PowerPoint and Adobe Creative Cloud Pt. 1 – The Presentation Podcast Episode #112

The Presentation Podcast

 

Episode #112: PowerPoint and Adobe Creative Cloud Pt. 1 is up!

This week we welcome presentation design and Adobe guru Mark Heaps to talk about—what else—how Adobe plays with PowerPoint and vice-versa.

We’re releasing this on the first day of AdobeMax2020 which, conveniently, Mark is also speaking at. And because this is not a small topic, we’re splitting the episode into two parts so we don’t have to skip over anything important as we talk about using Creative Cloud libraries, Adobe fonts, and workflows for going from PowerPoint to Adobe and back from PowerPoint to Adobe.

Slidewise Add-in for PowerPoint

I’m beyond excited for a brand new add-in for PowerPoint called Slidewise from the good folks at Neuxpower.com. 

Finally, you now have the ability to analyze your PowerPoint file for bloated images and video AND replace fonts painlessly without frustrating errors.

Slidewise is being early-released in a pre-1.0 version at a reduced cost, because the creators just want it in as many hands as possible as soon as possible. I already have made this a part of my regular workflows for client projects, and I would urge everyone who has ever wondered why their PowerPoint file is so large or why they just can’t get rid of that instance of Arial, to take a look and try it out.

This is the kind of add-in that pays for itself pretty quickly, but if you would like an opportunity to win a free license, listen to episode of #109 of The Presentation Podcast (releasing today) as we have licenses to give away!

At this point, it is PC-only.

Here’s a little tutorial I put together on Slidewise.

The Presentation Boss Podcast

I recently discovered a fantastic podcast on speaking and presentation from down under called The Presentation Podcast, hosted by Thomas Krafft and Kate Norris.

In a unique approach, they rotate weekly among three different formats: An interview with a figure in the presentation or speech world, a speech breakdown in which they play a speech by a public figure and critique it, and an topic episode in which they cover a particular aspect of presentation.

I was on this week’s installment, Episode #64. Check it out here!
