Here at PowerPoint team we're always working hard to deliver new features
that help you create more impactful presentations in less time. Today I want
to show you the work we've done to deliver two new amazing capabilities
Designer, which automatically provides layout and design suggestions when you
add images to your slides. And Morph,
which helps you create fluid video like slide transitions. Let's start with designer.
Designer was built to save you time creating presentations it also
allows you to create beautiful looking slides that would otherwise be out of reach.
Let me show you some of the steps a professional designer would take to
create an amazing title slide. The first thing I'm going to do is add an image so that
we're communicating more visually. I'll pick a photo and I don't want to just be
floating on top so I'm actually going to send it to the back, now the texts on top
but it's hard to read so I need to add some contrast. So I'm going to insert a shape and in
this case I'll use a parallelogram so that it fits with angular motif of this
theme. I'll resize it. I'll change the colors so that it matches the background
and I'm actually move it backwards so that is behind the text and then I just
need to resize the text placeholders so that it's on top of the shape
Now I've already clocked in about a dozen clicks and I knew exactly what I was going for
and I know where all the buttons are and still the slide needs quite a bit of work
So let me show you the same workflow but with Designer
I'm going to insert the same photo
and that's when Designer comes in and it shows me the design ideas
So over here on the right, I'll have to do is click on these and immediately I get a
beautiful looking design that's perfectly put together everything is in
the right place and it just looks intentional
Designer and gives me that option
along with a number of other variations that I can pick from
I'm going to show you one last example
Where I'm going to insert a photo of a chart
Designers is smart enough to know that this is a
non-photographic image instead. So instead of giving me background options, it will move the design
elements out of the way and place the chart next to them
in a way that looks balanced and intentional
Now let's look at Morph and this is what Morph look like
You might think this is an animation sequence but it's not
These are a series of simple slides with transitions that move between them
and it's really easy to use. Let me show you. So for example you'll notice that
Neptune wasn't part of the animation sequence. If I want to included it, all I have to do
is come in here and delete these text objects or move them off to the side
maybe make it a little smaller, pull Neptune in, resize it and bring in the annotations
and resize them as well
And now if I start from the previous slide
Neptune is now part of the sequence and Morph automatically stitches altogether for me
Just like other transitions we can render at 30 to 60 frames per second
or as fast as your GPU is able to handle. Let me show you know that example
Here I've got a bike and what I want to do is separate all the parts to show how it's
constructed. So I've used Morph to move each part to different part of the
screen and it automatically stitches it together. So let's say I want swap these wheels.
I'll have to do is move them to the opposite sides of the screen and
and Morph automatically stitches everything together for me. You can actually modify
points to morph between shape geometries. So here I am actually turning a square
into a rectangle, parallelogram or a trapezoid. You can also set transforms to
You can also set transforms to interpolate in three dimensions.
Both Morph and Designer represent our
continued focus on making PowerPoint the best presentation tool for anyone
Not just designers and not just power users. To get started with Designer and Morph
and upcoming pre-release capabilities in Office
