When creating a PowerPoint slide presentation, you should avoid “information overload.” In that, you don’t want to overwhelm the audience with too much information or distract from the message with too many graphics, transitions, or animations. How many words do you think should be the limit per slide? And why? Should you use a single or multiple transitions for your PowerPoint presentation? When can animations be used on a slide to help to enforce a message? When can they be a hindrance?
I have a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation with a video clip in it. The clip is only 1.5MB and in WMV format. But when I move on to the slide that contains the video (the video is set to play automatically) there is about a 7 second delay before the video starts playing. And this is running from my hard-drive, not from the USB stick I will be using for the presentation!
Is this normal? How can I remove this lag and get the video to play instantly?
I’ve checked the transitions; it’s not that. My computer has 1GB of RAM so that shouldn’t be the problem. Does anyone else have this problem or do your videos play instantly? If so, then it could be something else to do with my computer.
