Most people are familiar with&nbsp;<strong>PowerPoint<\/strong>, and almost everyone\u2014in the role of either audience or author, receiver or presenter\u2014has suffered through horrifyingly dull presentations using garish themes, meaningless clip art, obfuscating pie charts, and gratuitous slide transitions, all in a vain attempt to make something interesting out of something that&#8217;s probably boring&#8230; and weirdly, somehow, only succeeding to make it&nbsp;<strong>even more boring<\/strong>&nbsp;in the process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are alternatives to PowerPoint for telling sequential, slideshow-like stories, including Google&nbsp;<strong>Slides<\/strong>, Apple&nbsp;<strong>Keynote<\/strong>, and Adobe&nbsp;<strong>Express<\/strong>. Some may have nicer graphics, easier UI, or more powerful multimedia, but don&#8217;t be fooled.&nbsp;It&#8217;s just as easy to make a horrible slideshow in Keynote as it is using its graphically challenged cousin PowerPoint. So, we&#8217;ll consider what is true for PowerPoint is true for them all: they are&nbsp;<strong><em>intrinsically limiting multimedia authoring tools<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"504\" height=\"378\" data-attachment-id=\"639\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/slideware\/eeei-conside-kind_504_378_80\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/EEEI-Conside-Kind_504_378_80.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"504,378\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"EEEI-Conside-Kind_504_378_80\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/EEEI-Conside-Kind_504_378_80.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/EEEI-Conside-Kind_504_378_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/EEEI-Conside-Kind_504_378_80.jpg 504w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/EEEI-Conside-Kind_504_378_80-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 504px) 100vw, 504px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><a href=\"http:\/\/davidbyrne.com\/explore\/e.e.e.i.-powerpoint\/photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">David Byrne, <strong>Considerate and Kind<\/strong>, from <strong>Envisioning Emotional Epistemological Information<\/strong>, 2001<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, you&#8217;ll find a debate from a couple of angles on whether it&#8217;s possible to create emotionally compelling, rich content in an intrinsically limiting program.

Technically, it&#8217;s not a file at all, but rather a kind of folder (which Mac OS refers to as a Package) that also happens to have an extension, .key, appended to it. This is fine if you are staying inside Mac&#8217;s walled garden, where Packages with extensions are recognized by OSX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But just try and save a .key file to a non-OSX environment: mayhem ensues! Cloud servers like Box, Dropbox, and the like aren&#8217;t &#8220;aware&#8221; of this OSX trick, so when you try to save the .key file to the non-iCloud cloud, it breaks and shows up as a folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution is simple: right-click on your .key file and select&nbsp;<strong>Compress &#8220;yourFileName.key&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;from the contextual menu. This copies the original to a .zip file, which is recognized as a file by a cloud server.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Case_study_2_Slides\"><\/span>Case study 2: Slides<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like making slideshows without managing PowerPoint bloatware, you can&#8217;t do better than Google Slides.

Originally debuting as Adobe <strong>Spark<\/strong> in 2016, it rebranded as Express in 2021, expanding its offerings to allow authors to create a variety of media formats: social media graphics, flyers, and &#8220;videos&#8221; which functioned a bit like a mashup between PowerPoint and iMovie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of this writing, Express is on the move again: by August 9, 2023, a new version with a completely different editing interface will come online. At this point, a pretty straightforward slide-deck function will exist, as well as a very iMovie-like video editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>SO: if you want a very bleeding edge experience, but want to get deeper knowledge of Adobe, choose Express. LinkedIn Learning and other tutorial platforms will NOT have curated content on this software for some time to come.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having said that, I took a test drive of the beta version of the video and slide-deck creators and I found them to be 1) pretty intuitive and 2) fairly in line with the user interfaces of like-kind software, so the learning curve is not steep if you have experience with something like PowerPoint or iMovie. I will say though: assuming the beta is a predictor, if you choose anything to work with for this project, get to know the Video function. Right now, there&#8217;s no reasonable way to auto-forward a slideshow and therefore export a video from it, the way one can from Keynote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Software_access-3\"><\/span>Software access<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Adobe Express<\/strong> is a browser-based software and is available if you have an Adobe account.
