Update: Here’s how to change the picture format from .png to .tiff

I made this presentation for class, but I recently needed to use it to refresh my memory.

Lo and behold, Dropbox now renders all saved PowerPoint files as empty presentations, and its workaround doesn’t work. You have to go in and download the presentations individually.

Since the entire point of Dropbox is to be able to access your files on every computer when you want to, this seems a massive failure to me. (Update: You can save individual folders by right-clicking on the folder in Finder and choosing “Make Available Offline.”)

But here’s how to make clips for classroom use using VLC Player (below). Remember, this is just my experience; you might have a better way, and I’d welcome hearing about it. I’m posting this in case it would help you as it has helped me.
