Ideal for *KEYNOTE* speakers!

[@urinstein1864]

Amazing. While watching Matt's video I immediately thought: "Duh, obviously PP can do this, it's turing complete!" and ended up subbing to this channel. That decision paid of in record time.

Now this is what I call a "Power user". 👏👏👏

I wasn't aware you could use power point for something else then fractals

[@boomerboxer3574]

You can also use it to make a turing machine!

You could use it to make visual novel and animation project

You can use it to make a game or a fully fledged 3d animation from the early 90s.

I chose Python because it was easy to get something cool done quickly. I might just ditch it for that exact reason because PowerPoint does that better.

[@sebastianjost]

You can actually visually calculate some limits using the PowerPoint fractals. So it's got even more applications

Was that ever up for debate? We are talking about the guy who created a Turing machine in PowerPoint

He was already the king, this was just him defending his crown from the damnable pretenders to the throne.

You know what man, this deserves some serious credit. I work on fractals for different use cases, and will have to be able to present them to others, and this makes my job so much more easy.

Every slide is a frame of the video, and he just goes through them really quickly

[@Demki]

That's a nice video! When I saw Matt Parker's video I immediately thought "there must be an easier way!" and I found out about the dragging the slide into itself part. But you've shown so many more features and highly skilled craftsmanship in creating those fractals! Truly a PowerPoint master.

[@mattknight1986]

As a management consultant who writes and reads way too many powerpoint slides in a typical month, these are probably the best I've encountered!

[@batlmunky13]

I don't know why KZbin recommended this to me, but I watched the whole thing and am better for it. Bless you, young man.

not often i see a response video to a video i've already seen from two channels i'm subscribed to

[@sizdimitri]

Your videos are not only good for powerpoint, but they are also good in general. The way you build things until the end and make us interested is quite amazing tbh.

[@abramthiessen8749]

Why isn't the summary zoom feature activated in 2016? I was able to find it by looking under "all commands" in "customize the ribbon". But it is greyed out. My version is 16.0 and it was officially released in version 16.19. sigh.

[@tomwildenhain]

Summary zoom is one of those features that is annoyingly only available for office 365 subscribers (or people with office 2019). If you have office 2016 without 365, it will be grayed out.
