Video can significantly enhance the effectiveness of visual storytelling in presentations by adding a dynamic and engaging element. It can help to illustrate points more vividly, provide real-world context, and engage the audience's senses more fully than static images or text. Video can also convey complex information in a digestible way, making it easier for the audience to understand and remember the content. However, it's important to use video appropriately - don't use autoplay, ensure the video is relevant to the content, and control the start time to avoid technical glitches.
Question was asked on:
Director of Product Research and Development at TED, Aaron Weyenberg, says the following about creating compelling presentations with video: "For video, don't use autoplay. It's super easy to insert video in Keynote and Powerpoint – you just drag a Quicktime file onto the slide. And when you advance the deck to the slide with the video that autoplays, sometimes it can take a moment for the machine to actually start playing it. So often I've seen presenters click again in an attempt to start the video during this delay, causing the deck to go to the next slide. Instead, set the video to click to play. That way you have more predictable control over the video start time, and even select a poster frame to show before starting."
