What Can Multimedia Do for You?

Last week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Microsoft set up a few booths on the floor to demo Office 2010 informally. I am very happy to hear that we engineers aren’t the only ones excited about the new multimedia features!

When I joined the team a year and a half ago, it didn’t take me very long to realize how much better my life would be now that I can embed, trim, and export videos all from within PowerPoint. After a little experimentation, I found that I can also present video material in a way that was previously impractical without spending a long time in complex, specialized software – I can now place two or more videos side-by-side so that they play the same time. By applying three-dimensional effects, reflections, and other correctional effects, I can set them up to look absolutely amazing.

Slowly but surely, with the release of the technical preview and public beta, others are starting to see just how great these tools are. Here is a clip of one CES attendee’s reaction to the new video features:

Whether you’ve snapped a few videos with your digital camera that you’d like to share with your family or you’ve got important video clips displaying a product in action for your sales pitch, you can now show them all in the best possible light using PowerPoint 2010. Download the beta today and try for yourself!
