Video Frame Rate – A Beginners Guide
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 General Session #2 (Portfolio)
“Ultrawide” presentations are any aspect ratio wider than the standard 16×9. For this project, the specs were a 2 projector blend (with 240 pixel edge blending) for the General Session.
2 screens wide, designed as a single ultrawide template, with 6 background variations (different for each presenter/division).
Note: Portfolio example only, template and presentation files not available for download.

Ultrawide General Session (Portfolio)
Ultrawide General Session shows tend to involve more planning and design considerations for things like 16×9 PIPs (for video and standard widescreen presentations). Presentations that use the full canvas also have many design considerations to look great for the audience. Here is one look of a ultrawide presentation template that TLC Creative developed for a recent show.
3 screens wide, designed as a single ultrawide template with design consideration for outside 4×3 IMAG PIPs (live camera of the presenter).

Ultrawide Awards Show (Portfolio)
Awards shows are events that have lots of great staging and theatrics. TLC Creative is brought in to many awards shows to develop a glitzy-dynamic-unique presentation look for the awards show – that does not look like “PowerPoint’. Here is an example of a recent awards show project UltraWide presentation template.
3 screens wide, designed as a single ultrawide presentation with presentation design across the full canvas. Note: portfolio example only, template and presentation files not available for download.
