Tip Tuesday: Editing Video Clips in PowerPoint
Learn how to quickly edit video clips in your PowerPoint presentations in this two-minute video.
Hi, we are Happy
We are leading a movement to create happy, empowered and productive workplaces.
How can we help you and your people to find joy in at least 80% of your work?
When you insert a video clip into a slide, it is embedded into your presentation – allowing you to edit it, without altering the original file. This means you can shorten the video clip to just show the best bits, rather than having to watch the whole clip.
In our example above, we use a short clip that is only four seconds long – but for longer video clips this can make a real difference to your presentation.
