I've been wondering about a holiday gift for ActiveRainers and this is what I came up with...
I have a great friend and colleague who has created a neat 21-lesson PowerPoint course, "How to Create Explainer Videos With PowerPoint." I just added the entire course to the Massive Real Estate Video Library.
I am sharing Lesson 2 of that course right here in the blog post at ActiveRain. It's my holiday gift to you!
The lesson includes three videos and a download of the PowerPoint template you can use to create the same effects using your own images.
- The first video shows you the effect we want to create.
- The second and third tutorial videos show you how to use exit animations to create interesting image reveals. This is a great effect is for image showcase videos, portfolio style videos and real estate videos.
- You can download the template right below the third video and follow along the tutorials (no opt-in required!).
After you understand how the template works, create more videos with images from your market!
Difficulty: Intermediate
Video Time: 14:23
The Effect We Are Looking For
Tutorial A
Tutorial B
Training Notes
One of the issues you might struggle with when applying exit fade effects to shapes is alignment. If the shapes are not properly aligned it can look messy. If you're not a perfectionist this may not bother you at all but for perfect alignment, follow the tip below.
Quick Tip : Lower the transparency of each shape, setting each to a slightly different level of transparency. You can do this by right clicking on the shape and selecting "Format Shape". This will reveal the format shape options on the right and from there you can increase the transparency and work on alignment easier.
When you're done aligning, select all of the shapes at once by clicking CTRL A and then reducing the transparency of them back to 0%.
Happy Holidays!
It just feels like I am missing something.
