Adding Presenter Notes

PowerPoint has a couple of really cool features called, presenter’s view, audience view and presenter notes. Using presenter notes, which is something I will show you how to use in this course, allows you to cut down on the number of text in the slide deck to your audience view.  Only you can see the presenter notes and you can be as detailed as you need while the audience is seeing something cleaner with less notes.

Working with Text: Adding Presenter Notes

To learn more, I’ve created an exciting course called PowerPoint: From Outline to Presentation, for Lynda.com http://www.lynda.com/PowerPoint-tutorials/Adding-presenter-notes/147021/156065-4.html

Creating an effective visual presentation should lend itself to a strong speaker support.  This comes from having compelling visuals and effective slide decks that communicate content to an audience.  Occasionally presenters forget about this because they are too wrapped up in the overall presentation.  In this course, I’ll share my workflow for building an effective PowerPoint presentation, starting with a strong outline. Learn to create the outline, get input from collaborators, and then transition that outline to an initial slide deck. Once you're in PowerPoint, I will show you how to format your slides; add tables, graphics, movies, and animation (like transitions and reveals); and prepare and rehearse your presentation for your final audience. Having an organized workflow starts with a cohesive outline.  It’s all about making your presentation come to life.  In doing this, you’ll give a valuable presentation that the audience won’t forget.

Topics in this course include:

  • Setting a schedule and goals
  • Working in stages
  • Building an outline
  • Using an outline to create your initial slides
  • Formatting text
  • Changing templates and themes
  • Using photos, shapes, and charts in PowerPoint
  • Adding video
  • Animating your slideshow
  • Consolidating, testing, and rehearsing you presentation

Transferring GoPro Footage to a Computer

GoPro Studio is a great free app that GoPro offers for people who want to organize their footage from their computer. You need to have a registered GoPro to get this app.  In this course I'll walk through getting footage off of the memory card and mounted onto your computer so you can organize your footage. You will also need an SD card adapter and a USB card reader to get faster transfer speeds. You can also import the footage into Lightroom or Aperture as well, or directly off of your Finder, it all depends what’s best for your workflow.  One of the benefits of using this app is that you can trim parts of clips that you don’ t want before you hit the editorial stage with the clips themselves. Learn this easy and efficient workflow that will get your footage organized in no time and explore some of the elements that GoPro Studio has to offer.

Tethering to a Laptop

Tethering is a method where your camera is talking to your computer and it allows you to not only see your photos on your computer screen, and in more detail, but you can also do some processing right away. In this course I will explain in details what’s involved with tethering your camera to your laptop as well as external monitors.

Setting and Testing your Strobes: Tethering to a Laptop

http://www.lynda.com/Photography-Cameras-Gear-tutorials/Tethering-laptop/148583/155576-4.html

Strobe lighting has become increasingly popular and is a lot of fun to work with. One advantage to strobe lights is that the light has the same color as daylight, so you can mix strobes and daylight as you would with a flash fill or an architectural image.  In this course, expert photographer Abba Shapiro and I will dive into the basics of strobe lighting, show you a few demos, and how to get the most out of what you already have.  We’ll also talk to you about building an affordable kit, while showing you different modifiers and lights to capture creative shots with simple equipment.

Topics in this course include:

  • Why shoot with strobes?
  • Buying a lighting setup or parts
  • Mixing brands
  • Understanding the components of a studio strobe kit
  • Getting to know your lights
  • Triggering a light
  • Setting up your lights effectively
  • Testing your strobes
  • Modifying strobe lights

Using Microsoft PowerPoint to Create or Modify an Outline

While my preferred method of creating an outline is in Microsoft Word, it’s also possible to create or modify your outline right from PowerPoint.  Creating the outline in one program and moving it to another such as PowerPoint for the creation of the presentation, forces you to look at the same outline twice, which is a good thing.  In this course, I will show you how to create an outline using PowerPoint and we’ll walk through the necessary steps one at a time.

Recording Multicamera Edits

Multicamera editing is a convenience and a very handy feature in Adobe Premiere Pro CC.  You’re essentially making the initial edit.  With the example I’m giving here, I recommend to watch this sequence a few times to get familiar with the angles.  In this course I’ll walk through selecting and recording multicamera edits.

Using a Wireless Transmitter

Remote triggers are great to work with because they will wirelessly send a flash which then ultimately creates a relationship between the trigger and flash. I’m joined by expert photographer Abba Shapiro in this course, where we will explain transmitters, receivers and how to make sure you’re setting off only your flash and not other photographers’ flashes when working in a large shoot with various cameras and photographers.
