The questions cover sections 3.1 to 3.5.
Objective: 80% before moving to the next level.

3.1 · Recall

1. What transition grammar for 30 slides?

Fade 0.5 s everywhere + one marked for sections, no sound A different one per slide Only Cubes 2 s No transition

Fade = invisible continuity, one marked = punctuation of the sections: coherence creates elegance.

3.1 · Application

2. The public remembers the Cube effect but not the idea. Diagnosis?

Very good Spectacular transitions that steal attention from the subject Not enough effects Slides too sober

We must remember the idea, never the effect: if we notice the transitions, there are too many.

3.2 · Application

3. A list of which the public reads the end in advance. What to adjust?

Show everything at once Smaller font Appear by paragraph + previous ones dimmed, on click Delete list

Reveal point by point (click), blur the past: the public follows instead of spoiling.

3.2 · Application

4. Which is a professional reference animation?

Rebound Whirlwind + sound Acrobatic trajectory Appear / Fade

Appear, Fade, Fade: if the animation delays understanding, we delete it.

3.2 · Application

5. “With the previous one” on 10 animations in a row: result?

Beautiful sequencing An uncontrollable machine gun: everything goes off at once Nothing happens A quiz

“With” synchronizes, “After” continues, “On the click” rhythm: all-at-the-same-time = chaos.

3.3 · Application

6. A “click the correct answer” quiz: what mechanics?

A simple hyperlink Impossible Feedback animation + Trigger “when you click on” the correct answer A video

The trigger makes the slide react to clicking on an object: the presentation responds.

3.3 · Application

7. Touchscreen reception terminal without instructions. What should the buttons be?

Invisible Lower case letters Random Visible, named by the action (“Return to summary”), tested by a discoverer

In standalone, everything should be obvious: 3 seconds of hesitation = button to be redone.

3.4 · Recall

8. YouTube video to project in a room without a reliable network. What to do?

Incorporate a trimmed H.264 MP4 + subtitles, tested in theaters Rely on room wifi Link desktop file Tell it without an image

Incorporate (not link), safe formats, plan B (capture + keywords): the room is unforgiving.

3.4 · Application

9. Link vs. embed media: what to choose for broadcast?

Linking is lighter Both the same Incorporate: the connection breaks as soon as the file moves None

The connection points out a path that will not exist elsewhere: in diffusion, we always incorporate.

3.5 · Judgment

10. 15 minute presentation, 12 slides. How to calibrate?

Speed up the voice at the end Add slides Improvise Check timing out loud, 1-2 min per slide, cut if exceeded

The timing records real time: if it exceeds, we cut slides, we don't accelerate.

3.5 · Judgment

11. Notes vs slides: where does the speech live?

In the notes (the audience sees the slide, you read the notes as presenter) On the slides, in small Nowhere On paper only

The slide remains light because the speech is elsewhere: notes + presenter mode.

3.5 · Judgment

12. Which one is NOT part of the presenting cockpit?

The next slide The news feed Notes The timer

Next + notes + timer + tools: everything you need to talk without the public seeing behind the scenes.

3.1 · Recall

13. Which transition is suitable for a sober professional presentation?

A bounce with sound on every slide A systematic 3D rotation No transition, even between parts A short and discreet fade

The short fade marks the change without distracting; spectacular effects tire and delay the message.

3.5 · Judgment

14. Where does Amel place the detailed speech that she does not want to project?

In a 10 pt text block on the slide In slide title In the speaker's notes In a comment visible to the public

Speaker notes remain in presenter mode; they are not shown to the public.

What's next?

Reread the key points from level 3 before moving on to level 4.
