I wrote a little bit about PowerPoint 2010 in Should I upgrade to Microsoft Office 2010? back in July. Microsoft unveiled the teaser of the slide show that’s created entire on the PowerPoint 2010. See the video below for the working demo.
Feature Sets (According to The PowerPoint Team Blog)
· Fully hardware-accelerated rendering engine
· New transition effects and an updated user interface
· Revamped animation effects and a brand new UI (timelines!)
· Animation Painter (copy your animations between objects)
· Choreograph animations with multimedia
The Good/Bad:
PowerPoint 2010 is visually appealing without a doubt. It is possible to create more interactive and fun slide shows if you are an entertainer. However, visuals can easily kill your presentation if you cannot draw audience’s attention with your message. I can also foresee the situation where presenters use too many animation and the points they are trying to make are scattered. My biggest fear would be to see presenters using same cool animation template which gets us bored. In my opinion, generic effects are plain but not boring, whereas special effects are special but boring.
