Hi everyone.
So let's start doing this first video project together.
And like I said you follow my steps.
You don't necessarily need to copy everything exactly like I do.
You just need to do it your way and understand the principles that I will be teaching here.
So open up your PowerPoint and let's start by violating these things.
So you click on them then you click delete on your keyboard.
Click again delete and just a little thing before that you have to do is depending on the version of
your PowerPoint it will open right away in 16 by 9.
But if it doesn't you have to send it yourself.
This is extremely important.
So to do this you click on design here and then slide size.
And here you click.
Wide screen 8:54.
Don't leave it in for three.
And usually if you have PowerPoint like 2013 or a bit higher this is the default size at which it opens.
So choose this one.
So you saw the video that we want to do.
And for this let's find some cool background.
So for the purpose of this video we have to find a background that looks like a chalkboard like in a
school.
Let's do this.
So let's go on Google to search for an image of a chalkboard.
And by the way my computer is mainly in French.
The PowerPoint is in English so no problem with that.
But the rest of the things on my PC are in French.
But don't worry about this because it's not important at all it will not change anything for you.
So let's type here chalkboard.
You're actually chalkboard background
then click on images.
Right.
So you might find a different chalkboard than me but it's not a big deal.
You really need to find the big picture to have a good quality this is really important.
So click here.
Normally in English it's tools.
And here you have size and you have to choose large.
All right.
And I think this is the one here that I used before.
But basically what's important here is to take a picture which has the size of at least two thousand
nine hundred twenty pixels by thousand eighty.
This is extremely important.
That's the minimum size of the screens today so you have to have a good quality on your video on your
PowerPoint video so choose a picture that has a really large sites here.
All right so let's take this one and then click Show image and this takes you to the original web site.
And apparently here I can download it.
So download this picture and then you should put it in one folder the same folder that you will use
for the rest of your video project.
So you have everything inside in one place and just on a side note.
So every picture every content on the Internet is copyrighted.
It belongs to someone.
So before you use it for commercial purposes you really need to check that license.
But there you have to buy it or not et cetera et cetera.
But I will talk about this more in details in the latest section of this course.
For now just pick any background that she won because it's only for you it's for your educational and
testing purposes.
All right.
So let's go back to Powerpoint now.
And so here once you have this picture you do a right click form a background you choose picture or
texture fill click on file here.
So open your folder here with the chalkboard background and double click on it.
So that's it.
We have our background.
It's all set.
This is very good.
This is the first step.
