Powerpoint Animated Explainer Videos

Websites to get icons Preview 03:58

Before we start the actual work I feel obliged to explain you all the possible resources you want to gather, or at least know where to gather from before you start to create an explainer video. I will start by showing you a website with amazing icons to download.

Websites to get fonts Preview 05:29

Our next step will be to get a quick overview of the websites that offer fonts to free use and download. There are basically a couple of leading websites in that category which everyone should know about.

Websites to get characters Preview 03:28

When it comes to animated videos and expecially explainer videos there is a big chance that you want   friednly cartoon face go along wiht your story. I will show you a few resources and websites where you can get free, paid, jpg and vector characters for use!

JPG, PNG or Vector? Hard PowerPoint question Preview 06:01

This is a very hard choice because the line is clearly drawn - PowerPoint is not great with vectors, but if you have some vector editing program (like the paid Adobe Illustrator or InkScape which is free) you can very easily save vector images as EMF files and put them into PowerPoint.

Importing Vector into PowerPoint (for Windows) Preview 04:54

With this lecture I would like to show you the entire workflow and technique of importing vector files into PowerPoint using Adobe Illustrator. If you cannot afford or get this fotware please try using InkScape (which can be downloaded from inkscape.org), the program seems to be able to export EMF as well!

Importing Vector into PowerPoint (for MAC) Preview 03:24

I don't use a MAC computer but from various sources I know that it's very difficult to import EMF or any kind of vector file into the MAC version of PowerPoint. With this lecture I would like to share and explain to you what I was able to gather.

Embedding fonts Preview 03:09

It might be also very important for you to know that you can EMBED fonts into a PowerPoint presentation. This doesn't always work 100% and depends on the font itself, it's glyphs, signs and licenses but for most cases this feature allows you to "save" a font right within your presentation PPTX file, which is really amazing!

Preparing a template Preview 04:24

Once you garther resources I want you to remember that you can set up a Template file for yourself within PowerPoint. Let me show you how, you can simply drag & drop elements for future use!

Importing color schemes Preview 02:24

The same way we import other elements we can import a color scheme to use throughout our presentation. We can use the PRNT SCR function on our keyboard and simply press CTRL (CMD) + V inside the software to import the screenshot. Then by using the cropping function we can have a little color scheme palette right by our side!

Remove background from JPG images Preview 02:36

A very important feature in PowerPoint can be removing the backgrounds from JPG or other type of files. With this tutorial I want to show you how to use this function within powerpoint to properly remove elements from pictures.

Building 2D scenes Preview 03:19

The basic layout of an explainer video can be this 2D scene and I would like to teach you how to do it. Of course there are thousands of ways how to create a scene but this one will be perfect for a character-based animation.

Building 3D scenes Preview 02:54

Another interesting way of out video creation process will be setting up 3D scenes in PowerPoint. I will show you a simple but effective example of how to create a scene like this in PowerPoint by setting up a few rectangles and blocks and editing their shape points.

Rotating elements in 3D space Preview 04:02

Here I wish to show you advanced powerpoint tools which allow us to rotate elements in a 3D space. This will allow us to put our elements within a 3D scene at almost any degree.

Effect Options Preview 02:09

Before we finally jump into the real work I need to show you a few features about animations which I believe are crucial for advanced video animation. Knowing the effect options of effects will allow you to animate with more freedom.

Smooth & bounce Preview 03:32

Some of the PowerPoint animations allow us to change the interpolation of their animation sequence - we can use smoothing to make an animation look more playful instead of just a regular, one dimensional movement towards a direction. With the right effect we can give it a little bounce at the end or smooth out the end so it starts quicker and then enters the scene slower  at the end.

Multiple animations Preview 04:25

It is possible in PowerPoint to add multiple animations to one object, in this lecture I will show you how the Add Animation button is used.

MORPH is a game changer Preview 06:01

There is one very important topic I need to tell you about - it's the new MORPH transition which PowerPoint 2019 and Office 365 users have available for themselves. It's a crucial animation that can be a big game-changer for transitions within PowerPoint.

Introduction Preview 00:45

Let me introduce what will we be creating in this seciton.

Designing the piece Preview 04:04

I will show you how to design simple explainer video elements from scratch in this video. No outside resources.

Zooming the first frame Preview 01:52

Let us start the zoom by utilizing the MORPH transition

Expanding the Explainer Video Preview 02:51

Let me show you how to expand the animations to other slides and get more out of the design you prepared.

Finalizing the project Preview 02:54

A couple of adjustments to finalize the project.

Advanced Grow and Shrink Animation Preview 04:14

With this lecture, I will teach you how you can adjust your Grow/Shrink animation to use for any picture, background or object and make a looping animation out of it. With a few PowerPoint options and tweaks we can repeat, loop and smooth out our animation to act as a little enhancement in our slides.

Walk cycle animation (with JPG character) Preview 05:10

I will show you one way of making an animated walk cycle in PowerPoint. There are plenty of ways of doing it, but none of them is perfect since PowerPoint isn't alble to rig and connect characters together. That's why we have to use some work arounds to make these kind of animations. I wouldn't recommend them too much, for powerpoint animations it's best to create simplier things like animating a character in and just moving the character along with a line animation instead of focusing on the leg or other parts movement. I hope you can enjoy this quick little tutorial how to make a walk cycle unsing a pre-made jpg character!

Custom Slide Transition Preview 05:30

With this tutorial I would like to show you how to create a custom slide transition in PowerPoint. The native PowerPoint transitions are very limited and already over-used. It is time for some simple but fancy motion-graphics we can utilize to transition between our slides. This technique works best for slides with a one-color backgrounds , flat designed presentations and any type of kinetic type animations. I hope it's useful and refreshing!

Dynamic Kinetic Typography Animation Preview 05:42

This lecture will teach you how to create very fast-paced and dynamic text animations for your presentations!

Motion Graphics tite slide Preview 09:17

Motion graphics is my favourite topic and it will appear regularly on this channel. This video will show you how to design an animated title slide with moving, organic and natural feeling elements around it. The focal point will be a round shape and text within it in the middle, but in the back the entire motion will come to fruition. Organically moving circles and moving elements all around, I hope you'll enjoy it! :) Thank every single one of you for being here and helping the YT algorithms with a like or comment. I know, stupid, but can't do anything else to be seen!
