Question

Which of the following multimedia actions cannot be performed directly in PowerPoint?

• A. Trim the beginning and end of a video
• B. Add multiple bookmarks within a video for navigation
• C. Apply artistic filters (like blur or glow) to video
• D. Change video playback speed

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Change video playback speed

• While PowerPoint allows for inserting and playing videos, its built-in editing features are limited compared to dedicated video editing software.

• Users can trim videos to shorten their duration, fade videos in or out, and apply basic corrections like brightness and contrast.

• PowerPoint also supports setting bookmarks for specific points in a video and choosing playback options such as auto-start or start on click.

• However, advanced video manipulation features like changing the playback speed (e.g., slow-motion or fast-forward) are not directly available within PowerPoint.
