There is no doubt that a presentation with relevant pictures is more effective than just a plain text presentation. Although pictures enhance the look of your presentation, they can also phenomenally increase the size of your presentation file. PowerPoint 2013 and some previous versions are better in that respect compared to the much older versions because they do some compression even if you may not be aware — yet there is an option to make the compression even more effective.

Do you want to add a video clip to your PowerPoint slide so that it continues to play across subsequent slides? This actually means that when you move from one slide to another, the video continues playing without any interruption. In PowerPoint 2007, Play Across Slides option was available in interface — but in PowerPoint 2010 and 2013 it has been removed within the interface — however, we found a workaround to get this option back, as explained in this tutorial.

Once a picture is inserted within PowerPoint, any manipulations you make to that picture are strictly only on the surface. The appearance of the picture changes on the slide, but the unaltered picture is stored within your PowerPoint presentation. Essentially that’s good because if you make many changes to a picture — and then regret experimenting — then you can just reset your picture rather than starting all over again! There’s one caveat though — the option to reset any picture back to its original form works only if you have not run any compression options for pictures within your presentation.

After inserting a video clip into PowerPoint, you can play the clip with minute control over its volume, looping, rewinding, etc. Rather than create smaller tutorials that explore these options, we are exploring them all on this page. Before we do so, it’s important to understand that these abilities only exist so that you can use them when they are required, rather than using them just because they exist!
