PowerPoint’s Morph (transition/animation effect) and Zoom (new custom shows) have had an amazing adoption rate and become something we use in projects on a regular basis. The addition of support for both effects on mobile versions of PowerPoint has happened fairly recently. Amber on the TLC Creative Presentation Design Team created a fun, small file size, sample presentation setup with Morph transitions and Zoom custom shows for us to test and see how they work on our mobile devices.
Use this link to download our test file and open on your mobile device to see if Morph and Zoom are included/working on your mobile version of PowerPoint – Download test PPTX file here
After downloading, it is important to open with Microsoft PowerPoint on the device, not a PowerPoint viewer application. For iPhones (IOS), this means click-and-hold the file name to bring up a list of applications it can be opened with. Select the Microsoft PowerPoint icon.
Download > click-and-hold to select “Copy to PowerPoint” > the mobile version of PowerPoint opens > Presentation opens > click the Play icon to view as a slide show.
Here is a quick video capture showing the visual effects that should be seen on the mobile PowerPoint apps.

Video in presentations has been something I have always embraced as a design tool. Fortunately, my design background includes lots of video production. So the many of the nuances of video files – and the finicky needs of Windows and PowerPoint (especially in legacy versions) – did not leave me with too many problems that could not be resolved. Today, video use is easier (thanks Windows 10 for supporting .MP4!), but it is still good for advanced users to know video format basics.
TechSmith (makers of Camtasia and SnagIt) recently put this tutorial online about video frame rates, which is a technical topic. It explains the concepts easily with video examples and feel it is a good resource to share. Check it out here.

“Ultrawide” Presentations here at TLC Creative Services refer to any presentation that is wider than 16×9. And we are excited by the number of these design projects that come our way each year – a reflection of the increased use of edge blending technology to “gang” projectors and also a reflection of our design team’s expertise in understanding the technical needs as well as design needs for these “Ultrawide” screens.
Here is a standard 16×9 setup. Single projector to a single screen projecting at the industry standard 1920×1080 pixel “high def”.
And here is a common Ultrawide setup. 3 High Def projectors ganged together (note: no edge blending consideration in this example) across a single super wide screen for a 5,760×1080 pixel projection.
The important element for presentation design is that the slides are setup as a single 5760×1080 presentation, not 3 separate 16×9 presentations. For design, everything from slide transition choices, to size of text are important considerations for the audience experience.
Up next, a few portfolio examples of recent Ultrawide presentation template design projects.
