First, you'll want to open Windows Movie Maker, if your computer does not have this program, download it and come back to this step. It is very important that you download the program from their official site and not some scam with viruses; for example softonic (<----DO NOT USE THIS)

Once you are in movie maker, insert any desired picture or groups of pictures that you wish to distort or change their color as a gradient.

Select as many desired images or repeat the same one until you reach the time that you want. Now click on visual effects and find the Hue option. If you have many pictures, you will have to click on this on every one of them.

If you want a distortion effect, you could choose from Warp and 3D ripple. These two are different, experiment and find the one you like.

Now that you want to save your finished product, you must first go back to the home tab, localize the share portion in it and click the down arrow in save movie. Save the movie in any format for your favorite websites.

The video will start to render and when its over you can view your changes to the pictures. Add music in the background for a better effect or speed up the picture!

How to insert a video on Microsoft Power Point

Have you ever had the need of an extra aid in your power point presentations, an instructional or an extra element that completes it such as a video? Well fear no more, even if you were not afraid that it was not possible; the solution is here.

First, open Microsoft power point. Click on archive.

Then click on the options tab and this will pop up. Once there, click the quick access, click the downward arrow and look for developer tab.

Onc1e you have done that, you will want to look for something that looks like this.

Click on it and click add, now hit accept and close it.

Now that we have completed that, click that new icon on the upper left corner next to the presentation Icon and look for shockwave flash object.

Now lets travel to youtube, find the video that your powerpoint needs and follow this quick process. I will be using a comedy video as an example. Click on the videos url and delete "watch?" and delete the [=] that follows a letter [v] afterwards. Replace the equal sign with [/]

Now the address should look like this [https://www.youtube.com/v/15nNY7uofNw]

This new address leads us to our last and final step before you can enjoy the video in your presentation. Go back to Power Point and right click the shockwave flash object and click properties.

 

Now, paste your new address in the green square next to movie and close up properties. Start your presentation and you should be able to watch the video. Now you can really bring life to boring presentations and give them a spark of life.

How to create a gif

A gif is essentially a moving image, short for Graphics Interchange Format. Gifs are looped images that change quickly to make an animation. One could grab the image of a face and slowly zoom in until the effect that is wanted is achieved. Here is an example of one that I made

It might look choppy, but the more time you take with each frame will make the image look smoother. The image you see moving is divided into many frames, one is the normal stance of the smirking face, the next one is the right eyebrow being raised, and the last one is the left eyebrow being raised.
Gifs have no limitations as to what you want to make, but it might not always wrap up as you would like. Start with something simple, and image with one color for the background and one color for any other aspect on it.

For example, you could use this image.

It is a funny expression, but as you can see it has many color schemes and you might find it difficult pairing it with another image or situation. For this case, we will stick to the simple smirk face. I will walk you through the process. You can use any image you want and animate it as you wish.

First, lets go to websites that will do the process for us, like this handy site.
Once you are at this page you will want to click any of the 5 options to make your gifs from, for this occasion we will stick with images

Once we reach this screen, you will want to click this button

It will bring up a document explorer and here you can choose the images that will be part of your gif.

Once you add your images and arrange them in the sequence that you'd like, hit continue

Choose your delay between pictures and hit create gif

Once done, click the download button and create some funny reactions.

And finally, here is our finished product.
