FAQ

Cloud finance teams can optimize video speed in PowerPoint for secure, branded investor presentations in several ways. First, consider the file size of your videos. Large video files can slow down your presentation, so try to compress them without significantly reducing quality. PowerPoint offers built-in video compression options that can be accessed via the ‘File’ menu, then ‘Compress Media’. Select the quality level that best suits your needs.

In addition, consider the format of your videos. PowerPoint generally works best with MP4 videos encoded with H.264 video (a video compression standard) and AAC audio (a type of audio file). If your videos are in a different format, consider using a video conversion tool to change them to a more compatible format.

Another strategy is to link to the video file rather than embedding it directly in the PowerPoint presentation. This can help to keep the PowerPoint file size manageable, especially for large videos. However, keep in mind that you’ll need to have access to the location where the linked video is stored when you present.

To ensure your investor presentations are secure and branded, always apply your company’s standard branding elements consistently across all slides. This can include logos, color schemes, fonts, and other design elements. Additionally, password-protect your PowerPoint presentations to prevent unauthorized access or changes.

Finally, for optimal performance, make sure your computer’s hardware, software, and drivers are up-to-date. PowerPoint’s performance can be affected by the overall performance of your computer, so it’s important to keep everything up-to-date and running smoothly.
