Your First PowerPoint Animation

Posted on: Jun, 2011 By: Art Holden
Downloading an animation from PresenterMedia is an easy process, but if you've never used an animated file (.gif) in your presentations before, there are a couple of pitfalls to avoid.  Watch this short new video tutorial from PresenterMedia co-owner, Art Holden, to see how simple it is.

Covered in this video:
  • For PowerPoint, always download the largest animation available.  This yields the best quality.
  • After clicking the download link, always choose "SAVE" to save the image to your computer.  Choosing OPEN may end up removing the animation from the image.
  • In PowerPoint, always use the "Insert/Picture" function to place the animation in your presentation.  Inserting it as a video or copying and pasting it into your presentation can yield poor results.
