Video Correction Adjustments

Sometimes when you insert a video clip on your slide within PowerPoint 2016, it may appear too dark or light. Luckily, adjustments can be made to any of the video clips you insert within your PowerPoint slides. These kinds of adjustments may be not only necessary for the appearance of the video clips on your computer, but also for how they show when projected onto a screen or even on a connected TV.

Video Recolor Options

Sometimes, the original look of the inserted video may not work well with the color palette of your presentation. In such situations, you could play around with the brightness and contrast for an inserted video by using the Corrections option. Additionally, you can also completely recolor your inserted video. Further, you can make your full-color video appear as a grayscale video, or even like a duotone video such as blue and grayscale. Do remember that the video Color options work almost similar to the Color options for the pictures.

Set as Default Version

At times, you may want to change your default version of PowerPoint. This decision can be important for you if you have multiple versions of PowerPoint installed on your system. Typically the last version installed is the default version, but there are other ways to change the defaults, and all of them do not work all the time! Let us explore some options if you want to set PowerPoint 2016 as your default version.

Video Styles

Similar to Shape Styles that you apply to shapes, PowerPoint provides you with Video Styles for your inserted video clips. These pre-built Video Styles add edges, shapes, and effects to videos, and apply with just a single click. Your videos no longer need to be rectangular. Some of the Video Styles make the video clip to play within an oval or a rounded rectangle. Video Styles also transform the look of your inserted videos by applying borders, 3-D effects, shadows, frames, etc. around your video clip.
