How to Make Videos with PowerPoint?

Public speaking is an art, and like with any other type of live performance,
each segment of your presentation must be carefully chosen. Writing down
the core ideas of the topic you’re presenting will make those ideas more
accessible to the audience. Microsoft PowerPoint is probably the best
presentation software ever created because it grants you complete control
over each segment of your presentation. You can choose a font’s color and
size, import images or set the duration of each slide. Even though versions of
PowerPoint released prior to PowerPoint 2010 allowed its users to use videos
in their presentations, creating video files with this presentation software only
became possible after PowerPoint 2010 was launched. So, in this article, we
are going to take you through all the steps of creating a video in Microsoft
PowerPoint.

 
The All-in-One Screen Recorder & Video Editor

 Record desktop screen, voiceover, and webcam simultaneously


 Edit recorded clips quickly with a wide range of professional tools
 Built-in plentiful templates and effects
 Export to MP4, MOV, MKV, GIF and multiple formats

Why Convert a PowerPoint Presentation into a Video?


Making a strong impression on the audience during a presentation is
paramount as you have just a short time window to capture their attention.
That’s why changing slides can be a bit complicated in certain settings, and
instead of changing them manually, you can record narration and create your
own video. In this manner, you can prearrange every segment of your
presentation and allocate an appropriate amount of time to it.

Saving your PowerPoint presentations as videos can also help you solve a
number of technical issues, in case a computer you’re using for the
presentation doesn’t have PowerPoint or if the device doesn’t support PPT or
PPTX files. Moreover, converting a presentation to a video can spare you the
trouble of editing an entire video in a professional video editor like FCPX or
Adobe Premiere Pro.

How to Make Videos in PowerPoint?


The process of making a video presentation with PowerPoint is somewhat
similar to the process of editing a video, but instead of video clips, you’re
working with slides. Here’s how you can prepare a video presentation in
PowerPoint:

Animating Slides

In order to avoid creating a static video, you can use PowerPoint’s animation
features to introduce graphic elements. Designing the slides so that they fit
the dynamic nature of the video medium is of utmost importance because
most business presentations have a tendency to be stagnant. PowerPoint lets
you animate text and objects or add transitions between slides, which
enables you to create a visually compelling presentation.

Adding Music or Narration

Combining sound with slides you create can help you convey important
information or create a nice atmosphere in a video. In order to add an audio
file to a slide, you have to click on the Insert tab, and then select the Audio
option. Keep in mind that the labels of these options may not be the same on
different versions PowerPoint. After clicking on the Audio setting, you should
drag the Sound icon off the slide, and then go to the Animations tab and
open the Animation Panel. Drag and drop the audio file to the Animation
panel and then activate the Start with Previous option. However, if you opt
for this method of adding animations to your presentations you will have to
use the Start with Previous option for all animations you want to add to a
presentation.

Besides adding audio files to slides, PowerPoint also lets you record


narration, which can be quite useful if you are creating online tutorials and
various other types of video presentations. Select the first slide in the
presentation and then go to the Slideshow tab and select the Record
Slideshow option. Click on the Start Recording from the Beginning and
when the Record Slide Show dialogue box pops out on the screen, you
should click on the Start Recording button while leaving Slide and
Animation Timings and Narrations, Ink and Laser Pointer checkboxes
marked. Proceed to record the narration, but keep in mind that you have to
change slides manually. Before you export a video you can readjust the
timings or record a new voiceover for your presentation from the Create a
Video submenu, that is located in the Export menu.

Setting the Slide Timings and Adding Bookmarks

PowerPoint lets sync animations with audio and video files by setting
bookmarks and it allows you to define precisely how long each slide is going
to be on screen. Go to the Timmings section of the Transitions tab, and then
click on the Advanced Slide feature. Mark the After check box and insert the
new value to set the new duration for a selected slide. You can change the
duration of slide effortlessly, even after you’ve recorded the narration, so you
can fine-tune this setting before you save the presentation as a video file.

Exporting a Video

Click on the File menu, select the Export option, and then proceed to choose
one of the settings featured in the Presentation Quality drop-down menu. If
the Use Recorded Timings and Narrations option is selected the slides will
be shown for the same length of time on the screen, and you’ll be able to
change their duration by inserting a new value into the Seconds Spent on
Each Slide box.

Optionally, you can click on Record Timings and Narration feature to record


a new voice over or to alter the duration of slides in the presentation. You can
use The Preview Timings and Narration option if you want to ensure that
the narration and timings are perfectly set.

Click on the Create Video icon and use the Save As window to change the


file name, choose the location on your hard drive where the video will be
saved or select the MP4 or WMW file formats. 

Uploading a PowerPoint Presentation to YouTube

After the video file, you created is exported you may want to share it on
YouTube or any other online video sharing platform. PowerPoint doesn’t offer
the option to upload videos to your social media accounts, which is the reason
why you have to upload your video presentation directly to your YouTube
channel. You just have to log in to your account on YouTube, click on the
Create a Video or Post icon and select the Upload a Video option from the
drop-down menu. Follow this link to learn more about different methods of
uploading videos to YouTube.

Conclusion

Even though video and audio editing tools Microsoft PowerPoint offers are far
less powerful than those provided by professional video editing apps, you can
still use it to create captivating video presentations. The process of saving a
presentation as video in PowerPoint is simple, but learning how to effectively
use animations and transitions or record narration may take some practice. Do
