All these days ... I was just using for text formatting and presentations ... that's it. Now I have seen the real power of PowerPoint.Thanks for the great video.
Glad you enjoyed, Yashwanth! That's exactly the idea of my channel (and Taylor's) - to show people the true capabilities of PowerPoint and all of the stuff you can do that most people don't realize. Thanks for the comment!
I thought I was a powerpoint expert until I started watching your videos. Now I know I have lots more to learn and your tutorials are perfect for that.
Yes, I am always learning myself and constantly get questions I'm not sure about - so it's a life long process :). Glad you got some new ideas, and thank you for the comment! By the way, I just posted a new video that you may like as well - I haven't seen anything like out out there yet.
You are both PPT geniuses! I've been following Taylor for a few months (learned SO much from him, and I thought I was a pretty decent PPT user before!) and now I'll add you to my PPT resources, too. Thanks!!
Thank you so much, SLF L&D! Yes, Taylor / Camille are insanely good at what they do, which is why we partner so often on things - I am constantly learning a ton from them. :) This trick in particular has many great L&D applications, by the way (as shown later in the video). I particularly like using it with bio books for participants or as the cover page of a learning experience (with the participants' faces made into a logo of the program).
I keep coming back to this video....it's just so good. One thing i would love is to figure out how to create a take all those pictures and then have them for a shape. I have this idea of getting 100 head shot photos of my sales team and then having the pictures move and form the shape of a person.
OH MY!!! The two powerpoint experts I've been watching, COLLABORATED!!! 👍❤👏 Astonishing! +PowerPointSpice Thank you so much for making things easier in powerpoint. Your tutorials are really really awesome. ❤😊👏👍
+A. J. Haha - mindblowing, right?! We've wanted to do a video together for a while for a SPICE and SPEED combo and finally got around to it :). Thank you so much for the comment, and as usual for the awesome emojis.
PowerPoint Spice Awh, no problem. Thank you also for the PowerPoint tutorials. For reals you deserved more subscribers and views to all of your videos. Your works are so amazing! 😄👍👏❤👐💻
+nornsmain oh wow! Yes perfect timing - and doing anything team-related with this is my favorite way to use it - you can just do the photos with nothing on top or you can add your team's name or logo as the overall picture - lots of possibilities :). Good luck!
*SUPER COOL AND TRULY AMAZING ANIMATION!!!!* *I JUST LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS AS YOU ARE REALLY TALENTED PERSON!!!!* *YOU DESERVE FOR MUCH MORE VIEWS AND SUBSCRIBERS...YOU ARE JUST WONDERFUL!!!! :) ;) :D :D*
+Andrew Maher Aw man! Too bad it already passed, but at least goes to show how valuable this technique is - and you'll be a pro with it next time :). Thanks for the comment, Andrew!
Too good..such a great presentation...how did you built that word "TOGETHER" in starting with people photos inside that? I need to present like that in office. Please help..
Thanks, Keren! The "together" just goes behind a cut-out of the word "together" - you can do that using the technique for text masks in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ITXGGEMdpE0.html The faces are just done using the same technique as the mosaic... and with a "compress" animation
Hi! I was able to follow up until the resizing at 3:27. When I try to resize it moves the whole image over or it makes it all stretched out even when I move it inwards. So, I don't know how to m ove forward so that the images are within the frame?
Wondering about the animation at 0:22 where the tiger is exploded into tiles. Is this a powerpoint effect? If not, can you share how to do that or other ways to animate the mosaic? Thanks for any resources for this. J
Can you print this picture out once it is completed, for instance if I wanted to use some family photos of my daughters to create this and print it out to hang, is that possible?
Yes, you absolutely can! You would just print the same way that you would any PPT slide. I would save it as a picture first (save as PNG or select everything and right click and save as picture). One tip for this is I'd make the pictures a little bit larger so you can see them more - and also the less you paste as picture, the better the quality will be. Very creative idea - I love it!
Hello you crazy duo! I have a question about image size. I used a lot of HD quality images which are very large files. If I bring in too many of them without using the you might as well just go have a coffee of a snooze after a while as PPT just bogs down and KAKs out. What I end up doing is just pulling them into GIMP and resizing and scaling them so that within PPT they're a little more workable. What are your thoughts on this? Any tips? I have tried so PPT and operating tweeks which helped marginally but I haven't found the ultimate solution. It is not memory on my computer as I have ample (32gb), it seems like it is more or a memory mamangement issue with PPT itself. When you watch what is going on in taskmanager PPT doesn't suddenly use all the CPU cycles or memory, it just sits and thinks (most likely while it is doing something to juggle stuff around). Do you know if they have fixed this issue in later versions (still on 2010 for now and will until the incorporate the lastest features in the purchase rather than the subscription version).
Hey there! Great to hear from you again, and appreciate the question. I checked with Taylor as well, since he knows more tech details about processing capacity, so here is our joint answer: Correct that PowerPoint will bog down as you have lots and lots of pictures. This becomes a function of available RAM and storage on your machine. How large is your computer? 32 gigs seems like a decent amount, but compared to the total free space on the computer, it may not be - Taylor recommends ideally having 20% of your computer free for resource files, etc.That aside, yes the workaround is to first compress the photos. You can do it in smaller batches into PPT and then use the native compression tool, for example (which is what I personally would do) - or you can compress with something outside of PPT (if you go to HD 330 PPI or something like this, the photos will be manageable without losing any presentation quality). Also, if you have someone sending you the files that size to begin with, you can perhaps request a smaller format from the start. As another solution, you could have someone build you an add-in to sweet through a specified folder and auto compress the pictures for PowerPoint. We actually know someone who specializes in this sort of stuff that we can introduce you to so you can see if it would be worth the cost. So no silver bullet, but hopefully that’s helpful! Thanks again for the comment.
I like this and not the least because it's made magically with only the built in tools of ppt and it's a nice example of collaboration between Spice and Taylor. In fact, this is a collage that's coming through the animal (not a mosaic of the animal itself). But interesting because we can *zoom* into a tile, a little photo. Now, I have a question. I'd like to zoom in into one tile, let's say it's a face. Then zooming further and further, let's say into the eye, and further... till we fly through a color and then we come to the following deck. Is this possible? And without morphing please, I don't have a 365 subscription. Thx in advance. - Chris
The online version of PPT is unfortunately very limited, and I don't know if it's available there. Could you crop your pictures on a desktop version (there is a free trial of 365 available, for instance) and then import those pictures into the online version?
hey, i still curious about some zoom out effect, like when i want to make size comparasion between 1 thing and another, like zooming it out got any idea ?
+Donky Kong That's exactly why I have these videos up - to show people what's possible with ppt :). With the new Morph transition in ppt you can actually get a very similar zooming effect to prezi too (I have a video up on that). Thanks for the comment!
If you have a really good processor you could use this technique with PowerPoint still - but may be better to use a dedicated collage maker app like Pixart or others.
