Why Make Your PowerPoint Into a Video ?

PowerPoint isn't marketed as a video tool. There are many advanced video tools out there like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro X. With all of these options, you might be wondering why you would use PowerPoint to create a video file.

Here are four great reasons to use PowerPoint to create video presentations:

• The device you want to show your PowerPoint file on doesn't support PowerPoint files (think Smart TV's or handheld game consoles).
• You already have a finished PowerPoint presentation and don't have the time to recreate it from scratch in a video editor.
• Your recipient doesn't have PowerPoint installed on their device, but can open it in a standard video player app.
• You don't have the time to learn a new piece of video editing software to create a presentation video.

How to Quickly Convert Your PowerPoint to Video (Watch & Learn)

Let's walk through how to convert a PowerPoint (PPT) file into a video. In the quick, two minute screencast below, you can watch me cover the process step-by-step:

Keep scrolling to see more tips for making videos with PowerPoint, including compression tips that weren't mentioned in the video.

How to Export Your PowerPoint to Video

Start off by opening your PowerPoint presentation. Exporting a PowerPoint presentation to a video file should be the last step of your process. This is because you'll need to convert the PowerPoint presentation to video each time you make changes.

As I mentioned earlier, PowerPoint will export animations and transitions when you export the file as a video. 

To begin the export, go to the  File > Export > Create a Video  menu option.

From this menu, there are several key settings to choose before you export your finished video. The dropdown boxes on the right side control the quality and timing of your presentation.

Here are the key choices you'll need to make before converting your PowerPoint to video:

1. Set PowerPoint Video Quality

Choose a quality setting from the dropdown to find the sweet spot between file size and video quality.

The better the quality setting you choose, the larger the finished file will be. If you're going to upload the video online to a service like YouTube, it's fine to export at the highest quality and let them handle the compression.

If you're sharing this video with a colleague via email or posting it on your own server, a smaller file size might be the right choice. Here are my recommendations for when to use each of the settings:

• Presentation Quality.  When keeping the file size small is no object, use Presentation Quality. It will render a video that looks extremely close to your original presentation alongside a large file.
• Internet Quality. This is ideal if you want to upload quickly to a social service like Facebook or Twitter. Using Internet Quality is a good middle ground between file size and clarity.
• Low Quality. This is the right choice when you're trying to save space, such as when you'll attach a video to an email.

Choose a quality setting from the dropdown option to make your selection.

2. Control PowerPoint Slide Timings

Now, you need to set timings,  the runtime for each slide in your video. There are two options for timings on the dropdown menu:

• Don't use Recorded Timings and Narrations. Simply set a length of time for each slide to show in the video, such as 5 seconds each.
• Use Recorded Timings and Narrations. Setup specific lengths of time for each slide to show, and optionally record narrations for the video version.

Basically, these two options let you choose between setting specific timings or using the same runtime for each slide.

For this example, let's leave the option set to  Don't Use Recorded Timings and Narrations. 

When you choose this option, you'll need to set the  Seconds spent on each slide  option. This is how long each slide will show in the video version. The default is 5 seconds as you can see in the screenshot above.

3. Create Your PowerPoint Video

Finally, click on  Create Video. PowerPoint will open up a  Save As  window, and you'll need to set a folder and filename for your finished video.

You can also choose between an MPEG-4 video (.MP4 file) or Windows Media Video (.WMV) file when exporting, so choose the appropriate format if your device has any limitations. I typically leave this set to MP4.

How to Record Timings in PowerPoint

In the example above, we used the same amount of time spent on each slide (a flat 5 seconds in the example shown.) However, you can setup timings and narrations for your slide to customize how long each slide should show.

To setup timings and narrations, choose  Record Timings and Narrations  from the timings dropdown.

Then, a dropdown menu will appear. There are two options here:

• Slide and animation timings.  Leave this box checked to record the amount of time
• Narrations, ink, and laser pointer.  Leave this box checked if you want to record audio from your computer's default microphone.

Voiceovers are very helpful if you want to send a slide deck to a colleague and share your commentary while they watch the video.

Once you press  Start Recording,  PowerPoint will go into a fullscreen view of your presentation. Leave each slide on screen for the length of time it should show in the video. 

Basically, PowerPoint is recording a live version of your presentation. If you leave a slide on a screen for 10 seconds, it will appear for 10 seconds in the video version.

You can use the arrow keys to advance the slides and change slides. When you reach the end of the presentation, PowerPoint will exit to the menu.

Now, you can save your finished video presentation with your own timings and narrations. The finished video will use the same timings you used while rehearsing.

How to Convert PowerPoint to Video (Step-by-Step)

• PowerPoint Tutorials
• Shortcuts & Hacks
• October 22, 2019

In this article you’ll learn how to convert PowerPoint to video, and the different options you have.

While most people know how to use PowerPoint to present their products and services live, few people know how to turn a PowerPoint into a video that runs on its own.

And while that might sound complicated, it’s in fact pretty easy, as you will see below.

There are two different ways to turn your PowerPoint presentations into video, the first of which gives you the most options, as discussed below.

But before you start the conversion process, here are some thoughts about why you should consider doing it in the first place.

Why Convert PowerPoint to Video?

It keeps your presentation the way it was intended.

Exporting your presentation as a video keeps all elements safely locked in place. That way you can email it to your colleagues or clients without worrying that something will shift, or that timings be messed up.

Video is more accessible and shareable

While most people have PowerPoint on their computer, we shouldn’t assume that they do. Convert your PowerPoint to video and the receiver can open it even if they don’t have a Microsoft subscription. They will have to have a media player though!

It’s also easier to view videos on a mobile device, so busy clients can check out your presentation while on the move.

Furthermore, it’s also easier to share videos on multiple platforms. They can be posted to YouTube, on your company blog, and on social media and video sharing networks.

People love videos!

With more than 75 million people watching online videos every day across the United States alone, you know you’re onto a good thing. According to marketing gurus, just mentioning the word ‘video’ in the subject line of an email increases the click-through rate by 19%. 

We human beings naturally love a good story because it conveys a message on an emotional level; and videos are very effective for storytelling, especially in contrast to written text or even images.

Since people’s decision-making process is often based on emotions, turning your presentation into a video can be very convincing.

What is an MP4?

MP4 is short for MPEG-4 Video, and is a universal video format that plays on any device.

When converting PowerPoint to video, you can choose between the  MPEG-4   Video  ​ ​​ file format (MP4) or the  Windows Media Video  file format (WMV), as discussed below.

The two main advantages of MP4 for your videos are:

• It’s a pre-compressed and compact file type format (so it’s small)
• It plays on just about any device

When converting PowerPoint to video, I highly recommend using the MP4 format unless you have a specific reason not to.

To learn more of the advantages of the MP4 format, see this Quora thread  here .

Option #1. Convert PowerPoint to video

To convert your PowerPoint presentation into a video, simply:

• Click the  File  tab
• Select  Export
• ​​ Select  Create Video ​​
• Choose your  Video Quality  ​ and  Recorded Timings and Narrations  (see details below)
• Click  Create Video

Choose where to save the video on your computer and click  Save .

As a result, your PowerPoint presentation is converted into video, based on the  Recorded Timings and Narrations  you selected, or the preset seconds per slide you set (all discussed below).

You can even add music and loop it throughout your video if you want to. To learn how to add music to PowerPoint,  read our guide here .

Video quality

Video quality determines not only the quality of your video output, but also how large the video file will be, as you can see in the image below.

For most situations, the  Full HD (1080p)  is a great choice.

That said, if you are showing your video on a large overhead projector and size isn’t an issue, you can improve the quality of your video by using the  Ultra HD (4K)  format.

Below you can see the different video quality options you have in the  Create a Video  dialog box.

If file size is an issue or you are just showing your video on a smaller laptop screen, you can save a lot of space with the  HD (720p)  or  HD (480p)  formats.

HD (720p)  is supported on most websites and video platforms such as YouTube and Facebook. The  HD (480p )  option is the best option for mobile devices.

Setting recorded timings and narrations

Recorded Timings and Narrations are important when converting PowerPoint to video as they not only dictate how long your video will be, but determine when things happen in your presentation.

There are a variety of ways you can set yourRecorded Timings or Narrations (all detailed below), but in short, your options are:

• Automatically set how many seconds you want per slide
• Set your own  Rehearsal Timings  (no audio or video) by clicking through your presentation
• Narrate your PowerPoint with voice and/or video, which automatically sets the slide timings for you

If you use the  Record Slide Show  dialog box to narrate your entire presentation, you can simply use the  Save As  dialog box (discussed next) to save your PowerPoint as a video, as your narrations will take care of everything in your video.

To learn everything you need to know about narrating a PowerPoint presentation,  read our guide here .

Properly using PowerPoint animations

If you have animated sequences in your presentation and are going to use a pre-set number of seconds per slide, I recommend setting all your animations to  After Previous.

To set an animation to trigger automatically as your slide changes, simply:

• Select  your animated object
• Open the  Animations  tab
• Open the  Start  drop down
• Select  After Previous

This ensures that your animations will trigger after the previous action, whether that is an animation or advancing to the next slide.

If you leave your animations set to  On Click , they can add a delay of as much as 10 seconds to your video. This is especially if you are using the second conversion method (see the section below here on saving PowerPoint as a video).

Option #2. Save PowerPoint as Video

The fastest way to convert your PowerPoint presentations into a video format, is to use the  Save As dialog box.

This works best when you have narrated your PowerPoint presentation using the  Record Slide Show  dialog box, and just want the  Full HD (1080p)  quality for your video.

​That’s because all of your slide timings, actions and animated sequences are saved within your narration, so all PowerPoint then has to do is save itself as a video using the default settings.

If you are not narrating your presentation, then I recommend using the first method discussed above.

To save your presentation as a video from inside PowerPoint, simply:

• Hit  F12  or  Ctrl + Shift + S  to open the Save As dialog box
• Choose a location to save your video
• Change the file type to either  MPEG-4 Video  (recommended) or  Windows Media Video
• Click  Save

Depending on the size of your presentation, it might take a minute or two to save your presentation as a video, so just hang tight.

When it is finished, your PowerPoint will be saved as a video in the  Full HD (1080p)  format. If you want a different video quality, you will need to use the  Create a Video  dialog box (see the first method discussed above).

After you save your presentation as a video, you can then embed it in other presentation if you want to. To learn how to embed a video in PowerPoint,  read our guide here .

Note:  I highly recommend saving your presentation in the  MPEG-4 (MP4)  file format as it is more universally accepted than the  Windows Media Video (WMV)  file format.

How to Record and Set Timings for Your Video

When converting PowerPoint to video, the timings not only determine the length of your video, they also determine the timing in which your animated sequences are triggered.

If you have a lot of animated sequences in your presentation, I don’t recommend using a set number of seconds per slide.

That’s because you can’t control the lag between the animated sequences and your content. Instead, I recommend using the  Rehearse Timings  command.

Here are the 4 different ways you can set and adjust slide timings for your presentation, from easiest to slowest.

1. Set a default number of seconds per slide

To use a standard number of seconds per slide for your slide timings, simply:

• Navigate to the  File  tab
• Click  Export
• Select  Create Video
• Set the number of seconds

The more seconds you set per slide, the longer your video will be in total.

2. Set transition timings to advance your slides

PowerPoint transitions are another great way to not only make flipping between your slides less abrupt, but also to automatically advance your slides.

Using the  Transitions  tab, you can both set a default number of seconds for all of your slides, as well as adjust the time spent on individual slides.

For example, to set a Fade transition and slide timings of 3 seconds per slide, simply:

• Navigate to the  Transitions  tab
• Click the  Fade  transition
• Under the  Effect Options , choose  Through Black
• Deselect  On Mouse Click
• For  After , input  3 seconds  (and make sure there is a check mark ​next to  After )
• Click  Apply to All

As a result, all the slides in your presentation will now have a Fade transition and will automatically advance after 3 seconds.

You can also adjust the duration of the transitions between your slides if you want to get specific, but I think the default is usually fine.

3. Use the Rehearse Timings command

If you want to control the flow of your timings by manually clicking through your presentation, you can use the  Rehearse Timings  command.

To set your slide timings with the  Rehearse Timings  command, simply:

• Navigate to the  Slide Show  tab
• Click the  Rehearse Timings  command
• Use the  Rehearse Timings  dialog box to click through your presentation
• When you are finished, click  Yes  to save the slide timings

Here is a quick run through of the commands on the  Rehearse Timings  dialog box.

Clicking  Repeat  starts the rehearsal timing over for the current slide you are on. That means you can restart the timing without having to start the presentation over from scratch.

4. Use the Record Slide Show command

The  Record Slide Show  command is the NEWEST and best way to add audio and video narrations to your presentations.

The advantage of using this tool to narrate your PowerPoint presentation, is that all of your slide timings, animations and actions are recorded for each slide.

That means you can simply use the  Save As  dialog box to quickly convert your narrated PowerPoint into a video.

To use the  Record Slide Show  command to narrate your presentation from the beginning, simply:

• Navigate to  Slide Show  tab
• Open the  Record Slide Show  drop down
• Select  Record from Beginning

To learn how to use the  Record Slide Show  command to narrate your PowerPoint (and all the options you have), read our guide here.

Note:  If you just click the  Record Slide Show  button (instead of opening the drop down), you will begin recording your narration from your current slide.

So that’s how to turn PowerPoint into a video, either by exporting your video using the  Create a Video  command, or by saving your PowerPoint presentation as a video using the  Save As  dialog box.

If you narrate you presentation using the  Record Slide Show  command, the  Save As  dialog box is the fastest way to turn your presentation into a video.

And while PowerPoint gives you two different video file types to choose from, I recommend using the universal MP4 video file format. That’s because it ensures that your video will play on any device (computer, tablet, or phone) that people may have.

How to Convert PowerPoint to Video

Let your presentation speak for itself

What to Know

• Windows: Select File > Export > Create a Video . Choose video quality, timings/narrations, seconds per slide > Create Video . Select file type.
• Mac: Select File > Export . Choose file format, video quality, timings/narrations, and seconds per slide, then choose Export .

PowerPoint decks are great tools for showcasing and presenting a message, product, or data visualization, as viewers are more likely to digest content when it's in video format. Here's how to turn a PowerPoint into a video using PowerPoint for Microsoft 365, PowerPoint 2019, PowerPoint 2016, PowerPoint 2013, PowerPoint 2010, and PowerPoint for Mac.

How to Save PowerPoint as Video on Windows

After you create a presentation, convert your slides into attention-grabbing videos. The steps below show how to turn a PowerPoint file into a video. The result is a file that incorporates animation, narration, and other custom content included in the original PPT or PPTX file.

Follow these instructions to make a video from a PPT or PPTX file in PowerPoint on Windows operating systems:

Launch PowerPoint and open the presentation file you want to turn into a video. If that file is open, ensure that the latest version is saved by selecting File > Save or by selecting Save on the Quick Access Toolbar.

Select File > Export .

If you use PowerPoint 2010, select Save & Send .

Select Create a Video .

Choose the video quality you want to use for your video slideshow. A high-quality screen resolution results in a larger file size. A low-quality output results in a smaller file.

Specify whether or not to include recorded timings and narrations in the video. If the presentation contains timings or narrations, select Record Timings and Narrations . These narrations can include a thumbnail image of yourself, recorded on your webcam.

To specify the amount of time that each slide displays, enter the time in the Seconds spent on each slide text box.

After you make your choices, select Create Video .

In the Save As dialog box, choose a location to save your new video file and enter a filename.

Select the Save as type drop-down arrow and choose either MPEG-4 Video ( MP4 ) or Windows Media Video ( WMV ). Select Save to start the video creation process.

The progress of your video creation displays in the status bar. This may take a few minutes or up to several hours to complete, depending on the size and complexity of the video being created.

How to Save PowerPoint as Video on macOS

Follow these instructions to make a video from a PPT or PPTX file in PowerPoint for macOS.

This feature is available to Microsoft 365 subscribers who have the latest desktop version of PowerPoint.

Launch PowerPoint and open the presentation file that you want to turn into a video. If that file is open, ensure that the latest version is saved by selecting File > Save or by selecting Save from the Quick Access Toolbar.

A pop-out window appears that contains multiple options. In the File Format drop-down menu, select either MP4 or MOV .

Choose a video quality option. Those with the highest quality and screen resolutions (for example, Presentation Quality ) result in larger file sizes. A low-quality output creates a smaller file. This quality selection also dictates the video's width and height, shown below the Quality menu.

Choose whether or not to include recorded timings and narrations in the video. If available, select the Use Recorded Timings and Narrations check box to enable this content in your video.

To increase or decrease the timing for the slides, select the up or down arrow next to Seconds spent on each slide without a set timing . By default, a PowerPoint video spends five seconds on a slide before transitioning to the next slide.

Select Export .

How To Turn a Powerpoint Presentation Into a Video

The quick and easy was as well as expert tweaks

Powerpoint is a popular tool used to present and showcase a product or message. It comes with many layouts, themes, and tools to help you build professional presentations. What if you spend a lot of time creating a visually appealing and well laid-out presentation and you want to share it with someone who doesn’t have Microsoft Office?

The short answer is you can’t. However, if you turn it into a video it can be easily viewed by most people with an Internet connection. Another benefit of turning Powerpoint into a video is it is a great way to repurpose your content into another format. Video is quickly becoming a huge part of businesses’ digital marketing strategy.

Even though Powerpoint is not marketed as a video tool, and there are many video tools, apps, and platforms available, you might be thinking why should you use Powerpoint? 

A few good reasons are:

• As mentioned above, you can’t share your presentation with someone who doesn’t have Powerpoint installed on their computer.
• You have already spent a lot of time creating a fully automated Powerpoint presentation and don’t want to start from scratch with a video.
• Video creation is not in your arsenal of skills, and you don’t want to learn how to use a new tool.

The Quick & Easy Way

If your presentation is complete with automatic timings, transitions and animations, you might be shocked to learn how easy it is to convert it into a video.

• Open your Powerpoint presentation. 
• Click on File , select Save As , and from the drop-down menu, choose MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4). (available in Powerpoint 2010 and above).

Too easy? It actually is. But keep in mind this only works for presentations that are already completely set up and ready to show to viewers.

Use The Export Option

• Another way to convert to a video file is to click on File , choose Export , and click on Create a Video .

• There are a few options for you to select that will affect how your final video turns out. Start by selecting quality.

The choice you make will affect the clarity, resolution, and video file size. The higher the quality, the larger the file.

I generally use Full HD (1080p), but if you have a slow Internet upload speed or the file size is an issue, HD (720p) will also produce a high-res HD video.

Choose The Timings

The next option controls how long each slide stays on the screen or the timings of your video.  

• If you choose Don’t Use Recorded Timings and Narrations , each slide will be shown for the same amount of time. When you use this option, you can select the number of seconds you want each side to stay before moving onto the next one.

• Now let’s click Create Video and save your file to your computer.

• Find the location where you saved your video and play it. It will open in your default video player or app. The slides will play for the length of time you set above.
• You may wish to do this to allow viewers to read slides with longer text. This can be accomplished by choosing a different timing setting. Select Record Timings and Narrations.

• This option enables you to customize how long each slide lasts on the video and gives you the option to record a voiceover. If you want to record a voiceover, you have several options. To change your microphone, look under settings .

• You can also include a box of yourself recording the video by selecting the Camera option from the settings shown above.
• To start your voiceover, click on the red Record button. Powerpoint will give you a few seconds to get ready while it counts down 3, 2, 1.

• While you are recording your voice, your Powerpoint is also recording the timings. The amount of time you spend on each slide before moving to the next will set the timing.
• To move to the next slide, use the arrow keys. When you get to the end, “X” out of the recording screen. You will then be taken back to the settings page with the timings you recorded.
• Click on Create Video and save it to your computer. Each slide in your video will now last as long as it took you to talk about it when recording.  

How To Set Up Powerpoint Presentations With Transitions, Animations & Timings

If you would prefer to set the animations, timings, and transitions before creating the video, below are a few examples of how to do so. This way, you can use the quick and easy way to convert it into a video described above.

What Are Transitions?

Have you ever seen a Powerpoint presentation that does something flashy or catches your eye between slides? Those special effects are called transitions.

There are three categories of transitions you can choose to use in your presentation. They are:

• Subtle : Basic and simple movement from one slide to another.
• Exciting: More elaborate and more interesting than subtle.
• Dynamic: When used between two slides that are similar in layout, this transition will only move the placeholders, not the slides.

When applied in moderation, transitions can add a professional and visually appealing effect to your presentation.

If you use too many transitions, the results can be confusing, erratic, and distracting.

Apply a Transition

• Select the slide from the Slide Navigation panel where you want to apply the transition. This slide will appear after the transition you choose.
• Click on Transitions from the top navigation. Note that the default is None . Click on More or the down arrow to see all the available options.

When you click a transition, you will automatically see a preview of what it will look like if selected. You can either use the transition for a single slide or click Apply to All to use the same transition for all the slides in your presentation.

Customize The Direction Of The Transition

Each transition has different effect options. 

• To choose the one you want to use, click on Effect Options , select one, and watch Powerpoint automatically show you a preview of your selection.

Change The Duration Of a Transition

• Choose the slide you want to change the time for and look for the Duration field. In this example, the side is set to 01.00 .

• Let’s increase the time to .025 to make the transition a little slower. You can choose to set the duration for the selected slide only.
• Click Apply to All to use the same transition duration for all the slides.

Add Sound To The Transition

• Click on the dropdown menu next to Sound from the top bar navigation. Choose a sound, then preview it.

• To preview the sounds, from the top bar navigation click Slide Show and then From Current Slide .

How To Move To The Next Slide

If you are doing a live presentation in front of an audience, you usually would press the spacebar or click your mouse to advance to the next slide.

However, as we are converting the presentation to a video, you want to use the Advance Slides setting to automate the process.

• Now you want to remove (deselect) the checkmark next to On Mouse Click . In the After field, enter the amount of time you want the slide to be displayed before moving onto the next one. In the example above, the slide will last 00:03.36 .

Custom Animations

Animations in Powerpoint add motion to different elements in your presentation. The purpose is to draw attention to the key points, such as specific text, shapes, tables, images, and other objects.

Using animations in Powerpoint videos makes it more engaging and exciting to watch. Some of the types of motion you can add to your slides are:

• Changing the color or size of an image or text.
• Causing an image to appear or disappear.
• Moving an object around your slide.

Add An Animation

• Start by selecting an object to animate, click on Animations , and choose an option. If you don’t see the Animation Pane , click on it to open it.

• Now click on Effect Options and choose one. Different animations have different options.

To start an animation, click on the drop-down menu next to Start and choose from one of the options below:

• On Click will start the animation when you click a slide.
• With Previous will start the animation at the same time as the previous animation on the previous slide.
• After Previous will play it immediately after the previous animation completes.

Click on Duration to set how long you want the animation to last. If you want to add a delay before an animation starts, use the Delay option.

To add more effects, click on Add Animation and choose the one you want to use. If you want to change the order an animation appears on the slide, click on the animation marker.

• Choose Move Earlier or Move Later to change the order the animation appears in the sequence.

Add An Animation To a Group

• Press control on your keyboard and select the objects you want to include in the group. 
• Next click on Shape Format , then Group , and Group again.

• Then select Animations and choose the one you want to use.

Animate Text

• Highlight the text where you want to add an animation. 
• Click Add Animation and choose an option. You will see it in the Animation Panel on the right side.

• The next step is to click the drop-down menu next to the animation you just added. This is another place where you can decide when you want it to start. Choose from Start On Click , Start With Previous , or Start After Previous .
• Click the drop-down again next to the text animation, and this time select Effect Options.

Here is where you will set the direction, timing, and other specific animation options. 

There are a lot of special effects you can add to Powerpoint. With practice, you will be able to create an engaging presentation using automatic animations and transition timings.

Once you are finished completing the above steps, you can use the simple way described at the beginning of this content to turn a Powerpoint presentation into a video. In just a few minutes, you will have a compelling, engaging, and visually appealing video to share with others.

How To Convert a PowerPoint Presentation to a HD Video in 3 Steps

There are many reasons why you may consider converting a PowerPoint presentation to a High-Definition video ; for example if you want to share a presentation online through YouTube or Vimeo, create a self-running presentation or save the slide show video to a DVD.

In this article we will guide you on how to convert a PowerPoint presentations to a High Definition video (as an MP4 video file,Windows Media Video .wmv file or QuickTime Video File .mov) using Microsoft PowerPoint.

PowerPoint lets you save presentations as videos directly from the File > Save As dialog box; however if you need to choose the output video quality while saving the presentation then it is recommended to use the File > Export > Create a Video option.

High Definition (HD) or high-quality presentation uses a higher resolution (1280×720 or 1920×1080) to save the video information. It can improve the overall experience while watching a presentation online or playing a PowerPoint slideshow in a kiosk. It would be the preferred format if you plan to upload your video presentation to YouTube or Vimeo, and have higher quality. The main drawback is that the presentation video file size will be bigger and more bandwidth may be required.

Why You Should Convert a PowerPoint to a Video Format?

Converting a PowerPoint to a video format can have several advantages. From making intuitive videos to engaging your audience to address complex topics in just a few minutes.

Create a Video Slideshow

You can use the converted video file to create a video slideshow for display at an event or edit the content of the video to generate a video presentation.

Create Presentations and Tutorials

PowerPoint enables users to export their videos with voice-over narration and animations. This can help create extensive presentations for an audience

Use Professional Editing Software to Create Engaging Videos

Adding a voice-over, additional graphics, and some footage can help create a professional-looking presentation by using a video editing application. Similar to how you use Instagram tools to convert images into a stunning video, some famous video editing apps that can help you make the most out of your converted PowerPoint file to a video format include Adobe Premiere Pro, Camtasia Studio, iMovie, Final Cut Pro, etc. If you are a Windows user, you can look into alternatives to Final Cut Pro like Lightworks, Movavi Video Editor, and Shotcut.

Create a Video Instead of Using PowerPoint

You can convert PowerPoint to video by simply letting your slides play out, making the presentation easy to play for end users without the need to have PowerPoint installed. This approach can also be helpful if you intend to present your slides using a video player instead of PowerPoint, as the latter might not be available everywhere, whereas video players often come with all types of desktop and mobile operating systems.

Upload a Video Online

Many presenters also like to upload their presentations online for an audience. A teacher might be interested in making his/her presentation available for students, or an industry expert might wish to share a concept with others in the industry by uploading a video to a YouTube channel. Either way, converting your PowerPoint to a video can help make the content easily shareable via video streaming platforms like YouTube and Vimeo. Such a video can also be shared privately via file-sharing apps like Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc.

How To Convert PowerPoint to Video (Windows)

Step 1 – go to file > export.

The first step to save a PowerPoint presentation as a HD video go to File -> Export and then click Create a Video button.

Step 2 – Choose Video Resolution

Now, select a resolution to export your video. Other than the Standard (825×480) resolution, the high-definition resolution options include HD (Medium 1280×720), Full HD (Large 1920×1080), or Ultra HD 4K (Largest file size 1920×1080). If you are using an older version of PowerPoint, you might have limited options to select between HD resolutions, since versions older than PowerPoint 2013 only supported HD videos (1280×720).

Optional Step: Save Narrations, Laser Pointer Gestures & Recorded Timings in the Video Exported from PowerPoint

Aside from saving the PowerPoint presentation as an HD video, you can also save a video file that incorporates all the recorded timings during a rehearsal, narrations, and even laser pointer gestures.

In case you have recorded narrations for your slides, you can use them or select Record a Video option to instantly start narrating your slides. The Preview Timings and Narrations option in the same drop-down menu does what it says, it enables you to check and ensure that your narrations are correctly timed with your slides, so you can make necessary edits before finalizing your video.

Optional Step: Select Slide Duration

Choose the default time spent on each slide (in seconds) and whether to save the narrations, timings, and gestures. By default, 5.00 seconds are spent on each slide unless you have a different timing recorded for the presentation slideshow.

Step 3 – Select Video Format and Create a Video Presentation

Click Create Video button and choose the destination folder and output file name. For end users wondering how to convert ppt to MP4, this is the step where you can select MP4 as your output format. PowerPoint supports saving slide decks to MP4 or WMV video formats. Once you confirm, wait a few seconds in order for the file is being saved on your hard disk. Presentations with a lot of slides may require a longer wait time.

Something good about saving presentations as a video file is that all animations, transitions, and media are preserved.

How to Convert PowerPoint to Video (Mac)

How to Convert PPT to Video in Mac? If you’re wondering how to make a PowerPoint into a video on Mac, the steps are quite similar to how you would export PowerPoint to video on a PC, with a few minor differences.

To convert PowerPoint to video on Mac, go to File -> Export.

Step 2 – Choose Video Format

If you have been wondering how to save PowerPoint as MP4 on Mac, this is the step where you can pick a video file format to save your presentation as a video, including MP4 and MOV.

The difference between the PC and Mac during this step is the difference in the availability of video conversion options. The PC version, along with MP4, allows saving a video in the Windows Media Video (WMV) format, unlike Mac, which offers QuickTime video format (MOV) instead.

Step 3 – Select Video Resolution and Create Video

The new version of PowerPoint for Mac allows saving a presentation in HD (Medium 1280×720), Full HD (1920×1080), or Ultra HD 4K (1920×1080) format. The higher the resolution, the higher the file format, so make sure you have enough disk space to save a very heavy file, especially if you opt for Ultra HD 4K resolution.

Save Narrations, Laser Pointer Gestures & Recorded Timings (Optional)

To save narrations, recorded timings, and laser point gestures, select the Use Recorded Timings and Narrations option.

Select Slide Duration (Optional)

To precisely time how long each slide is presented in the video, select the time duration. The default duration is 5.00 seconds, unless you have specified time for each slide separately in the presentation.

Select Export to create your video. Depending on the resolution you have selected, it might take several minutes before the video is converted. Higher resolutions take more time to conversion.

Saving videos from PowerPoint can help you at the time you need to share a presentation slideshow online (for example, uploading it via YouTube or Vimeo, or any other online video platform ), but you can also use this technique to prepare a PowerPoint presentation for a kiosk, make interactive PowerPoint presentations or create a self-running presentation. PowerPoint presentations saved as videos can also be easily run from mobile devices without the need for PowerPoint to be installed on the device. If you wish to save your PowerPoint to video in a format easily accessible, you can opt for PowerPoint save as MP4 instead of using WMV or MOV file formats that are not supported by all types of video players.

Can’t believe no one has commended you for this helpful tutorial! We want to mount several TVs in the lobby and exam rooms of our veterinary hospital to run informational presentations for our clients about pet care, our services, and helpful products. Recording a PowerPoint as a video and then putting it on a USB thumb drive to connect to the TV seems like it will be an effective, inexpensive way to get that accomplished. Thank you so much!

I second the above comment. Thank You

how to present a power point presentation on a smart tv..and having it loop over to continuous display..keep running.

This was very helpful. I had no clue that this could be done. I dedicated a PC to running the Power Point presentation for our lobby. Having it run on the TV via USB will free up that resource for us.

I haven’t dug into it yet, but is there a way to make it loop?

I keep getting this audio data not supported. Is there anyway to remove this?

Well, in today’s post, we will share with you the top 10 best tools to convert PowerPoint to video. So, keep reading!

Part 1: Can You Turn A PowerPoint Into A Video?

The simple answer is: Yes!

Moreover, converting your PowerPoint presentation into a video will also allow you to preserve all your hard work, including animations, transitions, embedded videos, and even audio. You can also choose to add voice overs, background music, or interactive elements like quizzes at the time of converting the PPTs to videos.

While many tools can do the job, they vary greatly in features and capabilities. For context, a simple PPT to video converter might be enough for a quick slideshow-to-video transformation. However, if you’re looking for something more sophisticated, you’ll want to explore tools that offer advanced editing, interactive elements, or even AI-powered enhancements.

A popular choice among educators and corporate trainers, iSpring Suite seamlessly integrates with PowerPoint and allows users of any skill level to turn presentations into interactive e-learning courses.

Offering various output video formats, like MP4, AVI, and WMV — Leawo does give you basic flexibility when it comes to controlling aspects like codec, bit rate, frame rate, and resolution.

How to Convert An InDesign File to a PowerPoint Presentation

Adobe InDesign is one of the best software for creating graphic content. You can create amazing presentations and even showcase them as interactive PDFs.

However, PowerPoint is the most popular software for presentations and is still the easiest way to share your slides with an audience.

So, if for some reason or another, you want to change your presentation’s medium, here’s a quick guide on how to convert your InDesign presentation into a PowerPoint, and vice-versa.

In this article you’ll find:

• A step-by-step guide on how to export InDesign into PowerPoint for free
• A quick overview of how to use plug-ins to convert InDesign files to PowerPoint
• How to convert PowerPoint to InDesign

Are you ready? Then let’s go straight into how to convert InDesign to PowerPoint!

Can you export from InDesign to PowerPoint?

Yes, you can convert an InDesign file to a PowerPoint slide presentation! However, there’s no direct way to do it, meaning you’ll have to use other tools as an intermediary.

There are two main ways to export InDesign to PowerPoint: through a PDF editor or with the help of a plug-in that allows you to export your files.

Take into account that converting InDesign to PowerPoint is not a very seamless process. The result you’ll get will probably still need a bit of tweaking to make it look presentation-ready.

Luckily for you, 24Slides can help you out with that! Our professional presentation designers are experts at creating outstanding presentations that will leave an impression on your audience.

And, they are masters at cleaning up and converting slides from other formats as well! You can save yourself from all the work of converting your own slides and have your presentation ready to go in 24 hours, for as little as $11 per slide.

How to convert InDesign to PowerPoint for free

If you want to convert an InDesign file to PowerPoint for free, what you’ll need is a PDF editor. You’ll need to export your InDesign file to a PDF format, and only then you’ll be able to convert it to PowerPoint.

For this, any PDF editor with an export option will do. The most important aspect is that they must have OCR conversion . Optical Character Recognition is what will enable them to recognize your InDesign elements separately and make them fully editable when exporting them to a PowerPoint presentation.

You can use PDF convertors without OCR conversion. However, take into account that this will export your PDF file into a PowerPoint as a generic image, meaning you’ll not be able to edit specific elements of your design after you’ve converted it to a slide format.

If you’re working with InDesign, there’s a chance you already have access to Adobe Acrobat through the Adobe Suite , which will allow you to open your InDesign file in PDF format.

If you don’t have Adobe Acrobat, don’t worry! PDF editors like ExpertPDF and Wondershare, among many others, also have OCR conversion capabilities. And while many of these software are paid, they also offer free trial versions, which are perfect for one-time users looking to export a specific InDesign file into PowerPoint.

Step 1. Export InDesign File to PDF

Open your InDesign file and go to File > Export and pick Adobe PDF (Interactive) .

A window will pop up so you can tweak your export, but the default setting will do, so you can just click Export directly.

Step 2. Convert PDF to PowerPoint

Next, open your PDF editor. In this case, we’ll be using Adobe Acrobat. Go to Export To > Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation .

Step 3. Tweaking your PowerPoint

Now you should have your InDesign file converted into PowerPoint!

The simpler your design, the most likely it'll be that the results match the original file. However, chances are that you’ll still need to fix and tweak it to make it look presentable.

Make sure your different elements are aligned, make sure colors have been exported correctly, and overall compare both your documents to guarantee your slides are exactly as you want them to be.

If you need help with this, check out 24Slides’ fix-up service to get your presentation ready with just a couple of clicks!

How to export InDesign to PowerPoint using plug-ins

Plug-ins are small tools that support existing software and add extra functionalities to them. There are plug-ins for almost everything, and of course, converting InDesign to PowerPoint is no exception!

The ID2Office plug-in from Recosoft is one of the best options for this task. It’ll help you export your InDesign file to PowerPoint directly, without the need for an intermediate PDF editor, and still keeping it fully editable.

ID2Office is a paid plug-in. However, there’s a free trial version for those looking for a quick one-time fix!

Can you convert PowerPoint to InDesign?

What about the other way around? Just like in the case of ID2Office, Recosoft offers a plug-in for converting PowerPoint to InDesign, in this case, called DecksMoveIn . Just like ID2Office, it’s a paid feature, but you can try it for free.

You can also export your PowerPoint presentation into a PDF File, to then convert it to InDesign through the multipage PDF script (Window > Utilities > Scripts > Samples > JavaScript > PlaceMultipagePDF.jsx). However, take into account that the result of this process will not be editable.

In short, you can convert your InDesign file into a PowerPoint presentation, but you’ll need some extra tools and a bit of patience to make sure the result is optimal.

Whether it’s a PDF editor or an external plug-in, there will be a couple of intermediate steps in order to successfully export InDesign into PowerPoint.

It’s way easier to create your presentation in the same format you’ll be editing it in. However, in case of an unexpected change, hopefully this guide will help you take your file from InDesign to PowerPoint.

If you’re having problems with your presentation, why not call in the experts? You won’t need to convert your presentations any longer with the help of 24Slides amazing designers. You’ll get a fully editable, presentation-ready, slide deck that will wow your audience from the get-go!

PowerPoint supports multiple video formats, including ASF, AVI, MP4, M4V, MOV, MPG, MPEG, and WMV. If your video is already in one of these formats, you can quickly add that to your presentation.

If your video is in another format, you can convert it to a supported format and then add it to your presentation.

First, make sure the video you want to add to your presentation is saved on your Windows or Mac computer. Then, open your presentation with PowerPoint on your computer.

On the PowerPoint window, in the left sidebar, click the slide in which you want to add a video.

At the top of the PowerPoint window, click the "Insert" tab.

In the "Insert" tab, under the "Media" section (which is to the extreme right side of the interface), click "Video."

You'll now see an "Insert Video From" menu. Here, select "This Device."

Your computer's standard "open" window will open. In this window, access the folder that has your video file. Then double-click your video file to add it to your presentation.

You'll see your selected video in your presentation. To resize this video, click it and use the handles around the video to change its size. Then drag the video to place it at its desired location in your slide.

If you'd like to test the video, at the bottom-left corner of the video, click the play icon.

And you're all set.

Now that you have added a video to your presentation, you might want to change how it plays in your slides. In PowerPoint, you have multiple ways to change your video's playback.

To access these playback options, first, click your video in your presentation. Then, at the top of the PowerPoint window, click "Playback."

In the "Playback" tab, under the "Video Options" section, you will find various options to manage your video's playback.

For example, to change how your video starts to play in your presentation, click the "Start" drop-down menu and select one of these options:

• In Click Sequence : This plays your video in the click sequence. This means if you press the button for the next slide, your video will play.
• Automatically : This option automatically plays your video when the slide with your video opens.
• When Clicked On : Select this option to play your video only when you click it.

The other options are "Play Full Screen," which opens your video in full screen, and "Loop Until Stopped" that plays your video over and over again until you manually stop it.

Before you close PowerPoint, make sure you save your presentation so that your embedded video is saved with it. Do this by clicking File > Save in PowerPoint's menu bar.

And that's how you make your PowerPoint presentations even more engaging by including videos in them. Exciting!

If you don't want to add a video but you do want audio, you can add music to your presentations . This also helps enhance your presentation quality.

How to Convert PPT to PDF for Teachers

As teachers, we often find ourselves juggling countless responsibilities, from lesson planning to grading assignments. Amidst this whirlwind of tasks, converting PowerPoint presentations to PDFs can sometimes feel like an unnecessary hurdle. But trust me, I've been there, and I understand the frustration. This guide is your one-stop shop for converting PPTs to PDFs with ease, ensuring your valuable content reaches your audience seamlessly.

Reasons for Converting PPT to PDF

Let's start with a fundamental truth: PowerPoint (PPT) and PDF are like two different languages – they simply can't understand each other. Trying to open a PPT file in a PDF viewer will lead to a compatibility error.

To bridge this gap and ensure your audience can seamlessly access and engage with your presentation content, converting PPT to PDF is your secret weapon. Here's why this conversion is a game-changer for teachers:

Print Perfection:

The Advantage: PDFs are designed for printing. They guarantee that your slides and handouts look exactly as they do on your screen, with no formatting mishaps.

In the Classroom: Imagine distributing crisp, clear handouts of your lecture notes. Or picture yourself confidently presenting at a workshop with perfectly formatted materials. Converting to PDF makes this a reality, ensuring your printed materials look professional and polished.

Presentation Prowess:

The Advantage: PDFs are the universal language of document sharing. They maintain consistent formatting across different devices and software, eliminating the dreaded "it looks different on my computer" issue.

Sharing with Confidence: Whether you're emailing lesson materials to students or sharing presentation slides with colleagues, PDFs ensure that everyone sees the same high-quality visuals and layout, regardless of their device or operating system.

Universal Compatibility:

The Advantage: PDFs are universally compatible, meaning they can be opened and viewed on virtually any device with a PDF reader.

Reaching Every Student: This is a game-changer in today's diverse classrooms. Students can access PDF presentations on their laptops, tablets, or smartphones, ensuring that everyone stays on the same page, no matter their device preference.

Share slides in Microsoft Teams meetings with PowerPoint Live

PowerPoint Live in Teams gives both the presenter and audience an inclusive and engaging experience, combining the best parts of presenting in PowerPoint with the connection and collaboration of a Microsoft Teams meeting.

When you’re the presenter, you have a unique view that lets you control your presentation while staying engaged with your audience, seeing people’s video, raised hands, reactions, and chat as needed.

And if you’re an audience member, you can interact with the presentation and personalize your viewing experience with captions, high contrast slides, and slides translated into your native language.

Here’s how it works:  

Tip:  Are you an audience member? Jump down to learn more about how you can interact during the presentation.

Presenter view

Present your slides

If you're in PowerPoint for the web, select Present > Present in Teams .

Your slides will appear in the Teams meeting, with your Notes next to them.

Navigate through the slides

Use the navigation arrows to go forward and backward.

Use the thumbnail strip to jump ahead or backwards.

Select Go to slide to see a grid view of all slides in the presentation. Select one to jump to it.

Stay connected to the audience

One of the benefits of using PowerPoint Live to present instead of sharing your screen is that you have quick access to all your meeting tools you need to engage with the audience and to read the room in one view. This is especially true if you’re presenting from a single screen.

Turn Chat on or off to view what your audience is saying.

See audience reactions and raised hands in real-time.

Change the Layout of your presentation and choose how your live camera feed appears in your presentation, like Standout or Cameo . It helps the audience read your non-verbal cues and keeps them engaged.

Use the Laser pointer , Pen , Highlighter , or Eraser to clearly reference items on your slides.

Audience view

As an audience member, you’re able to personalize your experience without affecting anyone else. Try these options to find what works best for you:

Note:  If presenters don't want people to be able to independently navigate through a PowerPoint file they are sharing, use the  Private view  toggle to turn it off.

Click any hyperlink on slides to get more context right away.

Interact with videos on slides to adjust the volume or jump to a timestamp and consume it at your own pace.

Use a screen reader to get full access to the slide content.

Switch to a high contrast view to make the slides easier to view if you have low vision. Select More options > View slides in high contrast .

Your viewing experience will be at a higher fidelity, letting you see crisp text and smooth animations. PowerPoint Live also requires significantly less network bandwidth than typical sharing, making it the best option when network connectivity is a problem.

Independent magnifying and panning

You can zoom in and pan on a presentation slide without affecting what others see. Use your mouse, trackpad, keyboard, touch, or the Magnify Slide option as applicable. 

To zoom in or out on a slide, do any one of the following: 

Hover over the slideshow and pinch or stretch on trackpad.

Pinch or use the stretch touch gesture (on a touch-enabled device).

Press the + or – keys.

Hover over slide, hold down Ctrl key and scroll with mouse wheel.

In the More Actions menu, click the + or – buttons.

To pan around your slide, do any one of the following:

Press the arrow keys.

Click and drag using a mouse.

Click and drag on a trackpad.

Use one finger to touch and drag (on touch-enabled device).

When done zooming and panning, press  Esc to reset your screen.   

Important: 

PowerPoint Live is not supported in Teams live events, CVI devices, and VTC devices.

If you're using Teams on the web, you’ll need Microsoft Edge 18 or later, or Google Chrome 65 or later, to see the presenter view.

Presenter view is hidden by default for small screen devices but can be turned on by selecting More options below the current slide and then Show presenter view (or by selecting the sharing window and then pressing Ctrl+Shift+x).

Meetings recordings won’t capture any videos, animations, or annotation marks in the PowerPoint Live session.

When you share from Teams, the PowerPoint Live section lists the most recent files you've opened or edited in your team SharePoint site or your OneDrive. If you select one of these files to present, all meeting participants will be able to view the slides during the meeting. Their access permissions to the file outside of the meeting won't change.

If you select Browse and choose to present a PowerPoint file that hasn't been uploaded to Teams before, it will get uploaded as part of the meeting. If you're presenting in a channel meeting, the file is uploaded to the Files tab in the channel, where all team members will have access to it. If you're presenting in a private meeting, the file is uploaded to your OneDrive, where only the meeting participants will be able to access it.
