations. The first thing I did is of course, writing a script. If you read the second sentence, the idea was that residents would spend time going outside and socialize instead of just sitting in front of the TV. This is basically a little story that could be summarized in one picture. And this is perfect for explainer videos. Because here, what you could do, I can imagine some people being outside instead of sitting on the PC. If you want to create an explainer video, the more scenes like that you can find the better because this scene could be basically one image. This is exactly what I did. I went on three big and found something like that. But as you can see below, there are different vectors that would also work perfectly for this kind of slide. I've selected this one because there's a bunch of items. I end up deleting some of them, but you get the idea. You can use a file-like that. You can convert this EPS, SVG and bring them straight to PowerPoint. I've also used some clouds later because this slide was a little boring. Going back to PowerPoint, you can of course, use the resources I prepared here. And for the hands, I've separated the hands because I wanted to animate a couple of items. For example, the hands on this slide. Creating a slide, I will copy both the clouds and the people. People on Cloud, perfect. We have them on this slide. I will make the people bigger. Like this. The clouds bigger as well. I wanted the clouds actually to reach outside of the slide a little bit because I wanted to animate them. This is why I made so many of them. I will extend them a little bit beyond the slides. And essentially this would be making the slides ready. What's more important here are the animations, the little animations that I will add to give this some life. Because if the sentence will run here and we would have only something like that, it might be a bit boring. In the next lecture, I will show you how to be, again, more professional and how to animate the clouds at first. 24. 05-06. Slide 2 - Animating Clouds: Within this lecture, we will learn how to add movement to the clouds so the rock back and forth. Let us animate the clouds. If you would be extremely lazy, you could even add clouds from PowerPoint straightaway here, but you probably see that they don't look as professional. So I preferred to use some vector clouds I found online. I will move them a bit to the side because I want to give some animated movement to them. Go to animations, open animations and I'll use a motion path code lines this simplest animation, but with some tweaks, it won't be assembled. Obviously, you want the cloud to go, right? I'll use the ant handled because I don't want them to derive so far away. I want them to be a bit closer like that. But basically the movement will be from here to here. So everything will float on the screen. I can animate them right away by selecting with previous. So they will start when the slide start. This is the movement you can see it's pretty boring. Again, I recommend double-clicking on the animation going to its effect options. You can see there's some smoothing over the applied when using the line animation. But in my opinion, what we should do, we should do outer reverse. This is when the clouds come to the end, the admission will revert back to the original point. And this is creating a seamless animation. The next adjustment I want to apply is going to timing. And using repeat until end of slide. This will take the entire work away from it because I don't have to think, well, this slide will take seven seconds, so I need to repeat this animation 3.6 times. I'll just make it repeat until end of site, I'll press Okay, and look what happens. If you play this slide with Shift F5. They move a little bit too quick, in my opinion. That's just a little adjustment I can do on the fly. I wanted them to move just slightly. What you can do, you can simply extend the duration of the animation itself. It will take longer for the clouds to travel. They can travel further if you prefer, or closer. It will slow the motion down even more. As you can see, this will be perfect. This is just one sentence and the clouds are seamlessly animated in the background and are waiting for our other movements. This is everything I wanted to teach you within this lecture. It is not just about the Cloud. I've taught you an essential animation function within PowerPoint. I hope you will remember about this. Try to recreate that motion and we will see each other in the next lecture with other things. 25. 05-07. Slide 2 - Animating Hands: Let me show you how you can animate different elements that should wave. For example, here I've animated the hands of the people. You can see a couple of hands are missing. This is because I don't want to waste your time to repeat the steps. You can use the hands that I have already extracted from those people and bring them back together. Let me show you an example. Luckily, this SVG converted pretty well. And if I right-click group, ungroup it to make a drawing object, it separated itself beautifully into all those small elements. If I wanted this hands to wave when he walks, I would open the animations and I would creatively use the spin animation. As you can see, the spin animation is completely crazy because currently, this is the spinning point of the hand. Here's a piece of cool bonus advice. This is Adobe After Effects. If you've never worked with animation before, when you create a shape, there is something like an anchor point. This anchor point decides how certain animations will behave. In PowerPoint, by default, a shape has its anchor point in the middle. If I open the rotation options, you can see the object will rotate around this anchor point. But if I take this anchor point and move it to the left side, I use rotation again. Now this will rotate like this. We want to emulate having an anchor point in PowerPoint. Hopefully in the future, microsoft will add anchor points into animations and shapes. But currently, we went to emulate having an anchor point and move it to the top of the arm that we plan to animate. Double-click on the animation itself, the audio effects. And you can imagine that we can reduce the amount of the spin. I can reduce it even as low as 20 on or 15%. That's completely fine. Powerpoint doesn't mind. You can also outer reverse, so it'll wave back and forth. I have 15 degrees. I will just put some smooth onto it and press, Okay, look what happens. Well, the spinning, they'll happens in this point and the entire hand spins. Instead of the point they're spinning point being here. And just a hand-waving. You can correct that by taking the hand. It is an object like that. What I can do, I can insert a shape that is almost exactly the same size. I can just position it where the spinning, the middle of the spinning points should be. You can see I can use my arrow keys to adjust this a little. And I can now group the two objects. The animation has disappeared, but don't worry, we will add the animation again. I will take this object and I obviously don't want this object to be visible. I will select Foreign shape and I will just make this shape completely transparent. The problem with this technique is that this is now a pretty big item, but it really doesn't get in the way because you are usually animating just a couple of items. For example, here, I've just animated a couple of those hands. I go to animations. As I've taught you, I'm using the spin animation. And you can see now it's spins properly. From this point outwards. I'll double-click on it effect. And I want to spend that 15 degrees Alphas enter for the smooth. And let's make some of the smoothened and let's make outer reverse and timing until end of slide. Perfect. I can press Okay, and look what happens. Of course this sometimes might look a bit weird. You can rotate it a little bit or you can decrease the degrees. This was difficult to say, decrease the degrees. All right, and if I preview this animation, we have this nice waving. No one would notice that. It comes a little bit too close here, too close for comfort, but it looks really nice. The smooth end only looks a bit weird. I can correct that by giving it a smooth start as well, especially in auto reverse position, boom. It rocks back and forth. The other hand, I did basically the same. You can of course take them and animate them or just copy the animations. But I would prefer if you practice and at least one or two hands, it would be nice if you animate the hand of this person or you can just copy the hands here. I had one hand here, one hand for the little girl, at two hands for this boy. And if I want to speed up the process, I will take this hand. I'll use the animation painter. For me. This is Alt Shift C and I copy, copy, copy, copy, copy. Basically, no work. I'll click away because I no longer want this. I'll select with my shift key older hands. I'll right-click and sent them back because I want them to be behind the object. And look what happened. Everyone is waving This one hand. That doesn't look good. I should maybe correct This one hand. But other than that, all those other hands look really cool. If you want to be a bit more unique, remember that you can always take some animations and delay them so they don't wave at the same time, at the same speed. All of them. This now would look a bit more organic because the hands are a bit more free form. If you have really nothing to animate and you need to find something to animate. Just give it some waving. So moving. And this will look more pleasant for the human eye. 26. 05-08. Slide 3 - Design: In this lecture, we are going to design this slide, including the background. If we look at the script in late eighties, however, competitors enter the television market and the restrictions couldn't hold up anymore. If I should highlight the eighties or make it simple like competitors enter the television market. And this is the most important part of the sentence, and it will be also easy to animate. So I thought to myself, well, let just grab a couple of televisions and put them next to each other. As competitors, you can try to reuse some of the elements you have. For example, this TV, this is perfect for highlighting the television and competitors. So I'll just put it in the middle of the slide. Then I went to stores, had to grab a couple of other TVs. If you type in TV here, there is a bunch of televisions. This side doesn't have many resources right now. I'm sure it will grow and there will be more and more resources. And if it comes for TV, you can see we have plenty of them. If not, you can just take a person, takes some kind of background and make a television around it. I've grabbed, for example, those TVs. And this will look beautifully for the slide design. You can grab the icons here or you can download them yourself. I'll Control C them, and I'll Control V them. Onto this slide makes some kind of design. I decided to make it from left to right, the competitors. And once I did that, I saw that the positioning everything is okay, but the slide is very empty. As I told you, you can again use elements you already have. For example, here, we made those nice little background. So I'll take this background and I'll simply positioned it here. We can either use this blue background or maybe just a pattern in the middle Control Shift G. And this is why patterns may become really useful later on. Right now, they are very strongly visible. What I want to do, I wanted to duplicate them a couple of times. It turns out only two times. Like that may be maybe two more here on the left side. And perfect, I have some kind of pattern. I'll select everything and group it together. Right-click, Format, Shape. And in the filling options, in the solid fill, I will give it some transparency, of course, for the color, I want to use one of the recent colors. In my opinion, the blue is completely defined and I'll reduce its transparency, its opacity, sense to back. If you don't like the blue color, consider adding a gray one, for example, maybe if gray would work better or television? Yeah, because the televisions already have the blue color on them. And in my opinion, we are ready with this slide. This would be a beautiful and clean slide. It could be a nicely animated, do something like that yourself. And we will proceed to the animation process. I'm really excited to show you a couple of tricks here. 27. 05-09. Slide 3 - Animation: On this slide, we are going to animate the televisions. Let me grab the script so we know what's going on in the script. In late eighties, competitors enter the market just to not be so boring, I will make the main television at first bigger, the government TV at first bigger. And I will go to animations flying. Right-click with previous, extend the duration. It's a bit sad that we have to repeat the steps. Always affect options from okay, It's from bottom already and it's too long. I will reduce the duration and I'll make the x, the free form x little later, a little bit delayed, maybe under it, it just for convenience. Delay. Okay, let's see what happens. Beautiful. It has a small delay. What I wanted to do, I want to of course, apply some smoothing. I forgot about that smooth and beautiful in late eighties, however, competitors enter the market. I want this competitor and this competitor to enter the same way as the government TV entered. I think the sizes are okay. It's all about our imagination. Click on the TV. Animation painter, boom, animation painter, boom. This should be click number two. So I'll take this TV right-click and start onclick because when I do the voice-over, I went to click disappears. And this appears maybe with a slight delay. Let's preview what's happening. Boom. Competitors appear. Boom, Beautiful. The last part of the sentence, the restriction couldn't hold up anymore. So I somehow want to show you that competitors are now equal to the government television and everything can err. I can do this by taking this object, this object at animation from the exit animations, because I want now to add animations on top of animations. This will be mouseClicked number three. I will make flight out. And maybe to top site. This will look better. Again, repeating the steps, duration, the zeros, 75, double-clicking effect and giving it some kind of smooth end. You can be precise here like 0.5. This is actually what I would prefer from you if you are always pixel perfect and precise, but it depends on your style. The competitors, I want the competitors to grow a little bit. This is also a very important animation. This will be most clique number three at animation. Not just clicking on an animation because it will replace the current one. I want you to add animation on top of it, grow, shrink. This is one of the most important animations when it comes to PowerPoint. Spin and grow and shrink. And by default it grows 150%. The 150 per cent smooth. And do we want the smoothened? Of course, we want the duration to seconds is a bit too long. I will make it at this 0.12 of smoothened 1 second of smooth shot. Helpless, okay? But I want to decrease the duration to 1 second. But the government television should get smaller. How do I decide when it will be small enough to equalize with those objects and growing to 150%. I basically cannot do this automatically. I would need to use the Morph transition, but I don't want to use transitions when I'm doing voiceovers. I will select, Add animation, grocery, and not grow, but shrink effects size. Let me guess like 60%. I have some experience with the animations. So it should be like 6065. I think it should be enough. I hope I'm not making a fool of myself. Smooth and let's just make smoothened. Right-click with previous. Reduce the duration, and let's simply preview what happens. Government TV competitors enter the market and now the next check, everything equalizes. Almost. This should be a tiny bit higher and a tiny bit smaller. I want this to happen on one mouse-click. I will remove their mouse-click. And this should be a bit higher. And it should be even smaller. So maybe 55%. Perfect. Previewing it again, competitors enter the market and they somehow equalized, perfect. This looks really good. I don't need any more adjustments. May be this a bit too. They're closer to the middle point because this will be smaller. So we'll have big gaps between them, right? In my opinion, we've animated this slide width, basically only two mouse clicks. If you cannot follow the steps I'm telling here, make it simpler. Delete the background, the liquid com competitor, and work on just two or three objects. This would make it easier even if you don't want to animate the X. If you want to practice creating explainer videos and explainer animations, users to objects. This animation would look really cool as well with just those two. 28. 05-10. Slide 4 - Design: This lecture will be about designing slide number four. You can go for a simpler approach with just as smart or with the entire icon. I will show you everything. What do you think in the context of today's ubiquitous media and television? Was this a brilliant decision ahead of its time or restriction of right? I thought to myself that I want a picture explaining the entire sentence and then yes or no going in from the sides. And this was already such a simple design because we could use 3D elements. For the main element I used. As you can see, slide number for the children. I will just copy it over to make it quicker. I think in Iceland already back then they saw that it can already become a bad habit. I sitting in front of the television, an image like that put professor explained that. Then I just selected a couple of icons from a beautiful website. I found the website states it's completely free and it doesn't require an attribution. But how could you not attribute something like that created by Katerina? Really high-quality SVG items are shared here. This is just perfect. This is beautiful. This is exactly what we searched for our explainer videos. I searched rectangular wrong and an x sine is here, and those are icons we could use here. As you can see, I've selected one Smiley icon for positive and some protesters for negative because I was talking about rights. With the design. You can follow what you already did. What we did is create nice background. Why don't we use them control C, control V. Since we animated them previously, they would be already animated. I will leave them animated as they are. And I want the icons to appear here. For example, on the left side and on the right side, you can of course make this a bit smaller, going to shape format with maybe five. This five as well. Align, align, right, align left, and beautiful. We have this small gap in between them. For the icons, I basically just downloaded those SVDs from websites. I put a circle behind them and those I created myself. Of course, the same way as you always do. You basically go to the shapes your PowerPoint offers you, for example, are shaped like that. Control D move it around. You would have a simple, simpler shape. You can connect the shape or you can group the shape by pressing Control G, changing the color, giving it shape effects. Shadow, some shadow and boom, you've created a sign like that. I will delete this right now. If you want to make this animation a bit simpler, you could go even with just those types of icons. Do you think this is a right decision or a wrong decision? I will do this exactly like this. If you want to be professional and have everything, just copy the elements I've prepared. I will post them here. Helpers Control Shift G to ungroup everything. Control Shift G to ungroup. And I will select this icon on this side. This icon on this side, it's a bit heavy for the PC because those icons have plenty of elements on them. But you get the rough idea. As you can see, it's even on my PC, it's terribly slow. That's the problem with PowerPoint. If you use a vector images with plenty of elements on them, gets a little slow. But this would basically be the design part. I'll take the icons, I'll right-click, bring them to front, bring them to the right side. And in the next lecture, we can finalize the animation. 29. 05-11. Slide 4 - Animation: In this video, we learn how to animate the middle picture and how to animate the left and right box coming in. Here, I want you to use the tricks you already have. I will put this above it. I will put this here just for an information. And I will animate this left block Control G together and this right block Control G together. I've got rid of the animation sadly. But animations click on the left side, fly in from left because this is exactly what I wanted. Extend the duration. Double-click effect and give it 0.5, smooth and beautiful. You have this smooth animation on this one, animation painter and on this one as well. But this one should animate from the right side. This is an obvious solution. Bu, I wanted those marks to appear a tiny bit later. So this one a bit later than the first mouse click, and this one a bit later than the second mouse-click. You can do this automatically by right-clicking and after a previous or selecting width previous and just giving it the appropriate delay, you can see the delay that happens for the children. So it isn't so static. You can always use the technique of bouncing back and forth, going to animations, giving it a gross ring. Making it the first animation, selecting width previous. So it starts automatically, double-click effects and reduce by always reduce it to one hundred and fifty, one hundred and twenty. It has to be subtle. The more subtle the better. 1 second here, One second here. And auto reverse timing. Repeat until end of slide. Okay? And this will be perfect because I will even extended duration because at first I want to start talking descript. I don't know how long it will take, but I know that my first mouse-click should be the left item. Okay. The second mostly should be the right item, not okay, or perhaps not. This is everything that we need to create this explainer video. We've created an animated four slides. I hope you follow along and work on the same object. And next step will be finally to use the voice-over, record everything. And this will be super fun. So stay tuned. 30. 05-12. Adding background music: In this lecture, you can download the music drug or take it from the template, copy it over to the first slide, and I'll teach you how to make this play in the background. I've selected a free drag from Pixabay. You can use a different one. It's completely fine, but I think this sounds pretty well for this kind of explainer video. And I've just selected Free Download. Once you download it to your PC, you can drag and drop it into PowerPoint if you want to save time. As always, within the resources, this is the music file dropped into PowerPoint. Take this file, Control-C and place it on your first slide. In our case, this is slide number eight outputted here, and I like to position it beyond the slide. It doesn't matter because this icon can be hidden by going to play back and selecting height during show. But what's beautiful about PowerPoint? You can do this with a script called Play and background. Wow. You click on plain background and everything you need to adjust here is happening automatically and animation is being added. This is the first animation. It is hidden during the show. It plays across slides and it loops onto stop. So even if it's sunk would end, it will loop again for the volume you need to establish your own volume, but usually you want to go pretty low because if I go like that, the song will overwhelm the entire presentation and nothing, no voice over will be hurt. If you have no voice-over, you can go, for example, for a lower amount. But since I'm doing a voice-over, I want this sounds to be pretty low. I will go for a really low value. And once we do the voice-over, we will here, if everything works, remember to test out if the music plays, just press Shift F5 to start from this current slide. And the music should play the animation shipped late night with her most places, you can proceed with the presentation. You can move forward, blah, blah, blah, blah. And you can go to the next slide. The music should still plate, perfect. This is adding background music to the slide. And the next lecture, we can go to our next step. That will be the voice-over. 31. 05-13. Preparing for recording: In this lecture, I will show you how to take the voiceovers I've prepared and put them on the slides accordingly to prepare us for the recording. There are many ways to add voiceover. One of the most convenient ways, especially in the new PowerPoint version, is hitting the record button and just recording your presentation. You can record on all slides or on the current slide. To make sure I record from this slide, I take everything else there is. With my shift key, I select everything and I select right-click Height slide. This will make sure that the unhidden slides, those are hidden, those that are crossed out are hidden and will not play, and those normal slides will play. I want to apply some kind of transition. I go to transitions and give it a fate or push. It really depends on what do you want, what kind of transition do you want between your slides? Let's make a zeros 75 push. This is completely fine. You can change the Effect Options. And for the voice-overs, You can use my voice-overs. You can add them just as the background music or you can record your own. Let's say that I will use my voice-overs. I'll placed on the first slide, on the second slide, on the third slide, and on slide number four, because I've already recorded my voices, how you can add them to slide, No problem. Playback. Play in background. It doesn't need to play across slides because it will own play on this slide. I will just de-select that one and also the looping. I'm just doing this for convenience because this automatically plain background De-select. Maybe put it here, plain background De-select. And here as well. Playing background, De-select, the voice-over is prepared. The last step we need to make is to record everything according to our timings. And this is a very beautiful thing in PowerPoint. And I want to show you this on the next lecture. Let's head over there right away. 32. 05-14. Recording the Video: In this lecture, we will do what we all came here for recording a video. I will click the animations according to the voice-over to have a ready recorded video. Let us record our presentation Going to the record or the record tab. And from beginning, from beginning means from this slide, I'm using interviews, the presenter view, powerpoint to 21 and Microsoft for 65, allow me to use the teleprompter represents a reviewer or slide view, but I use the presenter view because on the right side, I can see the next slide and the next animation that will appear. Let me de-select the microphone because I don't want to record my voice because my voice is already recorded. And I'll select on or slides. I'll try to be really precise and quick here because I know the script, I know the animations and select on all slides three-to-one. And let's go. In Iceland for more than 20 years from 1966 to 1987, by a decision of the government on Thursday in television didn't air. The idea was that residents would spend time going outside and socialize instead of just sitting in front of the TV. In late eighties, however, competitors entered the television market and the restriction couldn't hold up anymore. What do you think in the context of today's ubiquitous media and television? Was this a brilliant decision ahead of its time or a restriction of rights? Let me know in the comments, how do you feel about this topic? Alright, I've recorded, I don't want to export right now. The most important thing about this is that even though you have mouse clicks, that would basically start normally, PowerPoint recorded this slide as a video. It automatically made the transition to have the amount of seconds that it took to play this slide. And we can reduce this by one or two seconds because PowerPoint always adds a little bit at the end. But generally this works really beautifully and it respects your mouse clicks. This is the most important because here, I don't have to do anything and the mouth clicks will happen now. In late eighties, however, competitors entered the television market. I don't know if there's motion and the competitors come here, come here, and everything is, as we've recorded it. The only downside is the PowerPoint adds a little bit at the end, as I've told you. But generally this feature works really well depending on your voice-over. For example, my voice-over has 13 seconds. I can reduce it to 14. The other mouse clicks are still recorded because this slide is basically a video. Now, if you play this, it isn't just general statement. It's basically 20 years from. I have a small mistake here. I see that this background music should start with previous. So everything starts from the beginning. That's not a big problem because I can Record, I can record just this slide. On current slide, I can record just this slide again. You can see the animations will now work properly in Iceland for more than 20 years, from 1966 to 1987. By a decision of the government on Thursday, television didn't air. I press S for stop. And you can see PowerPoint has recorded this video with my according mouse clicks. I can preview it with the government these in-person tomorrow demands in 1980 and beautiful. This is exactly how you can record with the newest version of PowerPoint. I'm really excited about this feature because it finally goes into the right direction. I hope you've enjoyed to create this video and we will create many more together. I've tried to explain you everything slowly. Please do. Let me know if you would like some more information about how to create these type of videos, how to use the recorder. And I'll try to adjust the lectures and maybe record something new. Alright, let us continue. 33. 05-15. Exporting: For exporting, as you know, only the unhidden slides that are those four will be exported. Sometimes at the end, I add a new slide. I go to Format background and give it a black background for this little fade-out transitions. And give it a simple fade for the duration of 0.5 seconds. Easy counting. I have for slides and the swift black slide, I can go to File Export, create a video. And it's important that I select not only full HD, but ultra HD for 60 FPS exporting, this is completely fine when it comes to quality. But this export 30 FPS. I prefer this one, the Forky quality. It renders a bit long with the results are astonishing. You can hit create a video and save an MP4 file. The rendering takes place here on the bottom side you can see the progress. Once that is finished, you can preview if you did an errors and mistakes, if something should be shorter. If something needs to be shorter, you can go to the transition step and you can reduce the amount of seconds it takes to transition to the next slide. This is eight when it comes to exporting. Thank you so much for working on this explainer video. It was tons of fun for me and I hope we can create a couple more. See you in the next lectures. 34. 06-01. Project and Resources: At first, let us take a look what we actually create and what we will be recording within this project. We are doing a marketing video with multiple elements being explained in flying in. Especially we will work with video files and with continuous animations. If you want, you can download by hand all the resources that are here. I have linked, of course, the video, the three videos that are here. But if you don't want to waste time and you want to use the items straightaway. You can simply go to this template slide and you can grab this, create a new slide, and just work with the files I've put here. Everything is here including the color scheme. And personally I've used the quicksand font for this product. You can type in here a different fonts to see how it looks. Or you can simply download quicksand. I can open it briefly. You can download it from Google or from any other website you prefer. Just click on Download family, it should download to your PC. Once you have the font downloaded, I can simply unpack it quickly. I can install the font and careful, sometimes a font has a variable file. A variable file is like one font file with multiple fonts within it. But I don't think PowerPoint works properly with that. So I'm using the static fonts. I'm just selecting all of them. Right-click installed and they would install on my system. This is what we had to go over for the resources. In the next lecture, we will start the work by creating the first slide. It includes a video. So really something very interesting. Let's head over to that lecture. 35. 06-02. Slide 1 - Design: In this lecture, we are going to design the first slide. If you have downloaded the resources and we'll work on the same file, you can use the color scheme and resources that are here. The font is up to you. You can preview how quick sand looks and you can type in here to compare it to quicksand. If you have downloaded it properly, you can use quicksand if you want to make the same, I will use the color scheme and the slide one object, Control C and Control V it onto the new slide. L put the color below the slide just for my information. And they'll put this guy and enlarge it to the entire screen. It's very easy to enlarge because this is a full HD in 16 by nine video. Perfect. Now for other shapes, I will press Alt to, that is my shortcut for insert shapes. And I'll insert a rounded rectangle. I will insert a rounded rectangle. I will make the corners more or less rounded. I will make them a bit less. For the Shape Fill eyedropper, I want this brown color. Boom. For the outline. I want no outline. I want a bit of rotation just to make it seem cooler since this is supposed to be a marketing and encouragement video of some sort. So let's give it a bit of rotation. Perfect. Now for the text, for the text, I'm going to insert textbox and I'm inserting the text. Need a marketing video contact us, dude. I wanted to capital letters. I don't know why, but let's just do it like that. I will enlarge it. Of course, heavily enlarged for the font. As I told, I selected quicksand, let me quickly change the font color, eyedropper, and I made sure that I use this yellow coral called Hello color that I've prepared for myself. Keeping it rotation. I wanted to give this object the same rotation as I gave the shape. It can be very easily checked. Right-click Format Shape, opening the Format Shape options. As the last option, you have Size and Properties. Just open the size, you will have the rotation here, 303. I can click on the text and I can give it the same rotation without thinking about it. They gave the same rotation to the text. Now for the font, I've selected, quicksand, semi bold. I have it already in my recently used, and as you can see, I made it too big. Let's just make it smaller. And basically we are done with the most important part of our design. We have the animated video or video. Video isn't animated, It's just a video. And here I've added just a couple of shapes to fill out the screen and give it a bit more flavor. How we can do this, you can simply select the original shape and Control D it. Staying on the original shape is very convenient because you are working with the same object shape fill. I will give it the yellow I have it in my recent colors. And definitely you want it to be smaller and maybe with some kind of different rotation. And I would like this to be behind this one object. If I right-click send to back, it is even behind this video, but I don't want this to be behind the video. I can go to home select selection pane. You can see I'm having this rectangle selected. I wanted to put it above the laptop guy. I could even right-click Bring to Front and just bring forward what I wanted to show you what's happening in the selection pane. Everything that is on the slide is showcased on the selection pane, even this picture and this shape. All right, I see I've added a couple more variations of the shape. We can just replicate the steps. It's all depending on how you feel about the design. Let's watch it. This design has an empty space on the right side, or an empty space here. I do not want to crowd the slide because this should be the main focus. And of course, the guy in the video is he's speaking on the phone and fruit of his laptop. Heat in the texts should be the main focus. I will just duplicate this the way I want the same or different rotations. I don't know. Let's just leave it at that. And the last item I've posted here, I gave it a different corner adjustments, maybe a little bit stronger. And instead of having a fail, because now this is getting a little bit more crowded. Don't worry about that. This won't be visible. You need to always shift a five to preview the site. Okay, I think this looks a bit boring. So I'll go to Shape, Format, Shape, Outline, yellow, shape, fill. No fill. This way. I got an outline of the shape. Outline. Wait, I'll increase the weight a little. Maybe extend this a little to make it a bit more interesting. Shift the 51 less preview. I think we are completely done with the design part of the slide. We need to animate this entire object and later on we'll even make a custom transition. Cool stuff. I can't wait to teach that to you. Let's see each other in the next lecture. 36. 06-03. Slide 1 - Animation: You always know that I'm the most happy when we come to the animation part. Let's animate everything step-by-step in a quick and efficient manner. Clicking on the video, on the playback, I can trim the video to make it shorter. If it's too long, it's about ten seconds. And usually those kinds of slides take five-sixths seconds to play. If you don't want people to read too much, just fly over an explainer video animations. I need to give this guy a play animation, so the video starts playing automatically. How to do this? Right-click width previous, so we don't have to click our mouse. Next thing is the text and object. For the text and object, I will be using, of course, flying. It will look very nice within this presentation, I'm using flying and based on the design of the shape. I prefer from left. For the text, I prefer. From bottom. I'll just take both animations. I will select width previous. That'll just extend the duration to 075 and delay the text a little bit so they don't appear together. For the smoothing, I want to select both animations. How to select both animations? Just click on the last one, press Shift, and select the one above double-clicking here. Effect. I want a smooth and for both of them, you can see everything is happening very quickly. And in the next lecture, I will show you a cool trick that will make this text look amazing. Apart from what we did, I can simply copy the existing animations by selecting this object. I can copy over animations to my shapes. Select animation painter, Nao paints the animation over here. Over here, over a hero. Careful, you need to be precise. This one should go from top. This one should go from right. I want delays because I wanted them to 11. After we've already animated the texts, I'll just give it delay, delay, delay. This one, delay, delay, delay, delay. This one should be even later. Let's make a quick review and in the next lecture, I will show you a cool adjustments you can make to make this a really higher-quality video. I think everything happens very quickly. I'll extend it in the next lecture. I will show you why and how in the next lecture. So let's go there. Once you've animated everything like I did here. 37. 06-04. Masterful Text Animation: Let me show you what can be done to the text and the shapes around it. If you select text and the animation itself, this is a flying. I can double-click on it. I can go to its effect options. I can change how the text is animated instead of all at once. I will select by letter. This will make a beautiful slide animation. I'll of course, reduce the percentage of delay to about four. Maybe tweak. It depends on how quick you want the text to appear. Let's see three. This looks really high-quality. One important note is here. This will only look good if you animate from bottom or from right sides. Because if we animate from left, look what happens. The text on roles unfolds a little bit weirdly, if you go from right, we have this nice animation. It should be closer to the right edge from bottom, is absolutely stunning and beautiful. So this is what I want to stay with. If I preview this animation, the rectangles enter a little bit quickly to the scene. So I delayed even further by just one tick mark, at least. Now you can select all three of the animations and I increase their duration. I think we are done with adjustments for this slide. For the transition, I will most likely give it around five or six seconds. The video itself is around ten seconds. If he wants to avoid an errors on or unnecessary, like sometimes PowerPoint has an error and the transition doesn't happen and the video placed until the end. I can prevent that by going to playback, selecting the video, going to playback, and trimming the video a little ultimate to seven seconds, just in case if PowerPoint has some problems or let make it six seconds because I'm surely not going to stay more than six seconds on this slide. This slide now is ready, prepared, and animated. There's one more cool option I can go for. Let's select the shapes. If two, this would be too boring for you. You can go to Animations, animation on top of them and use a little spin. Like currently the spin is completely crazy. But what you can do, you can go right-click with previous. I can reduce the delay so it starts immediately. I can double-click on the spin itself. Effect, not 360. Let's maybe make it 15%, just a small spin back and forth. Smooth start, smooth, end, and outer, reverse. This will make the animation that it will spin one side and another, one side and another. For the timing. I don't want to think about it, so I'll just repeat it until the end of the slide. Now, watch what happens. They will nicely rotate back and forth. This creates a really unique animation when it comes to PowerPoint, because this entire slide, no matter how long it will take, they will move until the end of the slide. In the next lecture, we will continue with the design, and I will show you other cool animation tricks that you can apply to your videos. 38. 06-05. Slide 2 - Cropping Videos: It's easy to crop a picture to your desired shape by going to Picture Format. Under the cropping options, we have cropped to shape and aspect ratio, but we do not have the same options when it comes to video, when it comes to video files, at least at this point in the video format options, under the crop options, there is nothing. I will show you a technique how you can get your videos cropped to any desired size. For example, when you need to perfect rectangles or any other result. Something superb about video cropping that you will surely enjoy. New slide. This time, I hope you've downloaded the resources or you'll use the ones I've provided. Select those three objects, those three videos, and just put them on the slide. What I wanted to do here, I wanted to crop the videos to be perfect rectangles. Now, how to do this because it's a bit inconvenient. Normally if you crop video format, I wanted to crop it to like three inches. But you can see it automatically adjusts the height. If I change the width, even if I go to format video, I go to the adjustments and I de-select to lock the aspect ratio. Now, it gets stretched. I don't want that. If you go to crop, you certainly cannot crop to shape. I have a very simple solution. Just insert a shape. Make the shape to your desired size. I'm sorry, I clicked away. Make the shape to your desired size. For example, three-by-three. So you already have an, a rectangle. Just put it anywhere you want. Now I can take the videos. Maybe I will put the videos in front of it. Bring to front. I can take the videos. I can position them to the corner of the slide shape format. I have this video. I again go to video format and crop, but this time, I can very easily use can see PowerPoint helps me with the size, so I don't need to think when do I hit the three mark? I simply make a shape. I will extend the video right now and I will position the video more towards the middle. Boom crop. And I have a perfectly cropped video with help of the guidelines by PowerPoint. All right, This one, I can see it a bit smaller. Let me adjust it, crop cropping it again to the shape. Perfect. Bring it more to the middle. Depends now on the video itself. Boom, ready, this one as well. Same story, resizing, cropping, cropping to the shape. And I hope this workflow should be a bit easier crop. But if you can bring in a shape, if you can use the PowerPoint guidelines y naught. Now I have perfect rectangles that could be utilized for my design. And this is maybe one of the reasons that you rarely see videos perfectly cropped by people. If you can do this, you are not only a step above other designers, you will also be inclined to do a bit better designs. I hope we can do in the next lecture or something like that, I'll show you what I did here and we will proceed with animations and other fun stuff we can do here by trimming the videos and just completing this entire piece. 39. 06-06. Slide 2 - Design Phones: In this video, I will show you how to properly design a phone like this. It's very debatable whether this is a good design. It's hot. But I kind of like it. We will do something similar format background. I wanted to, my brownish background to like immediately changed the atmosphere of the slide. Since I have rectangles, I can go for a shape. I was going for the rounded rectangle. I was thinking about the phone. So let's do some kind of shaped like that. Beautiful. As you remember, you can de-select the field by growing no fill for the Shape, Outline. We can go for our yellow color. With the yellow color, I can come a little bit closer to my video. I emulate this sort of phone for the rest of the objects. I can insert shapes. You can insert a little rectangle or a normal line. It really depends on you. I will put the line above the video with my arrow keys. I will put it a little bit up, Shape, Outline like that. And for the way, I will increase the weight a little bit to 1, Control D to duplicate it. And we are basically ready with our phone design. What other elements that we need. I put some texts here like shoot, edit, send. For the text, I will just Control C and Control V. We do everything for you. I maybe should use capital letters for the rotation. Definitely go to size rotation. I'll just press 0. So you have normal texts without any rotation on it. Do you want it on the bottom on the on the top side. It's completely up to you. We went for top, so let's do top. Let me select everything besides the text with it a little bit under. And this would be the design. I added some little circles here just to make something happened here because the phone is very empty. Shape Fill, No Fill. We can replicate the steps, boom and boom. And if those are too big for you, you can remember about the site. You can go for 0.10.1 enter and those would become smaller. You can of course, grouped the entire phone by selecting everything. Pressing Shift to deselect this video and pressing Control G. If we add text here, you can again group it together. This would make for a very easy animation. The text depends on you. You can press Control D. Next one. Make it smaller, make it in the middle, and just put it here. Replicate the steps. Beautiful. We have text. We can go for a slimmer font. I went for a slimmer font because it's a bit bolt here, but this is just personal preference. I've grouped it again together. Control D twice, put it in the appropriate place. Control D, Control D. And you would be ready with this kind of design. 40. 06-07. Slide 2 - Animation: In this lecture, we are going to animate this entire slide, including the phones and the videos in them. We will give appropriate delays. So everything enters the screen in a very harmonious way. Let me explain a quick, efficient but highly professional animation process. We've copied the text from the first slide, so we already have some animation on it. But the animation should happen, of course, from top, the text flies from the top side. Now for the phones, I would select all three phones with my Shift click. We will use flying because it is the nicest looking animation here, I will select flying. But currently it is absolutely too boring, extended to 75 or even two, One second. Right-click width previous. And for the delay, I will give it 2.5th 751 second. So everything is a little bit delayed. Group one, group two, group three. For the videos, maybe a different animation. I will select all three videos. And videos will have multiple animations on them. For the videos, I will select Zoom. The Zoom from the middle part. You can see it there is a mouse-click, but I actually want the zoom to happen when the phone appears. When the first phone appears, it ends appearing here. Zooming should start. I will take the Zoom behind this first group and I will just delay it a little bit. Then the next here, delight as well. And then the last phone, delight. Everything should come together nicely. Now we have a very seamless animation. Boom, boom, boom. The videos appear a little too quick. So what do you need to do? You need to delay even further the phone over the ends to animate and then the video appears. Delay, delay. What is a little problem? I also want smooth and for the phones because I want the fonts to look as nice as the text. Double-clicking on the phones effects. Remember that I have all three selected and I will just give it a smooth n. Okay, let me preview what happens on the slide. Beautiful Now, this looks like a professional animation because nothing is overlapping. Anything. I hope I'm saying like this properly. The videos aren't entering the scene quicker than the phones. This looks really good. We could, for example, animate the phone from the left, but we selected from bottom. This looks perfectly fine. Now for adjusting the videos, the videos, I need to set them once again and they want to add an animation that is play. Because obviously you want the animations to start playing. This video enters a little bit later, so we need to shift it forward, but that's for another step. Right-click with previous. And when do you want the animation to happen? Of course, when the videos are already on the scene, you'll just take the first video. Is this the first video? Yes. Place it right next to when it appears, then this right next to when it appears. And then this is where the video appears. It already starts playing. Perfect. Let me preview this. Once again. Widows enter the scene and they immediately start to play. Really nice. Only this phone looks weird. This one looks weird because if we look at the video, only at the very end of the video, something is happening. I want to trim the video a little bit. Also, it's a bit too much to the left side. Video format. Crop. Put it a bit more to the right side. Beautiful. Now the phone is more in the middle of a scene. Crop playback. And you can manually trim the video, just make sure that you leave at least those five seconds. But this is not the most important part because you can simply rewind after playing and loop the video until stop the video boot loop over and over again, even if it has only two seconds, I am removing the beginning part of the video because it basically brings nothing. I want this email to like pop-up and this email. Okay. The phone is shaking. This is perfect. I press Okay. I have maybe like three seconds of the video. That's perfectly fine because under Playback options, I have loop until stop. It will loop, loop, loop. I can preview that if you don't believe me for a couple of seconds, Let's see what happens. The following is shaking. As you can see, it loops, it, loops. It loops. Even though it is a very short video. Barely anyone can notice the loop. So this is perfect. We've completed the animation part of this slide. In the next lecture, I want to show you something completely unique, eight unique transition that barely anyone knows about and very uneven uses only if you take my courses than you probably will know about this. So stay tuned. Let's go to the next lecture. I'm really excited to show you this because it will look fantastic. 41. 06-08. Masterful Transitions: In this lecture, I will teach you how to create a custom transition like this in PowerPoint. Very soon we will proceed to the next slide and the next slide, this time, when they select the Format Background will be yellow. If you want to convince people to work with you and do explain their animation videos for them, you want something unique. And if you go to the PowerPoint conditions, the aren't the most interesting. We have, of course cool animations like the Porsche and of course morph and other reveals, but that's not really cutting it. I will select None. I will give the transition no time. And then going back to the previous slide, create a circle. If you want a circle to do the transition for you, I will position the circle in the middle. If I don't know where the middle is, I can always watch the ruler. View. Ruler if you don't have it opened up. And select Shape, Format, Align, Align Center. This will align this shape perfectly in the center. Make the color of the shape, the color of the next slide. Shape, outline. The outline, shape fill this yellow because the next slide will be yellow. Let me show you a cool animations you can apply. This slide will take approximately five seconds. I'm going to animations line. They select a normal motion path. I set up the motion path for the little circle to go up. I need to adjust it on the red element and I needed to go hire something about this. This would be perfectly fine. Now, when it's here, when this animation ends, I need to, with previous, I need to reduce the duration. I wanted to really quickly come towards the top side. And I want to delay it as long as the slide will play to about five hundred twenty-five, twenty-five years. Okay, I'll just double-click effects, give it a smooth and I will not wait no, because I would need to wait five seconds. This circle will fly into the middle of the screen. Once the circle is in the middle at animation, grocery width previous in delay it a little bit. So it happens after the circle enters the middle of the slide. Delay, delay. You can just eyeball it, delay it a little bit. Reduced iteration to maybe 075. Again, double-click on the animation itself to its effects. Well, smooth, smooth start. It's not really important as long as you give it like 1, 1000% or something that will cover the entire screen, you can try 5, 500%, but I just don't want to waste time. I make one hundred, ten hundred percent so it grows ten times. This should cover the entire slide. Let me make a smooth start and smooth and this is perfectly fine and okay. Look what happens. This slide will proceed to the next slide immediately after all animations finish. When will all animation finished? When five or 645 seconds path, this is a perfect duration. I go to transitions and I select after 0 seconds instead of on mouse-click. This tells PowerPoint that when all animations have played continue immediately, you can even go for six seconds, but the slide will not proceed until all animations have played. That is, 645. Animations have priority over transitions. I hope this makes sense. It's just important that you remember that all animations need to play before the slide proceeds. Let me show you what happens to the presentation now. Our slide, we'll be flying. Blah-blah-blah, shoot edit done. Five seconds are passing. And we have this beautiful transition right now. You don't know it, but we are on the next slide. We are on this last slide immediately after this animation happens, without you even noticing. And this is how you make those super cool transitions. You can have multiple circles like puh, puh, puh, a cool transition, yet very nice sounds. Thank you. This kind of cool transition can be made with PowerPoint, but as you can see with something carrying and manual animating, I would like those transitions to be native options within PowerPoint, we're not there yet. Hopefully I can tell Microsoft HAPE at those transitions. Currently they are not adding them, but maybe in the future. So let's currently know how to design them. Let's do this together and we'll proceed to the next slide. I will show you another cool trick there. Of course. 42. 06-09. Slide 3 - Design: Within this lecture, we are going to design and animate this entire slide. What's beautiful about the presentation we did. We already have so many prepared and animated elements because we animated everything on the flight. I want this to be very consistent. So let's just press Shift, select the shapes, select this shape, select this shape, control C and control V. I have basically a ready slide. I will put this shape here. Just for fun. I'll put this shape on top of it because it's a negative color. The only adjustments basically I need to make, as you can see, we have already the delays applied. I can take this animation and just make it happen from left. So it enters this shape from left. Beautiful for the text. If you remember my trick, of course, the color is now wrong. Home. Select the brown color. Right-click, formal shape, sizing. And for the rotation, I want 0%. What did we get in touch? Getting touched, get in touch, get in touch. This is perfect. The text is already animated here. I love it. Control D to duplicate the text. I want this animation to happen kind of together with this text. Maybe going to animations in delaying it a little bit to 2.5th. This text comes in later. I want to click on this text fonts and I want to give it a more light font, quicksand, light, quick center dash. A bit over the top. Quicksand sounds like making it a little smaller in the middle. The middle as well. Get in touch like ww website com and the contact information you want to put here. And let's preview what animation is. Do we have here? Really beautiful, that x could also come in from the right side. So I can select both of the textboxes. Shape Format or not shaped format animations, effect options from right. Beautiful, every nice animation, of course, the shapes I already have here, Let's make a composition out of them. All three, this is my shortcut for recoloring items. As you can see, it's really convenient and if you are a board by those shapes, you can even go to Shape Format, edit shape, change shape, and make a arrow from it would look a little bit different. So if this is what you prefer, no problem for the hand, this is just a little fun thing to do. I just wanted to give a thumbs up here. The hand is a little funny and the hand should fly in as well. I don't want to waste time on making animations soil. Just take the text. Animations. Animation painter, because I already know this has a flying animation. Why shouldn't the hand have the same animation? The hand should be around, around where the text appears. I can move it here if I prefer to do that. Around here, should the hand should appear. Animation. Fly out, okay, flyout should be perfectly fine. It looks really funny. And this is what they wanted to achieve with this picture for gene that has the hand, a little bit of delay. And this is what we have. Let's preview our entire animated slide. Like this enters too late. This should enter together at the shape, but those are just small delay and adjustments. The hand is a little boring and entering too quick, so I will delay the hand. Delay it like that. It just a matter of personal preference. What happens here? I think this slide would be completely animated. Maybe the rotations are a bit too similar. You can always change them, just delay them a little bit so they don't start together. You can even double-click effects and give them different rotations. For example, here, 12 enter when T1 and we have different rotations on those three shapes. In the next lecture, I will not teach you, not just about exporting, about timing everything properly and knowing how long the video will take. So a really important lecture. Let's head over to the next lecture where we will do those interesting things. 43. 06-10. Timing: In this lecture, we will work with timing. I will explain you everything you need to know about the animation and transition step. We will also talk about videos because the length of the video also influences how PowerPoint proceeds to the next slide. Let me time the presentation properly. I want to close the presentation with the same animation I did here. Animation transition. The transition after six seconds. Again, I don't have to do anything. I will just select the color and make it black. So everything or black or brown shape fill maybe black. Black would be completely fine. Now, taking this slide, I want this slide to proceed after around five seconds. Transitions. Instead of a mouse-click after 12345, maybe six. So it isn't as quick six seconds. Then the very short transition, do we have a transition? We don't have any transition. What we can do, we can again copy this, but it would be 645. If 645 is okay. Or I can reduce the delay. Five seventy, five hundred fifty. And this five, this slide will end at 625. Perfect. This color should be brown, because the next slide will be brown. Around. This slide. Transitions after six seconds. Perfect. This slide. After. Again, like the animation needs to play, I can put the animation a little bit closer. This slide would end 555, just to make sure I make five seconds here as well. Just so PowerPoint knows that this is around the time we want to transition. And let's preview everything should transition after 625 and when the animations happen, 12345612345, 6123. And something isn't happening here. What isn't happening? In my opinion, I think I made a mistake and the presentation didn't proceed. The problem I see here is the duration of the video. If the video duration is longer, powerpoint automatically wants to play the animation until the end before we proceed, it respects animations over transitions. What you need to do, you need to reduce the duration of the videos to those six seconds? Let's go to video format or other playback. Trim video. It needs to be trimmed to six seconds, no matter where you start, it shouldn't be longer than six seconds. This is completely fine. It will just rewind. Twin video. I will start the video here. Eight seconds plus six will be 14. Now, the videos aren't longer than six seconds. I will press do I have the Looping Options enabled? Loop onto stop, perfect shift of 5123456. The animations should happen properly. Now 12345, finished. Beautiful. We've did everything. This video will take around 20 seconds, went exported. In the next lecture, I wanted to show you how, because it is also very important and stay tuned for that lecture. 44. 06-11. Slide Stays Too Long: Before we finalize this product, I want to troubleshoot one thing. If you export this to video and this slide is staying too long after this one screen, even though the animation of the transition happens, it covers the screen and the slide still stays there. This means that probably in the background, the video is still playing. You need to make sure that you click on the video and you trim it to approximately the amount that the slide should take. In my case, this slide takes, as you can see, is 7.8. So at around eight seconds, this slide needs to end. This video shouldn't be longer than 67 or eight seconds, depending on where you have this transition. I will go to Playback, trim, and I will make sure that my video ends no later than seven seconds because at seven seconds already the oval will cover the screen. Else, if we export these to video PowerPoint things. Before I proceed to the next slide, let me just finish the video. And this slide goes on forever before the video ends, until it finally goes to the next slide. Keep that in mind. Death a little problem when we export files to a video and we have videos themselves in PowerPoint. 45. 06-12. Proper Exporting: Before I export it, did you notice the super trickier? The reason why the transitions are so important because they are masking the video. Normally. If I go to the next slide, I go to transitions. And if, for example, give a fate transition, let's say that this phase transition will take two seconds to change to this next slide. If I go back, Let's remove this condition. Look what happens. The video plays. When the transition starts to happen, the video will freeze down. This is how PowerPoint works. You can see the video froze, and you need to watch this video for like half of the transition. It is frozen. If you cover this up with a transition like I did here, basically, it's invisible when the transition happens and the video stops. It's covered by this transition. This is very important why you need to use those little gimmicky transitions made by yourself when you work with videos within PowerPoint. This is my super advanced freak. Anybody to stay ahead of the competition. Now for the exporting, it is a very simple. Now in PowerPoint, you can go to File Export and just export the video. Remember that you need to hide slides that you do not want to be exported, since we have two of the same animations here. Let me bring that transition back Height slide. If I count the durations, it should be six, like 18 below 20 seconds. It should be around 20 seconds. This is completely fine. File Export. Create a video if you have the newest version of PowerPoint, PowerPoint to 21 or the office truck 65 subscription or any newer version, you will have access to the ultra HD for K resolution. I would suggest you do this because this renders a 60 FPS video. It's not about size, it's about the FPS. Just create a video, use recorded timings and iterations. Yes, we have recorded some timings generations because we have animations on them and just hit Create a Video and safety video. It takes awhile to export. You can see on the bottom here, one eternity later. Very often you have to export a couple of times to remove any errors or one error I had was that transition that I added the fate, and it had two seconds of duration, I needed to remove that. And then another little problem. This green line appeared when exporting those three videos. What I had to do, I had to crop them a little bit. They are no longer rectangles because I had to crop a little from the bottom. But that's not really a big issue. And PowerPoint had some mistake. Sadly, we need to crop this a little, take this yellow line, place it a little higher, and just export the video again. After I exported it again. If everything works really okay, sometimes those mistakes happen. Powerpoint isn't the perfect rendering machine. So just take this into consideration when you export your videos. 46. 07-01. Versions: If you're already take your shoes off, make some tea. From the resources open. The more of training in the morgue training, I will explain you a couple of things about this feature. Firstly, this is a feature that has been added in PowerPoint 2019. And only dispersion and newer versions will be able to use transitions morph. If you have PowerPoint 2016, as you can see here, you can play more of animations. This is completely fine. You cannot use them, but you can at least open the presentation and play them. This is at least something. If you have PowerPoint 2019 for Mac or for Windows, there shouldn't be an issue. You can simply create more as you please. And any newer version above that will of course have the Morph transition, the older versions, the 2016 for Mac and an older version has simply fade transition instead of the Morph because those versions didn't have it implemented yet. This is all I wanted to share about versions. You have the official Microsoft article here. You can Control click to read about it a little bit more and to learn a little bit more before I explain it to you. 47. 07-02. How is Morph used: In the upcoming lectures, I will explain you the more future how to technically use it and what it does to your PowerPoint product. But here I'd like to give you a visual preview. Don't do anything within this lecture. This is one of the lectures I've created. And what the moral tradition allows you to do is basically adding animations without animating anything. If I delete animations, I take my existing slides and I duplicate it. And I move objects around, for example, outside of the screen or to the bottom part of the screen. Yet they are the same element that they were on the previous slide. If you click on the morph, it will do the movement for you. This can create many unique opportunities to animate. For example, here, I had texts on the top side. Let's assume that you want to get rid of text number four, number five, number six. And look what happens. I would have the presentation and going to the next slide, I know that they would move outside of the screen. When I click More. You can see they disappear. But it is also difficult because the items have to stay here above the slide. If I just delete them, then what do you think What PowerPoint will do? It will no longer have information. Hey, this text moved here. I should move it no, no longer. If I click More right now, they will simply fade out. This is why sometimes you can simply use the fade-out transition, but the Morph transition gives you far more opportunities to utilize animations in PowerPoint, you can combine the more feature with animations and with changes. For example, this slide, if I would plan to explain you just this 1, move the text away. I would make this bigger. Place it in the middle and clicking the more would do everything for me. You can see something beautiful in the upcoming lectures. I want to go for a more theoretical approach and show you the technical capabilities of this feature. 48. 07-03. Way to think: If you have older versions of PowerPoint, just watch the lectures. If you have at least PowerPoint 2019. In this lecture, we will prepare this first simple transition animation with the Morph transition, which looks like that. This section is not mandatory to follow. But if you want to work along me, open the slide with the three basic boring blue objects. You can take an existing slide the way you think about more. You think what was on the previous slide. If the same items were on the previous slide, they can morph. What I mean by that. Let me take this slide and duplicated duplicating the existing slide. Makes sure the same objects on this slide. I will take the three objects. I will make them smaller, maybe by pressing Alt, Control and Shift so I can make them smaller. Towards its middle point, I will go to Shape Format, and change their color to any color I want, for example, green because morphing also more scholars and just place them into different positions. I think one of the cooler animations we can do is putting them behind this slide. You will see what's happening. If you go to transitions and click on Morph. Powerpoint, takes information from the previous slide about those three objects and tries to animate them based on what we did here. If I press on morph, such a beautiful animation normally would be very difficult to achieve. You would need to use, if you remember, you would need to use line animations, grocery animations. You would need to do everything manually. Here with one click, you get that done. And you can just build and build and build upon that. You can duplicate this slide. Now enlarge this object in the middle. Again, this is larger. Place this here and this here. Click on morph and look what happens there. You can see everything came back together. This way. You can create a variety of interesting animations. I've put a couple of slides here. This works also with pictures. You have a picture and on the next slide you will use the same picture, but for example, enlarge it or change it. Look what happens. Powerpoint is automatically morphing. If it's the same picture, the same goes for shapes. It's just liquid the circles. I have some objects here. I have the same objects but just rearranged. If you want, you can rearrange them as well and just resize them and see what happens when you click on Morph, look how beautiful and PowerPoint does everything for us. You can practice a little bit, click with objects around, and just press on morph to see what happens. 49. 07-04. Transition, not animation: I'm telling you how beautiful and wonderful This feature is, but what are the problems of it? The problems of it are exactly what you can think of this as a transition, not an animation. If you do voiceovers for a video, the voiceover When you record yourself isn't picking up when it transition happenings. And if the entire animation is a transition, your voice will not record when the objects move. What you could do, you could simply when you use more for your explainer videos or any kind of videos, you can wait until more finishes. Then you can record yourself again. This is in my opinion, a bit inconvenient because we need to wait for the animation to happen. The next problem or maybe a lack of features is that we can only adjust the duration of the Morph. If I adjust the duration to three seconds, this entire animation will take three seconds. It simply is slower, but I cannot change the smoothing. I cannot add any bouncing, I cannot interpellate the animation itself. For example, here, I would like the scissors to move faster and the objects move later. I can't do that because I have only one option here using the morph, and I have only one option here, changing its duration. Those are the downsides to the Morph transition. In the next lecture, I want to show you something else and something very important, two very important things about morph before we proceed with anything. So stay tuned, listen to it. You don't have to work with it. You can play around, but it's important that you listen closely right now. 50. 07-05. Keep it grouped: I want to be thorough again and explain you everything before we do anything with morpheme, I'm almost wrapping here. If I go to animations and open the animation pane, I have a group of objects here. I can add wipe, I can add another animation pause, I can add another animation fade. I have three animations on this group of items. What happens if I ungroup them? All animations disappear because PowerPoint doesn't know, Hey, do you want animations on those objects still? Or where you're meaning to just have animations on the group. So the default Powerpoint deletes animations. It's very similar when it comes to the morphing. Let's say that on this slide I have a group of items. On the next slide, I have the same items, but they are ungrouped. Essentially what PowerPoint things? Those are separate objects now, they are named differently. If I go to transitions and I click on Morph, you can see PowerPoint no longer knows that this group is meant to be animated because it's no longer a group. And if I would keep the group control G, look what happens even though a group them back again. I am not certain that the morphing will work what I would need to do now if I've ungrouped and made some mistakes here, I need to delete, I need to duplicate the previous slide, and I need to make sure that I use the same exact items and resize them. For example, like that. I could even move them. Could I move them? Let's see what PowerPoint does morph. You can see everything morphed with the one item I moved. Powerpoint no longer knows, hey, this was within the group but it did move that you want it to morph or did you want it to fade away? This is a little problem I see with the morph feature. I think there's still something to be done with the future, but it's really good. But you also need to know about depth, little problems that can occur when you ungroup something. 51. 07-06. !! Feature: In this lecture, I want to show you an important feature in PowerPoint. If you morph one slide into the other, by default, Powerpoint decides which objects it will morph into. I want to show you how you can decide into which of those three objects the previous slide will morph into. This is the one most important feature about the morphing that I want to highlight. Here we have a light bulb. Let me duplicate this slide. Make this lightbulb smaller. Duplicated a bunch of times, for example, I've duplicated it three times. Now, what do you think morph will do? Will it morphed the icon number one, icon number two, or number three? I'm not even sure. I think the middle one, the last one, but it morphs the last one. But what about these? I wanted personally that the first one will be morphed. What can you do here? You can go back to this slide, go to Home, select, Open the selection pane and give this light bulb and name. And before you give the name, make two exclamation marks. Two exclamation marks. Alcohol is Bowlby. On this slide, I will do the same. I will select the one I want it to morph into. I'll call it exclamation mark, exclamation mark Bowlby. They should now morph into each other because the other, they are called group 23, group 44, but this one has the exclamation marks and the same name. So PowerPoint notes. You should morph into this one. Take a look, transitions more. And this is the genius tree like here before. You don't have to do anything. Now, look at this slide. I wanted this circle to move to the right side. But the power byte morphing, when I click on this slide, PowerPoint thought, hey, this one is closer, I will just morph this one. Look what happens. Morph, instead of going across, it goes bottom. I wanted it to move across. So again, same principle over one. Hey dude, exclamation, exclamation, oval one. I'll just copy that over. I'll give the same name to this one. Now, I made sure that PowerPoint knows, hey, I don't want you to move bottom. I want you to move across the slide, look at that more. Everything works now, according to my decision, not what PowerPoint thought is convenient for it. This is a very important piece of information when it comes to morph animation. I hope you do enjoy that and we can build upon the knowledge we gained right now in the future and emissions we do. Let's proceed. 52. 08-01. Preview and text: Welcome In today's lectures, let us quickly preview what we plan to create with the Morph transition. A simple explainer video like that, talking about education. So the script will be very simple. Education went from offline to online, then to hybrid. This is everything. I want to show you. A couple of cool steps to begin with. I've used a font called been pro black. If you wanted to use the same font, you can search for it. Here I have a Google search link or a direct link to the font. If this link doesn't work anymore, just use the Google link. You can simply download the font, you can unpack it. Then just open, open, right-click and you can simply install it on your system. I have it already installed. So I'll skip this step. Once you have a font prepared, are you chose a different one? Let's search together for an illustration that would work with our script. 53. 08-02. Illustration: If you take a brief look at the script, we are talking about education. Ideally, I would like a picture or an illustration that displays both online learning and offline learning. In one illustration, if not, we will use two separate illustrations. On the next slide, you already see that I found on picture that displays both of them. I have done link, of course we will use stories that because I have properly divided SVG images here. But what I was searching for it, I was typing in education, online, learning offline those kind of keywords into websites like free pig. And we have some cool results here. Even the same stories at items. But not only that. Later on I went into story set a and this was unbeatable. Just look at this picture. For example, that picture displays both education offline education online with this laptop headphones and the talking guy. This was absolutely perfect. I just got rid of the background or maybe simplifying it or just deleting this by hand. It doesn't matter. If you want other images. I also found something really cool on android.co. I typed an online or maybe not on it. I typed in learning. This would be perfect for offline learning. And this would be very nice for online learning. As you can see from different websites, we could gather really good resources. I used, of course this one because it's more than perfect. It displays both things at the same time in a consistent design manner. So I will just download this SVG, put it into my PowerPoint, ungroup it, and continue the work from there. 54. 08-03. Slide 1 - Education: In this lecture, we are going to design the first slide. Let's put the illustration into PowerPoint and let's add the text on top of it. Let me start from scratch, just like you probably will with this presentation, I will put the SVG link and the SVG file right into my presentation. Right-click group. Group. I will press yes. And I have everything perfectly ungrouped into smaller sections. I do really like this. At first we will design the slides and then we will more of an animated. This is how we work with morphine. The first thing I wanted to put on this slide was education because this will be an explainer video without any voiceover, I want to make sure that I have the same color selected. So if you've downloaded the orange one without changing the color, just hit the font eyedropper and try to use the same color. I think this would look much more natural and consistent. The way we will work with more, we will duplicate the existing slides and we will build upon that. So this would be our design part for the first lecture, but the first slide in the next lecture, I want to show you how to build on top of that with the Morph transition, prepare an image like that. Just entered the SVG, insert the font, you can type it in manually. You can copy it from my script and we can continue from there. 55. 08-04. Slide 2 - From offline: To achieve such a result, we will exhibit the full force and potential of the more feature. I will show you how to connect it with the previous slide to achieve this result. I want to show that education went from this to this. Luckily, I have everything set within this slide, so I will just Control D, duplicate this slide. Now with the more feature, you need to know that you don't want to just delete items. You should just move it outside the screen. What this does, if you go to transitions and select Morph, you can see it nicely moves away from the screen later on if you need to bring it back, you already will have it outside of the slide. It's a bit inconvenient. I understand it's a bit unnatural to work like that, but once you understand the more feature, you'll have no problems with it. Don't worry. Now, education, I wanted one from offline, from the traditional way of learning into online. The same goes for the text. Don't just delete the education texts because if I delete this right now and press more, you can see that these texts will just disappear. But if I don't delete it, if I may be moving towards the top side of the slide or outside its borders, if I go morph, it nicely, moves away. It could even move away to the same direction if this is what you prefer, press more. I think this is cool. What would be even cooler if this text would come in from the right side? Now, how to achieve this? At first, I want to have the same consistent color. How to achieve that? This text will fly in. Instead of disappearing. I would need to copy the text. I would need to go back to the previous slide and put it on the previous slide. I know this is a bit weird and inconvenience, but this is exactly how morphing works. You have a complete picture. You duplicate this slide, you separate it into smaller pieces. And then if you want those pieces to move around, you need to put them on the previous slide as well. Sadly, I know this is a bit counter-intuitive, but once you do it a few times, you will have no problems at all. I will also delete this part in the previous slide as well. I want to delete this bottom part because it will only get in the way. I can take this a little bit towards the middle, and I think this is completely fine. Let's preview what the morphing would do currently. This barely didn't move, but this move to the left, and I really do enjoy this. In the next slide, we will move that back into the frame and we will remove this one. So stay tuned. So we assembled slide number three together. 56. 08-05. Slide 3 - To Online: Within this lecture, we are going to prefer this slide. If at any given point you don't know, like we're from digit animate. Always go to the previous slide to take a look. If it is here. I can see the two online and those objects are here. This means that they will animate from the left side in if I preview the morph, this is what we wanted to achieve. Let's get into the lecture. Let us talk about online. I have this slide. I just duplicate this slide because I want to build upon items I have and I want to add some movement. This slide should take this away. I'll put it here. The text, I will show you a cool trick with morphine. It's really nice if you put the text not just above it, but further away. This will make a different image and look, if I put it right here and I press the morph, it will just go away together. But if I put this further away, the motion of them will be different. Maybe I should do it the other way around. This would look cooler because I wanted this object to move slower. All right, First the object disappears, then the text follows. This is just a little trick. I know. It's a bit weird, but this is how we have to do it. Now, bring that back. This should look really cool and went from offline to online. I need the text. I don't have it yet to online. For for my color. You remember what we did. We don't need the education back, but we need this text. I will Control C and Control V on the previous slide, because I think it should fly in from the top side to assemble together with that, like difficult mathematics are going on right now in PowerPoint, but you will get the idea once you work with it. Click on morph to preview what's happening. Maybe the online text should be more from the left side. Currently it will fly in from the left side towards this slide. Look at that more beautiful. Who would expect that this slide was made in PowerPoint? If I go from the previous slide to this slide, I do think personally this is a really cool and interesting animation. This is how easy it was if you can't imagine like what's happening here, first, click on faith. So this is a simple slide, it just transferred into this one. Then the morph, it will become more transparent for you. Alright, we didn't need the education textbook. I'm not deleting it because maybe we use it in on the next slide. Who knows? On the next lecture, I love course builds upon what we already have and try to assemble both of them together. So stay tuned. We will think of something nice to do there. 57. 08-06. Bonus - Morphing Text: Before I finish this, I want to show you a little trick you can do with morphine. Morphine, apart from the 99% of the times, you probably will use morphing objects, but there is also morphing words and morphing characters. Characters. If the same characters appear, they will shift around. And words, words can be really cool, or also those types of animations, like look at this slide before I do slide number four, until D Control D Control D, Control D. I have everything copied to online to offline, To weird. Nothing. Just changing words. If I would do more of on these slides, more but morphing the words, it would nicely fade on those words. If you would have an explainer video consisting just of texts or smaller icons and the text being the main part, then you could do really simply, you wouldn't have to fade in anything. You would just do those types of animations. This is a cool little trick you can know for the future. Of course. You can say like, why don't I just do a fatal mission? Yes, you can do a fade animation, but the morph animation will look a bit different. And if you, for example, decide to morph between letters, here's, here it is called characters. You'll see something like that will happen. You can see they are moving around. I am not a fan of this animation. I just wanted you to know that the morph feature has those three features. 90% or 99% of the time, you will stick with the main objects filter. But from time to time, there might be a project with texts. And you might consider this function. 58. 08-07. Slide 4 - To Hybrid: With this lecture, we will design this slide and I want to show you something about the drawer type and how to animate hand drawn arrows. So the end result would look like this. The slide comes in and the lines animate. Let us do is slide number four. Let me delete everything I don't need and to online to hybrid. Again, copying the previous slide. Luckily I have this still there. If I wouldn't have this little there, I will just copy the first slide where everything is. Alright, I will copy slide number three. And I want to tell two hybrids. Since both of the objects should be right now here, I will maybe copy this over here. Then I'll bring this here. Let me briefly preview what's happening. Morph. I don't like that this is fading away. Maybe just maybe it would be nicer if it was to online. So I would bring this to the top side. I would bring this to hybrid. This way, it will flow into this slide. What you remember, What do I need to do? I need to have the same on the previous slide. I had education, I will just change it to hybrid. And look what happens now if I select Morph. I do think this animation looks much cleaner, much better if the text flies away and changes into this one, instead of just fading between the texts. I do really enjoy this since we are using the newest version of PowerPoint, why don't we use the Draw tab? I want to establish what color I've used here. Shape, Format, Shape, Fill. I have my recent colors. I will just briefly click on the rows, click on more fill colors. And I want to copy the hex code. Control C to copy the hex code. Now I can go to the Draw tab. I can select one of the pens. I can increase it, its thickness. I think this should be okay for colors. I want to paste the same color that I used to hybrid and I will do something like that. This looks horrible. I apologize for that. The better I saved, the better. It will look like perfect. I think I did a good job or maybe not. Maybe this looks completely weird. Those arrows are pretty cool. Now, if I press escape to release my pen, you can notice that those are drawn objects, new objects into PowerPoint within animations, in the animation pane, you can replay them. It basically replace what you did. What I will do, the Morph transition ends and then I will press replay. Then replay that one. I have two animations. In my opinion, they are way too slow. Duration, reduce duration, right-click with previous. So I can decide when the animation starts. Delay it by a bit. I will just double-click effect. And there are no smoothing effects because the smoothing is already your hand and mouse movement. You'd end up with a slide number four, like that. Boom. Let me maybe go to the previous slide to online. Hybrid. Pretty cool options. The drawing features can be really useful if you want to highlight underline or draw anything in PowerPoint. If you think that you didn't do a good job, you can always click on it shipped format. You can always click on it on the drawing tab and you can try to force PowerPoint to change it into a shape. I'm not sure what will happen now. It changed it into a line. As you can see, it's not perfect, but if you want the line to look a bit more organic, PowerPoint gives you another option. It can make it a little bit more organic. That's a really nice feature when working with the drawing objects. I do prefer what I did, those beautiful lines. I will leave it at that. And in the next lecture, I will show you some adjustments. And basically we can finish this entire animation exploited. Consider how long it will take, and we can decide upon that within the next lecture. See you there. 59. 08-08. Adjustments: Here, just for additional funds, I prepared some like little objects, animated them in and out, so the slide won't be as boring. This is completely optional, but if nothing is happening in this slide, you probably want some hand movements or you want those, for example, notes flying. And how would you go about this? Here? There was music, I'll show it on this slide. It doesn't really matter. Insert. I went for icons because I have my Microsoft 365 subscription. I just went for music. I press okay, and I went for any type of icon that relates to music like this node. Inserting a node, I could put it here. I could recolor it to the appropriate color. For the animations. You can simply go for fade-in or anything at animation lines, or maybe even float out. It would simply float out. I would change the animation to float up. And this would give me this little graphic animation. I would delay this by a little bit. I would probably duplicate them multiple times. I would make them bigger or smaller. And this is how you can add little effects to your presentations. Of course, this should be delayed. This is how it looks. Some notes, some icons appear and they float around. Of course, this float here too high. It should start from the headphones as well. Delay, delay, delay, delay. And basically, this is a little result we can get. If you don't want this light to be boring. 60. 08-09. Timing: In this lecture, I want to set the timing of the entire presentation so we know how long it takes when export it to a video. When it comes to their timing transitions, you can decide the timing of the transition. Here. The fate itself, or rather than morph itself, takes two seconds. By default, the first slide can be faded in 2.5th, but the next slides will be morphed, morphed, morph. This always takes two seconds to play. You can decide how long this slide it should display to the viewer. In my opinion, this slide should display for maximum amount of three seconds. After three seconds, it should proceed to this slide. And this is how you go about it through the entire presentation. Here. Two seconds of morph. The animation itself takes two seconds, and then like two or three seconds to proceed forward. I don't think that anyone needs longer. Let me preview the first two slides because I have already timed them. They should take about 3.534 or 5.567 seconds, and we should be here 78 seconds and we should see two online. Let's preview if we did everything correct. 12 34567 and my first mixed lake, we are almost there but what stuck longer? If you go to the first slide, I watched the notes. The notes and at 325, animations are more important than the transitions. So 325. And how the second of the faith, this slide takes 375 to play almost four seconds for the first slide, I think we could even reduce this a little bit by just dragging this back and mention it didn't have to be that delight. This animation ends now, 2.5. I think we can go for 2.5 for the transition as well, 2.5 enter. And this is completely enough for the first slide. If I preview it again, it will take a total of three seconds for this entire slide, because we have 2.5 seconds of animations and 2.5th of duration. I don't even have to do this because I am, I like to put the same amount that the animations have just for reassurance because later on I may decide, oh, let's delete this animation. What would happen? This slide would move immediately forward. But if I have the reassurance here, it will take no less than 2.5 seconds to proceed. This is why often, even though I have animations, I put this timing here as well to at least be comparable to the animations. I've talking. This slide will take 34 seconds. 123, go exactly. Everything is timed perfectly. You could export those kind of presentation just by hitting every other slide. Right-click, hiding this slide. And we could export a video by going to File. Export, create a video and decide if you want a full HD or four. Okay, what's important? This will be 30 FPS. This will be 60 FPS, faster moving video or rather more frames during 1 second. This will go for a much smoother approach. I do wish that PowerPoint will give a switch to us. Hey, do you want a full HD, 30 FPS or 60 FPS? Of course I want that 60 FPS, but PowerPoint suddenly it doesn't give us this option. So we have to use the 4k video if we want to render 60 FPS. This is everything I have about this animation. Sorry for making this lecture long because I wanted to explain the timings because they are so crucial and important to understand when it comes to making explainer videos and any kind of video within PowerPoint. Thank you and see you in next lectures. 61. 09-01. Hiding Slides: In this lecture, we'll talk about hiding slides and the impact it has on an exported video. Here, meet briefly out when it comes to exporting presentations to video. You want to make sure that slides that you plan to not include individual or a hidden. You also must make sure that any video and music that plays in the presentation somewhere, you can trim it down. If you loop it in the background and set it to plain background, it should work properly. But sometimes I've had instances where I put in audio track or a video. I just animated it on one slide. I put the animation on go. I exported video and the video basically was empty and running until the end of the music track. Even if the music prep had three minutes, make sure that everything is cleaned up. Probably you will have to re-render. And if you want to save your time, just try to make everything properly. On the first run, I've hidden slides by right-clicking and hide them. Height slide. If you want to be aggressive, you simply delete the slides that you don't want to be exported. If I go to File Export, create a video right now, I will export only those four slides. I hope this is perfectly understandable. In the next lectures are going to show you a couple of curiosities that you should listen to, no matter what version of PowerPoint you use. 62. 09-02. Timing: Transition duration, slight duration, and animations all play their part in setting the time for your presentation into timings, you need to take three things into consideration. The duration of the transition. If you want no transition, then you select none. It says auto. By default, this is like 0 because no transition is happening. If you go for a fate, for example, the duration changes to a normal duration, but you can even reduce the duration. I usually reduce the duration of transitions. Let's be honest. Who wants to wait until this falls over? You would probably at least once to spare the time of people and make the following over a little quicker. This would make up 1 second of my video. The next part is, how long do you want this slide to stay visible to viewers? I have it set to 2.5 seconds. And depending on the animations, if the animation is take two points, five seconds as well, this slide will proceed after that time. If I extend the animations, animations are more important than the transitions. Animations must play to an end before the slide proceeds. If the animation duration or the Play Animation exceeds the timing of the slide. Of course, this slide will proceed immediately after the last animation has played because this slide should proceed already after 2.5 seconds. But since my animation ends at around five, it will proceed around five. Be very careful when you record representations, because if you record representations, I can't watch on this transition. If you record your presentations on current slide. And no matter if you use the microphone or not, I will just wait, wait, wait. This presentation could take awhile longer. You can see, even though my animation is played, this slide still stays there. I'm ending my recording, I'm exiting this recording. And remember that within the transitions, automatically the transition extended itself to the duration of my recording. This is something to consider when your time, your presentation and when your time you're exporting, makes sure that you always take a look at the transition. You can reduce it manually. Just make sure that if you make a voice-over, you don't cut the voice-over out. 63. 09-03. Native 4k 60FPS: Since PowerPoint to 21 and PowerPoint 365, finally, we can export videos to 60 FPS. Let me show you a brief preview of this animation that I exported in 30 FPS and 60 FPS until if you see the difference, it may be that the video you watch here is processed down to 30 FPS, and both videos will be the same. But trust me, 60 in FPS is much smoother for the human eye. We are used to all those games, videos, and animations that use high frame rate. Thus, an animation that has 60 FPS is more desirable. Within the videos I've exported, this was exported in full HD. If I go to its details, I can see foliage 30 FPS frame rate for the 60 FPS video. You can see on the details that I have a higher resolution because we cannot avoid that and a 60 FPS frame rate. This is a game changer when it comes to PowerPoint. And in the next lecture, you'll see why. As I told, no matter what your version is, please watch the next lecture. It's very important. If you want 60 FPS video, makes sure that when you go to File Export, create a video, you select ultra HD. Sadly, Microsoft doesn't give an option. I hope in the future there will be an option, 30, FPS, 60, maybe 120. Powerpoint isn't a dedicated render machine like Adobe Media Encoder, but it can get the job done and export a video. And luckily, we can now use the Forky video. It's not so much about the resolution S for the frame rate, we have 60 frames here, 30 frames on all the smaller formats. Sadly, we cannot change fully G2, 60 FPS, but there is a trick, but it's very inconvenient that I'll show you right now. 64. 09-04. What we had to do with PPT 2016: You may think, why is his dressing so much about FPS 60 FPS, full HD, whatever? Not exactly. Because if I create media for online presence, I create online courses, videos. I want everything to look good, look crisp, and look very buttery smooth, especially in animation, since I'm used to working in After Effects. Adobe's programs give you complete freedom when it comes to Frame Rate choice and any other choices when it comes to creating videos, I would like PowerPoint to be better and better with video. And finally, we have that moment, that PowerPoint becomes better with video previously. And I'm showing this as a curiosity. Don't copy that previously to export a video from PowerPoint at 60 FPS, I even tried to record my screen when the presentation plays didn't work properly. There was a script floating around the Internet. Everyone uses the same script. I had to always manually copy the script. Go-to basically view open macros. Let's not something you want to do each time you want to export volume. I can give any name to the macro, doesn't matter. I had to copy over the script and close the macro. Now, when I was already at my PowerPoint, I can go to Macros, this PowerPoint video macro and run, running this macro would export and 60 FPS video, full HD quality, even on older versions of PowerPoint. The functionality in PowerPoint 201920162013 was already there. Microsoft for some reason, didn't allow us to export 60 FPS. We had to use a custom scripts to achieve that with our videos. Why is that? I cannot answer on this. I do hope that this will be no issue in the future and we will be able to select frame rates and everything we want to export for videos, PowerPoint, as I mentioned, is becoming better and better when it comes to creating videos in it, animations are slowly getting better. The record tab is really good right now, exporting forecast 60 FPS. Am really excited about this. I hope what you saw now with the macro will be only a curiosity in your mind and not something tedious that you will have to do. Remember, if I would save this presentation, go to another place like create a new animation. I would again needs to import this macro basically by hand, copied over to export 60 FPS video. A video feature that already PowerPoint works with. Why wasn't it an AT feature or a hotfixes or some addition? Who knows? I hope you enjoy even this section when you only listen about exporting, this is a very important topic I want you to understand properly. No more talking. Thank you so much for listening to this and see you. 65. 10-01. Thank You!: With high-five. Thank you so much for arriving at this 0.8. Very brief conclusion. I wanted this course to be slow, patient, and very thorough on the topic. I would really appreciate if you'd give me a positive review for the course. Thank you for arriving here. I hope you both enjoyed the animations and maybe we'll add some animations in the future. So stay tuned. See you and hear you another time.
