It's not possible yet to Morph and keep the video playing, but there is a way you can move and zoom video. You can use Motion Paths and the Grow / Shrink emphasis. The only difficulty with this is that it's harder to position the elements on the slides, as you would be working with just one slide (compared to multiple with Morph), where you could end up with a lot of Motion Paths. Here's an example of video moving with Motion Paths and Grow / Shrink - www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/y99fwf20ohf4h0ypk7f23/PowerPoint-Skillks-Motion-paths-and-grow-shrink.pptx?rlkey=txp9zifsmhipi1jhyf5g28b1h&dl=0

That's right, you just make sure the image is big enough to cover the slide if you are panning it. I normally Zoom in and pan at the same time, but if it was big enough, you could also just pan if you wanted. So you could basically scale it up manually to make it big enough for the pan you are going to do.

Great, glad you could use this and that you liked the video 😁👍

Ah great, thanks for the nice words and glad you liked the video! 😁👍

Thanks! Glad you liked it 😁👍

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video 😁👍

You are welcome 😁 Glad you liked the video!

Great, glad you liked it ❄️

Thanks! Great, question. If you want to use weeks, you can simply put the weeks in as numbers e.g. Start 1 End 3, Duration 2 and then set the minimum axis to 1, the maximum to the highest amount of weeks, e.g. 26, then the Major and Minor Gridlines to 1, so it wil put 1 number of each week in the axis (making sure to set the numbers to have 0 decimal places in the sheet and the number display in PowerPoint axis options. I have made an example GANTT chart of this here - www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v19doh1bqs7n09mps618n/PowerPoint-Skills-Gantt-Chart-Weeks.pptx?rlkey=ajxiiljgch08rks8uba4yb4vg&dl=0

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like the video.

Thanks very much! Glad you liked this and good luck with your upcoming presentation! (I think the Windows version is best for PowerPoint as it has a couple of useful features not yet available on the Mac version)

Thanks! There isn't a direct function for you to do that in PowerPoint (which is a shame), but there are a few workarounds that I like - One is this kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6Dblnx6bteMbc0

​@@powerpointskills Thank you ever so much - it’s exactly what I needed! I’m learning PowerPoint at the moment (I’ve been putting slides together at work for around a year and a half), and like most things, a lot of it’s about getting the hang of the tool’s logic. My background is in audio, so I have a general understanding of how DAWs work. Your videos and methods are really helping me grasp the thinking and structure behind this way of working, which makes it so much easier to bring ideas to life.

@@rolfedrengen Thanks, that's really great to hear. Good luck with your PowerPoint journey. I hope my videos continue to help you. 👍

I'm not sure what you mean here. Do you mean you would like to fill a graph with video, as you can do that by copying and pasting the graph as an SVG, then ungrouping and using the same combining of shapes method to cut out from a solid.

@@powerpointskills No, like if I wanted a bar or slice of a pie chart to have a video behind it. When you paste it, it can be a picture or a linked graph to excel.

@@CulperJR84 Yes, you can do that, if you copy the chart, paste it as an SVG and then ungroup it and use the methods in this video 👍

Hi, You can do it with any vector that's converted to a shape. Do you have the GIF you could send me and I will take a look to see if it could be converted to a vector then a shape? You can email [email protected]

Thanks very much! Glad you liked the video! 😁👍

Hi, Thanks for the nice feedback on the video, I'm glad your slides look good. It's a bit tricky to ouptut the video at exactly the times you want as PowerPoint will have to get to the end of the longest single animation once before it advances the slide. So if you have some snow that's set to 20 seconds on the first slide, then it would have to wait until 20 seconds until it would advance. You could edit all the snow to change the timing but as you mentioned that sounds a very time consuming task. So there could be 2 simpler ways of doing it - 1. Output the whole thing as video. Then bring the video into PowerPoint, size to full screen, set to play automatically and use Trim video to select the 9 seconds on the first slide. Then duplicate the slide and select the other 9 seconds you want and duplicate again and use Trim to select the 12. Then put all slides on Advance After 0s (this means they will use the Trim video length of time to stay on the slide). Then re-output video. Or, if you have something like OBS, you could simply record your screen playing the PowerPoint and click the keyboard to advance after 9, 9 then 12.

@@powerpointskills Thank you for helping me out. I exported the ppt-file to a video and inserted this video in a blank file on the slide master. Then I adjusted the length and this worked. Thank you again for helping out!

@@neutralname_11 Hi, that's great, thanks for letting me know it worked! 👍

Glad you liked it! You can do some great stuff with Morph and 3D in PowerPoint

Yes, you can, just create the slide to loop correctly and then File, Export as Video and you are good to go. You can even set the slide size for different sizes, so for example 1080x1350 for tall Instagram posts.

@@powerpointskills Thank you, I was involved in making the background for KZbin for a month, but your training was excellent 🙏♥️

That's great to hear, thanks! 😁

Thanks! I am glad you liked the video 👍😁

Thank you! Glad you liked the video 😁

Great, glad you liked it! 😁 Blender can be a bit tricky to start with but can really open up options for models in PowerPoint with Morph 👍

Cool, good luck with it all!

Hi, that's a great idea, I will look into Candlestick charts and see what I can do. Glad you liked the video! 👍

Hi, did you know you can add a chart from the 'stock' section called 'Open-High-Low-Close' that is effectively a candlestick chart? (and you can animate this 'by category' to reveal each part of the data one at a time). Is this what you were looking for?

@@powerpointskills yes I know but those kind of charts aren't moves I mean like stagnant , but m looking for live candlestick or like hammer, spinning top,doji candlestick.. with animation like up n down side movement.. i searched in KZbin .. there's one video .. the name is ( candlestick stock animation..) just check it out.. after you may get a idea

@@kashireddy969 Thanks, yes, I see what you mean. I checked out the video you mentioned and in their example, they used shapes (rather than live editable charts / data) so they could apply animations to that, which you can do as an option. You can even convert a chart to graphics by copying and pasting as an SVG and then ungrouping it. Once it's shapes you can apply similar animations such as in the video mentioned.

Thanks, that's great feedback to hear 😁 I'm glad you liked the video 👍

Nice, can you do something similar in Keynote? (and how are you finding it vs PowerPoint?)

Add Motion Path and then choose Shapes. It will by default add an Oval motion path, which you can adjust to match any circular / oval shape.

A full step by step tutorial of this is available here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3qbaXSEfLJkr9E

Thank you! Glad you liked the video 😁

Ha Ha, yes, it's quite hypnotic!

Thanks, that's great to hear, I am glad you found the video useful 😁

Ha ha, thanks very much 👍😆

Thanks very much! 😁

Hi, not exactly the same as you can't use a video in the format backround fill so in that case the text wouldn't work using 'slide background fill' for that. However you can get some good similar effects adjusting the transparency of the text over the video. So for example add a video to your slide, size it to fill the screen, then add some text over the top and adjust the transparency of the text as needed.

Yes, that's right, you can also use the 'Characters options' to move individual characters around. It's a great option for some cool effects.

Hi, thanks for the question. We don't convert the 'duration' to date format, that can be left as it is. This should fix the problem, but do send me the PPTX if you are still struggling with it.

Great question, I may do a video walkthrough on this at some point. You can go to the first slide, then 'Insert', 'Audio', 'Audio on My PC'. Choose your music and then make sure you go to the 'playback' tab when the audio is selected and then select 'Hide During Show' and 'Play Across Slides' from the Audio Options. (and choose 'Start 'Automatically').

Glad you found it! It's a really powerful feature for some animations, especially more advanced ones.

Thanks very much! I took a look at the 'Suits' intro and I think I can work out a way of doing something similar, I will give it a try and let you know. 👍

It does have some subtle bouncing applied on it using the 'bounce end' option. You can increase the amount of bounce by dragging that slider to the right 👍

It's called the Quick Access Toolbar and by default is above the ribbon and contains only a few options. You can add anything you like to it and have it below the ribbon on a PC, which is my recommended setup.

@@powerpointskills Thanks much...

Great, glad you liked the video 😁

Great, yes, it's a really quick way 👍

Thanks! Glad to hear that 👍

You are welcome! 😁 glad you liked the video 👍
