Video is the most powerful and influential way to deliver a message but leveraging this popular medium from within a presentation that needs to work live, online and on demand can be a challenge.

If the mere thought of frame rates, resolutions and codec is enough to make you doubt the wisdom of embracing video at all then this is the webinar for you!

I will demonstrate the best practices for sourcing, formatting and showcasing video based content in your presentations.

 You will learn how to 

  • source video
  • edit video
  • format video
  • manage the compromise between video quality and file size
  • make all the adjustments and tweaks that will take your presentational use of video to the next level
