Aspect Ratio/Lenses/Framing (The dimensions of the frame, such as 2.39:1 or 16:9, which influence how space is used and the audience's visual experience.Plus choice of lens and its focal length, affecting depth of field, perspective, and how subjects are isolated or integrated into the scene. This can include Framing/Composition too.)

Create a Theme
View > Theme Builder
Make themes for each slide you will have in your presentation, use the text placeholder and the image placeholder. This will make it so that all of your images and text are in the same exact place in each slide. If you need to change the crop of any of the images you can double click the image, move it up and down, or you can extend the crop higher and lower.
Using Gifs
Gifs must be smaller than 50mb, which means your clips must be fairly short. To make them under 50mb, you can adjust resolution, length of clip, and total colors.
Using Clips from Films
Screen recording on streaming services is disabled due to DRM's, but most movies can be found by searching google for watch "Movie name" free online. You can then download this movie, put it into your editing software, and then export gifs from this file.
