What is Presentation Management?

A senior sales executive is in the midst of closing the biggest deal in your company's history, and this is the last meeting. The CEO of your company is there, and several senior stakeholders from both businesses fill the other seats. And then it happens. Your sales person pulls up a slide showing your distribution capabilities in Asia. Or maybe it's the "newest" specs on your latest products. Either way, the information is old and no longer accurate. Your company consolidated operations to a single facility in India. Or maybe you're a full version ahead of that "new" product. Either way, your presentation management strategy has broken down.

Pictures in Presentations Ebook

Is a picture is worth a thousand words? You probably have heard this adage so often that we decided not to repeat this phrase throughout this book!

Now here's some more info: the human brain uses a larger part of its area to store visual information rather than textual content. And that's possibly because a picture describes so much more than text.

Insert Video (Movie) Clips

If you want to insert a video clip into your PowerPoint slide, spare a thought for why you would insert video clips in the first place. Most of the video clips are just added to grab attention. Before you show you how you can add a video clip to your slide in PowerPoint 2016, let us explore a few good reasons to add video clips.

Insert Online Video (Movie) Clips

PowerPoint 2016 has an Online Video option that’s very helpful. The videos you insert are not limited to just the ones available on your system. You can choose from a variety of other video sources. And all this happens within PowerPoint; there's no need to open your web browser.

Trim Video Clips

When you insert video clips in your presentations, you may find that the video clip inserted may be too long. Or maybe you just need to show part of the video clip, rather than wasting your audience's time showing them the entire clip. Yes, you can use the Player Controls bar to scrub and play the clip from exactly where you want it to begin. However, scrubbing a clip in front of an audience can appear unprofessional.

Recovering New Unsaved Presentations Manually

Have you ever created a new presentation in PowerPoint and then closed it without saving it for even once? This scenario seems to be little strange and impossible since even if you accidentally close your presentation, PowerPoint prompts you whether you want to save your presentation. Yet, you can be in a similar scenario if you lose all your file changes to a system or PowerPoint crash. Fortunately, there are chances that your unsaved presentation is safe in some state! Most of the time, PowerPoint will salvage your file and offer to open it for you the next time you launch the program. Alternatively, even if you don't see any files being offered for recovery, you can set the process in action manually.
