PRESENTATION TO VIDEO
REASONS FOR CONVERSION TO VIDEO :
To give a high-fidelity version of the presentation to colleagues or customers (either as an e-mail attachment, published to the web, on a CD or DVD), playing it as a video is better.In PowerPoint 2010, user can now save the presentation as a Windows Media Video (.wmv) file, and distribute it confidently, knowing that your animated, narrated, multimedia presentation will play without a glitch.
If user do not want to use the .wmv file format, a preferred third party utility to convert your file to another format (.avi, .mov, etc) can be used.
While recording presentation as a video:
- User can record and time voice narration and laser pointer movements in the video.
- User can control the size of the multimedia file and the quality of the video.
- Can include animations and transitions in the movie.
- Viewers do not need to have PowerPoint installed on their computers to watch it.
- If the presentation contains an embedded video, the video will play correctly without user needing to control it.
- Depending on the content of the presentation, creating a video may take some time. Lengthy presentations and presentations with animations, transitions, and media content will likely take longer to create. User can continue to use PowerPoint while the video is being created.
Record and time voice narration and pointer movements
To record and playback a narration, your computer must be equipped with a sound card, microphone, and speakers.Good presentations include concise slide content which is supported and reinforced by a presenter's gestures and discussion.
User can record your slide show prior to sharing it with the audience, or you can record a narration while actively delivering a presentation to a live audience and include their comments and questions in the recording.
