4short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is inserting media?Show answer
You add media with the Insert option: a picture from a file, an audio clip, or a video. Once inserted, the item sits on the slide and can be moved, resized and ordered. Media should support the message, for example a photo of the topic or a short clip that shows something words cannot.
What is resizing without distortion?Show answer
When you resize an image, keep its proportions (its aspect ratio). The rule is to drag a corner handle, not a side handle. A corner handle changes the width and height by the same amount, so the picture stays in proportion. Dragging a side handle stretches only one direction, so people look too thin or too wide (the image is distorted).
What are crediting sources?Show answer
If you use an image, clip or video you did not make, credit the source. This respects the creator's copyright and is honest about where it came from, which is good digital citizenship. Prefer images you are allowed to use, such as those with a licence that permits reuse, and add a short credit line.
What are huge files?Show answer
Big images and videos make the deck slow and hard to share. Compress images and use sensible video clips.
