Training Program: "Video Hacks for foreign journalists: Animation & Narration on deadline"
The Association of Foreign Press Correspondents (AFC-USA) in partnership with Microsoft presents an online demonstration on making a video using PowerPoint. Creating videos and animations even for social can be an expensive and time-consuming enterprise, especially for newsrooms without a robust graphics desk. Join the News Labs team in this webinar on hacking PowerPoint to go beyond presentations to animation and video. See how to lay down audio tracks, create animated transitions, edit on the fly, and export to various video formats suitable for web and social under deadline.
This program is sponsored by MICROSOFT
WHEN: Monday, August 31 at 1 pm EDT (Live and online)
