634 ON-DEMAND: Easy & Effective Visual Storytelling with PowerPoint Morph

3:00 PM - 4:00 PM Monday, October 26

DDX On-Demand sessions are recorded videos you can access starting at this date and time and watch at your own convenience.

Training presentations and eLearning often suffer from the same problem—too much text and not enough engaging content, resulting in death by PowerPoint or dull click-through eLearning. Everyone largely recognizes this now, and that a great way to solve it is to develop more dynamic, more visual, and more interactive content. There are tools out there to do it, but it can take such a long time. But one really cool way to achieve a great end result is to use PowerPoint. No, really. Specifically the Morph transition, which is just incredible and is staggeringly quick to use.

This session explores ways to really push the effect and tell stories in a way that wasn't possible before in PowerPoint, using dynamic visuals, interactive elements, and a whole host of techniques that provide a much more immersive and seamless experience for your audience. And it's all done with standard PowerPoint. You'll see techniques like lens effects, reveals, cutaways, and complex sequences that push your storytelling to another level. We'll examine the various tricks used to bring your content to life and harness the power of Morph to do ever more complex and amazing things with visuals, all of which only take a short amount of time to create. It's only a single transition, but understanding the nuances behind how various effects have been achieved will give you the skills to transform your existing content and use to generate more effective presentations, webinars, videos, and eLearning.

In this session, you will learn:

  • To develop complex visual storytelling techniques, all within standard PowerPoint
  • To go under the hood of PowerPoint with in-depth Morph hacks to achieve amazing effects
  • How to use Morph to create seamless interactive content for self-guided learning or responsive training
  • How to use and export these Morph techniques to other media and formats
