This is NOT just another course on avoiding "death by
PowerPoint" through proper use of pictures and bullet points (yawn). Not
at all. This course is all about using the best and most powerful PowerPoint features to create stunning
videos for use in online courses,
YouTube videos, and other movie presentations.
You'll
learn to combine video, text, photos, slides, and animations in your presentations. Set a mood or
add some fun with background music and sound effects. Discover many new and
exciting resources for finding free and public domain video, photos, music, and
sound effects to use in your own creations.
You'll
discover the power of transition effects to add visual interest. Master
PowerPoint animation capabilities for engaging titles, bullet points, and other
on-screen text. Combine a talking-head video with animated titles to really
drive your point home.
Take
advantage of PowerPoint's SmartArt to achieve a polished professional look even if you know nothing about design or
color theory.
Covert
your PowerPoint presentation to MP4 and publish as a standalone video
presentation on Udemy, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media
site. Or combine your PowerPoint videos with other videos for maximum clarity and
presentation power in your online courses.
Students
should have access to PowerPoint 2013 or PowerPoint 2016, or PowerPoint in
Office for Mac. After a quick overview of the basics (just to level the playing
field for less experienced PowerPoint users), we'll get right into the more
advanced techniques that add life, clarity, and professional polish to your
online presentations. If you already know a bit about PowerPoint, and are
looking to up your game in online courses or other video presentations, the
techniques you learn in this fun, easy course will serve you well for many
years to come.
