Similar to inserting a SWF file, you can insert a video file into PowerPoint using Adobe Presenter. Now do remember that this Insert Video option is only for content that is going to be output by Adobe Presenter, and not for conventional PowerPoint slides. Also unlike SWF files, you cannot play videos inserted using Adobe Presenter typically using PowerPoint’s Slide Show view. To preview such videos, you must use Adobe Presenter’s Preview options.

Every transition you add to a slide within PowerPoint 2013 has a fixed, default duration. Some transitions such as Cut happen sooner than you can imagine (just 0.10 seconds). Some others like Reveal can take 3.40 seconds to be done with. But you really do not need to be happy with the default transition duration as you can make them to happen for as long, or as soon as you want. Before we show you how you can change the duration, do remember that transition duration and transition time are not the same.

Slide transitions do more than causing some movement between one slide and the next — you can actually do a slide transition that is abrupt without any effect or you could look at any of the transition effects, all the way from simple fades and wipes to something that does not cause a vertigo! In addition, you can set timings for transitions and also accompanied by transition sounds. There is plenty to learn, and unlearn!
