Lecturer: Let's use PowerPoint to create 3 3
a split screen image, so I'll hit shift here, 4 4
take my finger off shift 5 5
and delete both of those, 6 6
and then what we're going to do is, 7 7
we're going to insert an image. 8 8
So, I'll select Insert, Pictures, Picture from File, 9 9
and this image will be on the right-hand side. 10 10
And this is the image here, fisherman. 11 11
And the title of this thumbnail in this YouTube vlog here 12 12
is, "How to be a better investor", 13 13
so I'm using the analogy of, I'll teach you how to fish, 14 14
so you can eat for a lifetime 15 15
instead of giving you a fish. 16 16
Okay, now what I'll do is, this is the right-hand side, 17 17
'Kay I wanna make it centered or close to centered. 18 18
That looks good enough. 19 19
Okay, great. 20 20
Then I want the background here 21 21
to match the color over here 22 22
so what I'll do is I'll make the background here yellow 23 23
so it bleeds over here 24 24
and then we'll insert the text. 25 25
So what we'll do is we'll select insert 26 26
and then we're gonna insert a box. 27 27
So here I'll select shape, 28 28
and I'll make it up to here, 29 29
it bleeds over, it doesn't matter though 30 30
because we're gonna send this to back in a second. 31 31
And we want the color of this to be yellow. 32 32
So shape fill, more colors. 33 33
Tear drop, I'll select that. 34 34
And I'll select okay, great. 35 35
And I don't wanna have a line. 36 36
Click over here, awesome. 37 37
Now I'm gonna right click on this 38 38
and I'm gonna send it to the back. 39 39
Great. 40 40
And don't worry about this overlap here 41 41
because all that's gonna happen when we create the image 42 42
is it's actually gonna take this big rectangle here 43 43
which is 1280 by 720. 44 44
Control Z or command Z, that do. 45 45
All right great, now I'm gonna insert the text. 46 46
Insert text box. 47 47
All in caps as always. 48 48
How to be a better investor. 49 49
Select control A or command A to select all. 50 50
Center it 51 51
and now you're gonna make it much bigger. 52 52
So let me try 72. 53 53
We can go a lot bigger than that. 54 54
Maybe I'll space out this way. 55 55
Yeah. 56 56
All right, I'll make it in Helvetica now 57 57
which is my favorite font. 58 58
Okay, a little bit wider. 59 59
Slightly too big, make it a little bit smaller. 60 60
Okay, that's good. 61 61
And then just to be consistent, 62 62
I want the color of the text to match what we have over here 63 63
we're not using the color wheel in this particular lesson. 64 64
So we're just gonna match the color there. 65 65
So I'll go here, then I'll select here the font color. 66 66
More colors. 67 67
And I'll just pick something that matches over there 68 68
so let me just pick this darker shade of blue. 69 69
Select okay. 70 70
Okay, it looks cool. 71 71
Let's make it bold, command or control B, okay? 72 72
And let's jazz it up a little bit 73 73
by adding a slight outline to it. 74 74
So what we'll do is we're gonna right click here 75 75
and we're gonna select format shape. 76 76
And let's select a color that matches 77 77
what we have on the right side, 78 78
so I'll just select this color here. 79 79
Okay, it's very very slight, it's tough to see. 80 80
And we can make the width even bigger. 81 81
Okay. 82 82
That looks nice, but it's still missing something. 83 83
Maybe we can add a little bit of a shadow. 84 84
Let's go here. 85 85
Shadow. 86 86
And let's just make the size... 87 87
that size there, that looks nice. 88 88
That looks nice, okay, good. 89 89
Good, okay. 90 90
And I'm gonna make the transparency a little bit less. 91 91
Or a little bit more I should say. 92 92
Okay, that looks great. 93 93
Okay cool. 94 94
All right, next step is what we're gonna do is 95 95
we are going to export this, 96 96
so we can upload it to YouTube. 97 97
And the size of the image is gonna be a little bit bigger 98 98
than the last time we used PowerPoint 99 99
in the previous section because we have an image this time. 100 100
So what we do is we go up here to file, export. 101 101
And I like to use JPEG format 'cause it's a smaller size. 102 102
And I'll leave that defaulted, that 16 by nine. 103 103
That's the format we want for PowerPoint. 104 104
Then I'll call this, "Split screen JPG" 105 105
Hit enter. 106 106
It's gonna export it 107 107
and it'll tell us where it got exported. 108 108
So let me go 109 109
and open this file to make sure it looks good. 110 110
And to make sure it's less than 2MB. 111 111
Okay it's right here. 112 112
The size is, oh my God, we're totally fine. 113 113
133KB's, I like to keep it small as well 114 114
because sometimes what I do is 115 115
I include it in my weekly email to students, this image 116 116
and I want it to be small file size for the email. 117 117
Okay and let's blow this up, 118 118
and that looks good, that looks good. 119 119
If this was a photo on this side, 120 120
what we could do is we would actually 121 121
probably make it a larger file size to get better resolution 122 122
this is just an image 123 123
and if we wanted to be absolutely perfect 124 124
we could have just basically taken this 125 125
and dragged it over slightly 126 126
so it's evenly matched on both sides 127 127
but that's good enough for this demonstration. 128 128
So as always all the files will be included 129 129
and attached to this current lecture 130 130
and if you have additional questions, 131 131
please let me know, thanks.
