vertical spacing for itemize environment with powerdot

Question

I'm trying to increase the vertical spacing in an itemize environment with the powerdot class. According to the powerdot documentation this is achieved by changing some parameters values in the \pdsetup{} command, I have tried but my code does not change anything:

\documentclass[
    size=12pt,
    paper=screen,
    mode=present,
    display=slidesnotes,
    nohandoutpagebreaks,
    pauseslide,
    fleqn
    ]{powerdot}

\begin{document}

\pdsetup{
    itemize={labelsep=10cm,leftmargin=*,itemsep=10cm,topsep=10cm,parsep=10cm}
}

\begin{slide}{title of the slide}  
\begin{itemize}
\item  Hello 

\item Hello
\end{itemize}
\end{slide} 

\end{document}

Answer 1

Try \pdsetup before \begin{document}.

Answer 2

you can also use it this way for local changes:

\begin{itemize}[][labelsep=1cm,leftmargin=*,itemsep=1cm,topsep=1cm,parsep=1cm]
\item  Hello 

\item Hello
\end{itemize}

the first [] is for Powerdot options and a second [] for package enumitem
