Atom Graphics for PowerPoint – 01

Atoms represent activity at the most minute level, and are often used to suggest agility! In this set, we bring you not one or two, but ten variations of these atoms. These atom graphics can be used on their own, or also combined with other graphics such as a human head to create a larger concept or analogy!

Download and use these shapes in your slides.

Setting a Recording Audio Device in Mac OS X

Many applications, including PowerPoint allow you to record your voice using a connected microphone. In PowerPoint such recorded voice-overs work very well as slide narrations. However, if your connected microphone does not work using the recording options in PowerPoint or another application, then you may have to first find if the microphone hardware was detected or not by the Mac OS X. Also if detected, has it been selected for recording? In this tutorial, we will discover how you can take care of these concerns — follow these steps to learn more.

Learn PowerPoint 2010 for Windows: Animating Slide Objects While Media is Playing

Let’s imagine you have a 3 minute video or audio clip. Exactly after the clip has played for a minute, you want some text to appear super-imposed above the video clip, or just show on the slide while the audio clip is playing. All this while, the original audio or video clip should continue playing. It might seem difficult, but you can end up with these results quite easily using the Trigger Animation option. These Trigger animations typically happen as a result of a click on some other slide object — but in PowerPoint 2010, you can now cause Trigger animations to also happen on media playback through a Bookmark.

Adobe Presenter: Add Presenters

Every presentation created has an intended presenter, who delivers the presentation. In Adobe Presenter you can assign a single presenter to all slides in a presentation, or assign different presenters to individual slides. You can not only assign presenter(s), but can also add detailed information about presenters such as the name, a photograph, their job title, a short biographical notes, a company logo, and also contact information. You don’t have to fill in all fields. Adding a presenter will make your presentation more credible.
