One issue tho, How did u get ur rectangle to have those cut off edges?
Hi, just a regular rectangle/square shape 🙏
@@SlideSkills When i use rectangle or square shape i cant cut the corners off Nevermind I got it! Thank u so much for replying
Awesome teaching, interesting method and wonderful outcome. Worth to watch!
Thanks 🙏💜
Nice! Love Your Videos. You deserve more subs!
Appreciate it 🙏💜
Bro the video was awesome, but instead of doing all that we can just select the background first then the shape and intersect them. This way we can achieve the results easily and quickly. Thanks a lot for the Tips man, love u
That also works! 🙏💜 Appreciate the feedback & support
This is absolutely amazing, thank you
Happy to help! :)
I love ur videos and u just earned a new sub again
Thanks a lot 🙏💜
This is excellent work! Earned a new sub :)
Thanks a lot 🙏💜
Thank you mate!
Happy to help!
Thank you so much for sharing this, it looks awesome!
Quick question: when you're dragging the "image pills" to the top right corner @7:52, the bottom right one is cut off. Is there a way to make it round?
Hi Daniel, sharp eye! I only noticed during the editing. I accidentally cut it of with the overlaying rectangle I used to “subtract” the pills. I would make that one a bit larger, having it overflow the slide. This way all shapes keep their original rounded corners.
Alternatively you could also make the pills smaller, so they fit the slide. But I like the “overflow” effect on the edges.
Thanks for the nice comment by the way 🙏💜
I love ur videos u earned a new sub
Thanks 🙏💜 Appreciate it

Happy to help 🙏💜

😉✌️
Wow, what a great creativity potential. Super nice.

THANKS BRO
You’re very welcome 🙏💜 thanks for watching

Happy to help 🙏💜
I have no idea why but Idh some options you posses on your presentation. For example orange dot to round recktangle, Merge shapes and few more. Is there any chance that yk re reason for it?
Hi, I think it has to do with the version of ppt. I'm using office 365 in the desktop app 🙏💜
Lol, very well presented. Amazing job.
Thanks 🙏💜
Hi I am not able to do the "select hape + select picture" thingy...for some reason I cannot select the background picture although I inserted it as you did...what should I do?
Hi, not sure what's happening in your case. Can you maybe select the by dragging across the entire image? If not I would say try again with a new slide, maybe it accidentally locked 🙏💜
thanks for the awesome video
Happy to help 🙏💜
this is fine although I don't know how to increase the roundness of the corner in my chromebook can you find a way to help me with that?
Hi, it’s a different shape, make sure to select the rounded rectangle shape first, only then you can modify it with the dot in the corner
@@SlideSkills I selected the rounded rectangle shape and still cant find the yellow dot please I need help
super awesome!! how do you do the time line % which animates with the slides as they progress as on 4:21
Hi, that’s done in Final Cut Pro video editing 👍
The merge picture really does not work I tried
Hi, what’s the step you’re getting stuck at?
Yes,even i am not getting the merge option after duplicating the slide
Bro select both shapes
@@geetakushwah4607 bro what you mean select both shapes?
You also have to be using the desktop app and not the web
this video made me hard for some weird reason
Also thanks, this will really help for a school project,
:)
Hey, I hope you can help me. I cant find the union, subtract, ect in the free online version, and the text limit is 96. I cant seem to manually change it.
Hi, I noticed there are some limitations to the free online version. Shape format is missing for example. For this you would need to upgrade your powerpoint version.
@@SlideSkills Aw man, I really wanted to some of your tricks for my school project. Thanks alot though!
I would advise to use this type of slide. That’s possible on the free online version ua-cam.com/video/itQfpvxNd40/v-deo.htmlsi=1mrcl4vsnzFoVF67
Good Video, how you made it that you have the dimensions left top length while you make the forms ? where is the option for that ?
Hi, it was turned on automatically for me in office 365. I think you can turn it on and off in the smart grid settings 🙏💜
I've made a video about it here. Tip number 3
ua-cam.com/video/aNj3YnaMHp0/v-deo.htmlsi=Zc1x6RnNLguK8yC0
I want to use an image that i like but because of the format it is too smal and if i make it bigger it does not look clean anymore is there a way to use 3 of them at once side by side or make 3 of the images 1 because what you showed in 2:55 does only work with one picture and i do not know what to do
Hi, normally if you reduce the size the image will repeat itself until the shape is filled if that’s what you mean?
@SlideSkills it was an image from Pinterest for a smartphone background, and when enlarged, it didn't look as good as before. I downloaded an edit app on my phone and solved my issue through that, but still, I appreciate the fast response and thank you for the video. My presentation is going to be beautiful thanks to you.
Appreciate your support 🙏
Does this work on Powerpoint from Microsoft Teams?
I dont find the intersect thing...
It works but you have to use the desktop app, the online version. Doesn’t have shape format 👍
Do i need any special type of powerpoint for that? Mine does not have the functions yours has. Is it a paid version or something? Idek which one i have
For this one you don't need a very recent version. Just make sure to work in the desktop app for the shape format button to appear 🙏💜
You have an old version. I think
Yo bro. when im done with the union thing and when im on the step to make it intersect it does not work. the bottun is grey and i cant click it. Do you know what the problem might be and how to fix it?
Hi, that means your selection isn’t correct, try it with 2 simple shapes to see if it works 🙏💜
Hi Sir I cant find the Merge Shapes can you please help me with finding it
Hi. Make sure to work in the desktop app and not the web version 👍
Ah thx I just used the desktop app@@SlideSkills
Plus at the end I somehow can’t paste the text into the first slide
Hello i hope u can reply because after i made them union i can't click on merge again
Hi, you have to ungroup first before you can merge I think
Sir can say which powerpoint are you using
Office 365 👍
Great Video but somehow when I do it, some text doesnt fly in but just morphes normally in my slide. What should I do?
Hi, that happens when the content between the two slides isn't exactly the same. Best to checked either grouped items, layer order or content 🙏💜
I can't merge and intersect. Can I do this on Google slides? What do you mean by we need the desktop version of PowerPoint. Where can I find this desktop version of it? Pls help
Make sure to work in the desktop app, not the web version. This has al the features. You have to purchase it via office.com 🙏💜
sadly doasnt work in older veersions (i use power point 2013 for some reason, i just like it).. but surely a good thing!
You might need a more recent version indeed. I do have tutorials like the push transitions that would work and look great as well!
witch power point it is i dont have merge shape
I'm using office 365
Microsoft 365 has morph feature? I can't seem to find it
Yes, I’m working on office 365 as well 👍
@@SlideSkills Ι use the free 365 version and cannot find neither the yellow dot nor the union etc. in shape forms please I need help
How can I make my ppt app have morph transition pls ?
Hi, you’ll need to upgrade to a more recent version of PowerPoint
can you put a zip with this presentation or show where i be able to bay it?
Hi, all presentations are available on patreon.com/SlideSkills 🙏💜
I am learning alot from this however am still stuck on rediting slide one to put in content 2:20 to 3:00
Hi, what’s the part that isn’t working for you?
I can’t round the rectangle, the yellow dot is not visible
I'm on the desktop version. Once I union the picture and duplicate I can't go make to the first image and intersect as it is greyed out. Doesn't work.
Hi, you'll have to unite the shapes first, then add the picture as a fill to that shape. 🙏💜
I don't have morph transition where to get it
Hi, make sure you have the latest version of PowerPoint (e.g. office 365). You can always use PowerPoint online for free as well, this is the latest version
@@SlideSkills can I use Microsoft 365 online?
Yes, the latest version is available online 👍
@@SlideSkills thank you sir, I got it
where is this union button at 2:40 i cant find it
Hi, make sure to work in the dekstop app. It doesn't appear in the web version.
how do you round the edges?
Hi, you have to select the shape “rounded rectangle”
what version of power point is it
Office 365 👍
my figures when I click intersect disappear...can you help me and tell me why ? thanks
Hi, the order in which you select the shapes is important. You first have to select the background shape, then the ones you want to subtract. Is this what's causing the issue for you?
?I have no designer tab in my power point. Can anybody help with that?
Hi, I'm working in office 365 on the desktop app. I think you need a recent version
I do EXACTLY as you do but at 2:50 I cant click the "merge shapes" button. What am I doing wrong?????
Hi. If it’s greyed out you haven’t selected 2 shapes. Try holding The shift key while selecting two or more shapes
can you give me the temp^late lien to download it
Hi, all templates are available on patreon.com/Slideskills 🙏💜
It is great but i dont have a option to make it more round
Hi, make sure to select the rounded rectangle shape 👍
how can i see the rotation degree?
Hi, you can turn it on in the grid section. I've made a video about the grids & stuff. Think it's there as well 🙏💜
ua-cam.com/video/aNj3YnaMHp0/v-deo.htmlsi=nq6QjIv8WqkmbXxt
Help,it wont allow me to use 'Merge Shapes' after putting them in union
Hi, you might need to ungroup first before using the merge option
@@SlideSkills oh your right it worked . Thanks I'll sub
I dont have this megre tab
Hi, make sure to work on the desktop version
Merge shape option is greyed out
Hi, that means you either haven’t selected the right objects or not enough. Try it with 2 simple shapes to see if it works
when i paste the picture then automaticle the picture form there own file appear
Hi, not sure what you’re referring to?
why cant i intersect the shape, i cant even go to the merge shapes thing
Hi, make sure to work on the desktop app 🙏💜 It doesn't show in the web version unfortunately
Hello, I have a problem, the intersect does not work, as in the video it simply removes the figure
Hi, the order you select the objects is important. Make sure to select the rectangle first, only then the shape 🙏💜
How make slides with "Tutorial Includes"?
Hi, that’s added later on in a video editing software. But it could be done in PowerPoint as well. I’ll make a video about it in the future. Some sort of an agenda/overview slide
@@SlideSkills is there a tutorial on how to make this table of content slide?
bro i dont get it when you were making the intercect part, control c does not work
Hi, not sure which part you’re referring to
sorry firgured it out@@SlideSkills
I have the same problem as the last person but don't really know how to fix it. good video tho
Hi, what’s your issue?
@@SlideSkills Hello :). after the step of uniting the shapes and trying the next step I am unable to press that button anymore. in a previous commen you advised to use 2 shapes at first but it that doesn't do much. I have found an alternative less clean way and am still able to do the other steps shown in the video so it's good.
@@ribeyesteak9641what's the alternative???
Where is shape format in microsoft 365?
You need to select an item first for it to show up 👍
How do you make the slide 0:16-0:19 parts
Hi, that’s not a slide but made in Final Cut Pro afterwards 🙏💜
how to paste to the other slide 9:26
Hi, I use the shortcut Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V
i do not get the option to round the rectangle
Hi, make sure to select the rounded rectangle form the shapes, not the regular one 👍
I have done that, still doesn't work, could it be because i am on the browser version?
That could maybe be the case.
I can not use designer I have not unlocked it
Hi, I'm working on the office 365 version. Think that's the reason
i cant round egdges i hate no yellow orb or something
Hi, make sure to have the rounded rectangle shape selected 👍
@@SlideSkills i do. Im on powerpoint online. Can i still to it?
@@SlideSkills i figured it out, i needed to use the app thx for the tutorial!
It is not really working for me, i don't have the shape format option, neither merge shapes. I tried to make it simple since none of this worked and it looks like a disaster lol
Ai 🥲 You have to work in the desktop app for the shape format option
Cant find format shape
Hi, make sure you’re working on the app 👍
Did you find it?
@@legend-player noo
@@ishitajain8621 That doesn't work with the normal PowerPoint, you have pay for premium version
Right click on the shape and you will see format shape option 😊🙂
It's funny because he's explaining it with a PowerPoint
😎💜
Isn't that what whole point?????
`why does my picture look so bad every time?
Hi, you’ll have to use a large image. Otherwise it pixelated 🙏
I have no union
Hi, make sure to work in the desktop app 👍
doesnt work
Hi Julius, which part are you getting stuck at?
