I followed all the steps just to realize that I don't have the option to save the GIF as an animated GIF. 😀

Genius!

I am trying to write VBA code to export slide as gif. If you already have it please share.

Is this works only in office 365..what will do if office 2013, or 2016

Awesome stuff!!! Thank you so much 🙂

Nice explan

Excellent Kevin. Thank you very much for your help.

Do we have to keep the duplicate slides?

I absolutely love your videos but your pronunciation of GIF is highly suspect.

perfect thank you

we still don't know how you made the gif in your video thumbnail

this was so useful!!!! ty

Flippen great thx

I'll have to play with this a bit. I assume there is a way to have the GIF to just play once.

*May the Lord OPEN!!

Muplup could have done this video in 30 seconds.

I really nice and well explained
Thanks a lot

I'm trying to make a selfie close-up work as a gif … but when I crop in on 'just my face, I get a vertical rectangle inside a horizontal rectangle, and it's way wider than I want it (with color on either side of my face). Is there a way to dial it in so it's 'just the face' in a vertical rectangle?

Could you show us animated tic tac toe to use in the classroom? Thanks.

What a flow of thought, great presenter, Thanks Kevin

Brillant video, but maybe you could explain saving for mac in future videos as its so frustrating being a mac user, nothing is ever the same when saving. Thanks.

I don't have animated GIF format in my powerpoint 2016 .. it only has a gif formate. which is just one picture

Thank u for every video. Your videos really helps me personally alot.

Kevin cookie sucks!

Thanks very much Kevin

You're indeed a life saver.

Dear…jump straight to the point…

Hello Kevin. I did not find save a copy option in my file options. I saw save as and I did not find Animated GIF option rather I saw "GIF Graphics Interchange Format (*.gif). Am I doing anything wrong? although I was able to save it as a video in MPEG-4 video (*.wmv). please help anyone??

Nice!

Hi Kevin, I have truly learnt many applications using your Videos. thankyou… I have one question here, I don't have the option save as animated Gif… Can you please guide me.

HI! This is fabulous, but apparently it doesn't work on my desktop version of PPT (saves each slide separately). *sigh. I'll have to find another way. BUT, how did you get the fabulous blue circle on your mouse pointer? I haven't been able to find a way to do that with my Win10 laptop. Thank you for the video.
