Tutorial: Convert your PowerPoint to a movie

Tutorial: Convert your PowerPoint to a movie | Digital Presentations in Education | Scoop.it

It’s time to share your presentation! Whether you’re delivering a business proposal to a client, an academic presentation to your professor, or even showing a personal photo slide to your grandmother, you have to ensure that your visuals can be clearly seen by your audience.

Baiba Svenca's insight:

With PowerPoint 2013 or 2010, you do not need any additional program to convert your presentation to video because this feature is integrated in the software. The article describes the steps you need to take to create a video file from your presentation.

If you use PowerPoint 2007 which does not have this option, it can be done indirectly.
