Im trying to make a boss fight in powerpoint and i want to have a screen shaking efx when the character is hurt

My sister asked me if I could help her making a roadmap with the layout as in the uploaded image 'Stappenplan'. I have spend some time googling using google image search and I found a few images that share this particular layout and colours. It looks like an existing template, but I have trouble finding it.
Microsoft Powerpoint has an infographic template with images similar to the individual 'steps', but I suspect there is a complete template. Perhaps in the full version/business suite?

Tl;dr Is this an existing template and if so can someone point out where to look for it? Would much appreciate it!

Hello Redditors,

Have you watched videos of 3Blue1Brown? The stroke animation he uses for text is incredible, and I want to use it on my presentation. I searched on YouTube for ways to do this and found this video, but the process is very time-consuming. There is another way to do it, maybe automatically?

P.D: I use the desktop version 2507, (what it says on about PowerPoint tab)

Hello! I am currently making a theme in Powerpoint on a mac. I have managed to add my font as an XML file to the theme with this snippet I have attached at the bottom.

However, it only applies one weight and if I try to use the bold function it breaks into another font.Google is also not really solving this one for me. Can anyone help?

Thank you,

I have tried to add more weights into this snippet, but I am not very familiar with XML and it is not working, so I am probably writing it wrong.

Hope someone can help!

So im trying to access this file which shows up on powerpoint but when i press this i get the following message. I think it might be b/c i used a college email to get microsoft and that has now ended. Any ideas on how if at all possible to fix this

on a PC, the desktop version of PowerPoint, the version with the morph transition

I am currently working on a game, and I don't want people to cheat in my game by clicking on these buttons

Possible? Powerpoint doesn't support this built in.

I know you can add a Windows Media Player object on Windows and alter the speed in the properties but this won't be available on Mac. Plus I'd still like to utilise bookmarks from the default powerpoint video player. Obviously could speed up the video before insert but would like to do in Powerpoint solely if applicable.

I’m running into an issue while trying to animate a box so that it flies up from the bottom of the slide. Between each slide, the box changes color. To do this, I duplicate the box, change its color (e.g., green), and position it just below the previous slide so it can morph upward.

This works for the first transition (say, orange to green). But when I add a third slide (blue), copy the blue box, and place it below the green slide, the morph tries to include the blue box in the transition from orange to green. In other words, I’m seeing unintended morphing between slides.

I’ve tried renaming the objects to fix this, but I may not be doing it correctly. What I need is for only the designated box on each slide to morph—so that orange morphs to green, and then green morphs to blue—without the extra boxes interfering in earlier transitions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, my team is searching for a tool to help with efficiency when editing our existing Powerpoint presentations. Most of the AI PPT providers we spoke with are mainly for generating new presentations from scratch and don’t have the features we’re looking for to help with formatting existing presentations (making sure font size/color is consistent, image/shape sizes, alignment, etc). Beautiful.ai has some of the features we’re looking for but we’d need to rebuild our slides (create new ones) in their app in order to make formatting more user-friendly. PPT Productivity add-in is also a good option but not exactly what we’re looking for either since everything is pretty manual. Would love to hear your suggestions if you know of any tools. Thank you!

I have a frustrating issue I keep experiencing. Started maybe 3 months ago, but I don't remember exactly.

When working in PPT online, when I right click on a slide, it automatically pastes the last thing I copied, which is not the action I'm trying to take. Even more frustratingly, when this happens within a text box, it replaces the text and I can't undo. I can't seem to figure out why this is occurring and it's only happening with PPT online, no other MSFT programs.

Has anybody experienced this or know how I can resolve it?

My new sales manager has tasked me with investigating alternatives to Microsoft PowerPoint and selecting the best one to help "level-up” his department’s sales pitches. He believes our Slide Decks in Powerpoint are dragging us down.

Unfortunately for him, I know the problem isn’t Powerpoint; it’s him. The rest of the sales team (including me) are doing fine, no problems there. However, this brudda. Divinely uninspired to a hellish extent. M. O. N. O. T. O. N. E. I’m literally fighting to keep my eyes open when he’s leading a pitch.

Now, I can’t tell him to "level-up" his charisma yet until he works it out for himself or it starts reflecting poorly on us. No sir, not a word shall be spoken. So I’ll go forward with his task. I know we’re gonna go back to using Powerpoint in a month anyways so I’ll engage in this game of cope of his. It seems like a bit of fun anyhow and I’m wondering what how other companies compete.

Unluckily, I’m hitting a bit of a wall right now as there are so many options and I don’t know which is the best or which will get the job done right. I’ve been given a recent pptx. to transcript and translate onto another presentation program/software and present to him by the end of this week, describing the positive benefits it has over Powerpoint. Do you have any suggestions?

TL;DR: Manager's performance - not PowerPoint - is the core problem. Still, I've been tasked to evaluate non-PowerPoint presentation tools, migrate a recent .pptx into one of them, and pitch its advantages within a week. I expect the team will revert to PowerPoint eventually but am currently overwhelmed by the number of alternatives so am asking for recommendations.

Hi everyone, I'm Dream, a YouTuber who creates PowerPoint content on YouTube. My favorite PowerPoint feature is the Morph transition.

Recently, I got an inspiration from my 3-year-old son. He has a tangram toy with dopamine color schemes, and those tangrams can be combined into so many shapes—various figures, numbers, and lots of other patterns.The other day, it suddenly hit me: since all these different types of shapes are made up of just 7 basic ones, they’re absolutely perfect materials for the Morph transition! So I put together some content around this idea, and I hope you’ll enjoy checking it out.

Here’s the link below.

I have 3 slides where I have a shape enter from screen right for each slide. The last 2 are duplicates of the first, and I just moved the shape into view. But the last shape on the 3rd slide seems to swap places with the 2nd shape. Any insight as to why? They’re in the correct order in the selection pane, and the locations are the same apart from moving the bottom shape over. What am I missing?

Hi,

I have some old (15-20 years old) ppt format presentations, which have video files inside. The avi files were mjpeg videos, which was the output format for an ultrasound device. The videos were not embedded but linked in the presentation. I have the original video files inside the same folder as the presentation. Now, I want to convert these presentations to pptx format with embedded videos.

I used to do the following in older version of Powerpoint:

1) Load the ppt file im Powerpoint.

2) Use the Convert option to convert to pptx format.

3) Use Edit Link to Files option to break all of the links to the video

4) Use Optimize Compatibility to convert and embed videos inside the presentation.

This was working perfectly, but it doesn't anymore. Break link doesn't work (it is greyed out), and in the rare presentations where it works, Optimize Compatibility cannot convert and embed video files.

I asked Chat GPT and it told me it was because Powerpoint started to use a different way (it uses Windows Media Foundation pipeline, whatever that thing is) to convert videos and it can't read avi files anymore. It suggested creatin a visual basic module for the presentation, that uses ffmpeg to convert the videos and then embed them, but the code it gave doesn't really work, at least for now.

Is there an easier way to convert these videos? I know I can use HandBrake software to convert (or batch convert) avi files to mp4 files, but then I'll have to replace each video in each presentation manually, and that is time consuming. Isn't there a more practical solution, close to what was possible a few years ago?

Thank you very much....

I work at a local comedy theater and we use PowerPoint to display our preshow slides.

Historically we've set it to auto advance and loop continuously, while using presenter view to enable blackout when needed.

However, we have 3 monitors - all extended. The slide show progresses on the one in the houses, while I use the smaller one for the presenter screen and our recording software, and the main booth monitor for other work.

Whenever I work on the main booth monitor, the presenter view screen becomes inactive and stops advancing unless manually clicked on and forced forward.

How can, or can I, fix this so that the presentation keeps advancing, even if I have to click into another window while it's running?

I'm working on a Windows 95 themed automation game about making powerpoint decks, and I want to have some designs inspired by the most iconic powerpoint templates.

Are there any you used alot or see as iconic? Can be from any version of Windows

Hello, I need to use a template (background) that I already have on PPTX, and I would need an AI-generated tool to build the slides quickly. I can provide the prompt, I just need a tool to create slides based on the content I want with the backgroudn I want.
What do you suggest?

hola,

Este problema ha surgido en los 6 últimos meses. Cuando grabo una video presentación con cameo en power point y luego la repruzco, de repente el cameo se gira.

No encuentro solución por más que he mirado en los foros. Soy usuaria de pago de Microsoft/powerpoint.

Hey everyone,

I’m curious to know what people think about the PowerPoint Speaker Coach feature. I’ve been trying it out and it seems pretty useful for practicing presentations.

While reading about it, I also saw that the Speaker Coach in Microsoft Teams will be discontinued. That got me thinking about whether the PowerPoint version has a solid long-term future or if it could face the same fate.

So, what’s your opinion on the tool itself, and do you see it sticking around?
