Most people make them in Powerpoint, as far as I know. Powerpoint makes me want to tear my hair out, because you don't have proper control over type etc., so I use Adobe. Not sure how you would do it in MSWord though, that is even worse than Powerpoint.

I use Canva.com, Steven Gibson. It's easy to use. I know people also use Powerpoint, Microsoft Word, and Keynote.

I use Google Drive slides, kind of like powerpoint but I've found it fairly easy. Just a cover example.

Yeah, I recommend including imagery or art, Jai Cullen. A pitch deck is a visual pitching tool. It has some text, but most of the text should go in the series bible or treatment. And a pitch deck shouldn't take long to read. TV pitch decks are usually longer than feature pitch decks. I try to keep feature pitch decks between 10-16 pages and TV pitch decks between 15-25 pages, but my pitch decks don't take long to read because most of the pages have visuals.
You can add pictures of actors you want to play the roles. Just add a note on each character page saying something like "Dream Actor: Russell Crowe," "Desired Actor: Russell Crowe," "Russell Crowe isn't attached to this project," etc. Or you could use stock photos that look like your characters.
I definitely add movie stills to pitch decks. A lot of people do.

Oh sorry, Jai Cullen. I misread your comment. I thought you were asking about pitch decks. Yeah, I recommend including imagery or art, pictures of actors you want to play the roles (or stock photos that look like your characters), and movie/show stills in your series bible.
It's hard to find pitch decks online. I can email you some of mines if you want. I can also email you one of my treatments and a series bible for my kids' show. Storytelling200@gmail.com.
You're welcome, Jai Cullen. I just sent you two emails.

You can work PPT, and 'save as' PDF as well.

PowerPoint give you a lot more creative options when putting your final deck together. Pitch bibles tend to be more text based.
