Thank you for coming and watching! Let me know if you found this helpful or what slideshow software you like to use!

[Scentsem]

Thank you for this tutorial. I have been trying to do a PPT slideshow for my mom's funeral and was feeling overwhelmed by the whole thing. I needed someone to go through this step by step with me; my brain just isn't working like I want it to. Thank you for making it easier.

[tanyaappuhn]

And I wanted to add: THANK YOU! This is making my husband's CoL planning much easier!!

[fayc]

thank you so much for posting this tutorial, very helpful, you didn't mention how to add music to a powerpoint presentation

[Maddie.Behnke]

Thank you. I am feeling so overwhelmed and this really helped me figure out my first steps.

[nikiasher]

great video with lot's of great tips. As someone you teaches presentation skills for a living, you're great. One tip is to really shorten this down, get to the software within the first 90-120 seconds.

[peggycochran]

Thank you for this. I think I can figure it out, but you didn't go over how to add music.

[tomcolclough]

This is very helpful. Can you explain how to add music to the PowerPoint video? (My own music, not copyrighted)

[MoroMoro]

This was great. Very easy to follow along. Love the explanations. Thank you

[katewatters]

You said you were going to give instructions for adding music but you didn't.

[sheryltupa]

I’m doing a celebration of life show, but it will be shown on 75” TVs in our clubhouse. Would I still choose “wide screen” for these?

[SayItKey]

Have you added a few videos mix with photos?

[darrellpage]

trying to add my transitions. When I right click on the first picture, there is no "select all" option. When I just click on "transitions" there is only the one option of time duration, and no check box for "mouse click." I can't get it to play without clicking the mouse.

[nicolechristineadams]

Hello, thanks for the instructions! How would we add music?

[edgarbernardino]

when the video is over, does it loop?

[tanyaappuhn]

Ugh - PPT used to allow you to add an album that put a picture on each slide. That doesn't seem to exist any more for PPT for Mac (source: I made our wedding slide show 15 years ago on a PC with PPT and it was easy). I will be using Keynote after all, at least to start because I will have hundreds of pics!

[kathleenknopp]

Thank you this sounds great but I don't know how to do this

[joywilliams]

An you add video snipets to the slideshow?

[susan]

How long & amount of pictures for a very small memorial . Less than 30. My sister just passed away yesterday. I want to do something special.

[yolala]

Can you add multiple songs on the slideshow
