I really enjoy your presentations. I am a 74- year old College Instructor still working part-time. Going online was a nightmare to begin with, however, following your instructions, particularly on PowerPoint has been invaluable. Thanks a lot!
I cant believe that i reduced a powerpoint sized 1.77 GB to just 987 kb with your Tutorial!!! i watched your video on the day you posted but that day i was not dealing with large files but today when i was really in need of this Trick i used it and yeah!! it really worked!!! Thank you soooo much for the help!! =)
Yet to watch all of your videos....however your series has made our lives much more simpler....Keep it up......they are all very practical and informative......there are so many hidden features that we were not aware of!!!!!well done!!!!!
Kevin - really like your simple and honest presentation style. I have been using all of these techniques to reduce media heavy presentations for years with similar results. The problem I have is that while using compression and "applying to all pictures" works well for full screen/large photographs with not too much discernible reduction in quality, it really mashes small images - especially logos. I find that I have to delete any logos after compression and re-insert them at full quality otherwise they look terrible. Not a problem if logos are on master slides - but a real pain if they are scattered throughout the presentation.
Thanks alot Kevin I really needed this video 😇 And I wish that you can help me with printing and the setting. Especially removing the boarders around the slide in power point or the page in word. I am a teacher. And sometimes I need to print the article or picture with out westing papers and with more interesting results. Thank you again and hope to answer my question 💐😁
You just saved me a tonne of trouble.... I need submit this ppt presentation as part of my dissertation, file size was too big to upload on the portal..... now it is 1-tenth the size... God bless you Bro. #sorelieved
Great topic! File sizes are often an issue. One trick I use on still photos is to use the snipping tool to capture and insert the image. It takes a moment to do, but takes up a lot less memory. It’s also great if you need to capture a screen shot or are making an instructional document. In fact the snipping tool would make a great video topic - it’s a great app.
Thanks for the suggestion! There's also a new app called Snip & Sketch, which is supposed to eventually replace the Snipping Tool. I'll add to my list.
Kevin Stratvert yes, it has already, I’m just still stuck on the old name. I use this tool constantly at work to grab info or images that I need in a hurry but that might not be formatted or accessible for regular printing. It’s also great when needing to report error messages to tech support.
@@KevinStratvert Aloha Kevin, just found your channel today after searching for PP tutorials. Learning a lot! Mahalo. Question, what's the best way to suggest improvements to Microsoft. Specifically, love the snip & sketch but would love it more if instead of just freehand draw it also had the ability to draw shapes such as rectangle or oval to highlight items and maybe add an arrow? Unless you have an easier/better suggestion.
This is life-changing for me. Nice one Kevin, keep them coming. The only thing I would add is to how to create a private area within your own RU-vid account to host the videos. My work is very restrictive regarding the use of the cloud, so using RU-vid as a video file manager is an easy workaround. Thanks again.
Great video, nice to see stuff that I didn't know about. Staying with PowerPoint, s suggestion for a future video is how to recover a corrupt PowerPoint file. These are the bane of my life and it would be great to be able to recover someone's presentation. Thanks.
bro i was so worried that i cant submit my power point but thank goodness my file was over a 100mb and just doing that to 3 videos brought it down to 68mb thank you so much (5:43 )
I tried giving you two thumbs up for the sweet photos of your son, but that didn’t work😉 Thank you for all the informative videos, they do really help.
This is awesome Kevin. I know not that many people know about this and it can be a life safer when saving room on a laptop or sharing a deck with others. :)
Content request: I wish to see Outline View promoted more in the wild. Using Outline view can help users stay organized and better enable the Header Styles which makes that step of creating a Table of Contents. Additionally, by focusing on the Outline view, users are less likely to create multiple different styles for text.
Thank you for your videos, you give out some amazing tips and tricks for PPTs. I have a question, please answer as I'm working on something for a client. When I compress photos in a deck like this and make a video of the presentation to be used by the client anywhere, will it have good quality? Basically, I want the quality to be good and the size to be low, so using this technique that you showed, will the quality be good? thank you for your work :)
Hai Kevin I really like your videos.... Why don't you make a video on how a scheduled Meeting will be used by different faculties to take their respective classes.... Will be very useful for people who are using Microsoft teams for Education Is there any app to create timetable in Microsoft teams app
Hi Dilip! Can you tell me more? Are you looking for how teachers can schedule classes with students or how to allow students to schedule office hours with teachers?
Thanks for the tips on the video link. I had to keep recreating my slides because it keeps crashing and find smaller size videos. With your tips, I can use better quality video with link to online.
Great video! Just wondering if a picture can still be composed of it was set as the slide background (where it doesn't move). or is it better to not set a picture as background and instead to insert it as a picture and send it to the back? which process will give me a smaller file size? Thanks!
I really love what you do kevin! Um if i may make a little suggestion, your vids wud benefit a lot i think if u cud cut the number of words to about a third. Also if u cud end your sentences not in an upward tone but downwards so it'd be more relaxing and unrushed. Pls do continue creating vids like this bec they help a lot teachers like myself and i share your vids with our faculty too.
Bookmarked you as a great tutorial resource, thanks! Question on the Compress Pictures feature. What I found from a quick search online is 1080P = 81 ppi and 4K = 140 ppi. So, seems like Web (150 ppi) would be more then enough for any presentations up to 4K, right? If so, their descriptions are a bit misleading as I'd think I should be saving as HD for 4K. In your demo I noticed HD (330 ppi) was grayed out. Is that because one or more of the images wasn't that high of resolution to begin with?
hi Mr.kavin you are rocking with all the Microsoft office package we wish you all the best, and my request can you do some SharePoint Administrators, thank you.
awesome, thanks Kevin. Is there a way to to discard edited VIDEO data like you showed with IMAGE data? I can't find how to discard data from a video i trimmed in order to reduce file size.
Hi Kevin! I'm new to your YT channel and I'm learning a lot. Do you have a video on how to reduce the file size of a PDF with a lot of images without compromising the photo quality that much?
I convert into windows media video then convert into mp4 file. It reduces 1/5th size. But it takes more time. One advantage is there any one can watch in through their mobile mobile . Thank you bro.
Hello Kevin Thank you for a informative video. Do you know a way to see the size in megabytes of a particular slide? Some times in wondering which slide that takes up the most space in a PP presentation. In earlier versions of PP we could Publish all the slides individually an then sort them by size (MB) to find the largest slide. I tried the things you mention in the video. It did not bring the size down of my PP file. Until I went by the Handout and Notes master views. The size then dropped drastically. There where no pictures or anything else on the Handout and Notes master views - But just pressing them seemed to do the trick.
I have only a Chromebook or a MAC, without PPT. I normally can open PPT files with Google Slides, but this one gives me a message that the file is too big to open. What should I do? anything for free?
