Portraits are so 3000 BC. Instead, show off your team’s culture and vibe using fun and engaging portrait videos. With CustomShow, you can crop videos after they are added to the slide!
Steps

Set the Build Order to 1, and configure the Start to ‘After Previous’. Adjust the Duration to 1 second, with ‘0’ Delay, and choose ‘Linear’ for Easing.
- Next, select the portrait Video 1, hold Command (Control for Windows), and select its respective title and sub-title. Then, apply the Build In effect: ‘Fade’. Set the Build Order to 2, and configure the Start to ‘After Previous’. Keep the Duration at 1 sec, with 0 sec Delay, and choose ‘Linear’ for Easing.

Design Tips & Tricks 🔥
- For the best result, use videos of equal duration, where your subjects are not moving too fast. Slow-motion videos work well here.
- Make sure the last frame of the video is an appropriate still image of your subject.
