formats: WMV, MP4, AVI, MOV, F4V, MKV, TS, 3GP, MPEG-2, WEBM, GIF and MP3.
After selecting the output format, you can
rename the video and change the location
on your computer where you save it. You
can also check the output resolution,
frame rate, size, and duration before you
export. To change your export settings (i.e.
resolution, bit rate, and frame rate) click
the Settings button. In the settings window,
there are three quality levels: Best, Better
and Good. The only difference between
them is the Bit Rate. You can adjust this or other parameters, such as Resolution, and
Frame Rate in this window. It is best to export your video with the same settings as your
original video.
When you’re finished adjusting your export settings, press OK to save them. Then, after
you have closed the Settings window, press the Export button in the Export window.

2.1. Overview
PowerPoint is a computer program that allows you to
create and show slides to support a presentation. You
can combine text, graphics and multimedia content
to create professional presentations. PowerPoint
presentations are made up of a series of slides. Slides
contain the information you will present to your
audience. This might include text, pictures, and charts.
2.2. Formatting Slides
Before you start creating presentations, you will need to know the basics of working with
slides and slide layouts.
When you insert a new slide, it will usually have placeholders. Placeholders can contain
different types of content, including text and images. Some placeholders have placeholder
text, which you can replace with your own text. Others have thumbnail icons that allow
you to insert pictures, charts, and videos.
42
The City School 2021-2022
Slides have different layouts for
placeholders, depending on the type of
information you want to include. Whenever
you create a new slide, you’ll need to
choose a slide layout that fits your content. Presenting Your Ideas
2.3. Slide Transitions
A transition can be as simple as fading to the next slide or as flashy as an eye-catching
effect. PowerPoint makes it easy to apply transitions to some or all of your slides, giving
your presentation an exciting and attractive look.
Adding Slide Transitions
Here is the procedure to add transitions between slides:
1. Select the desired slide from the Slide Navigation pane. This is the slide that will appear
after the transition.

the transition. Presenting Your Ideas
5. You can use the Apply To All command in the Timing group to apply the same
transition to all slides in your presentation. Keep in mind that this will modify any other
transitions you have applied.

Modifying Transitions

options will vary depending on
the selected transition.
3. The transition will be modified,
and a preview of the transition will appear.
Modifying Transition Duration
1. Select the slide with the transition you want to modify.
2. In the Duration field in the Timing group, enter the desired time for the transition. In
this example, we’ll increase the time to two seconds—or 02.00—to make the transition

Changing an Animation Effect
By default, an effect starts playing when you click the mouse during a slide show.
If you have multiple effects, you will need to click multiple times to start each effect
individually. However, by changing the start option for each effect, you can have
effects that automatically play at the same time or one after the other. Presenting Your Ideas
1. From the Animation Pane, select an effect. A drop-down arrow will appear next
to the effect.
2. Click the drop-down arrow. You will see three start options:
• Start on Click: This will start the effect when the mouse is clicked.
• Start With Previous: This will start the effect at the same time as the
previous effect.
• Start After Previous: This will start the effect when the previous effect ends.
3. Select the desired start option.
Quick Tip
When you preview the animations, all of the effects will play through
automatically. To test effects that are set to Start on Click, you will need
to play the slide show.
49
