How do I turn Powerpoint Slideshows into movie clips?

Question

I have Windows Movie Maker and I have a powerpoint presentation slideshow. How do I turn it into a movie?:

Answer 1

Yea, use Windows movie maker is a free and easy way, but you can not retain animations transitions and audio track that a really PowerPoint should have. Your presentation will be a dull thing.
So here I recommend you use some professional tool like Acoolsoft PPT2Video Converter

Acoolsoft PPT2Video Converter is an all-in-one PowerPoint to video converter. It can convert PowerPoint presentations to almost all popular video formats such as MPEG, AVI, MP4, WMV, ASF, FLV, MOV, 3GP, 3GP2. Ideal for trade show, digital signature, in-store displays and ready for video podcast.

Before converting, please put the music and the PowerPoint in the same folder, in a word, everything in the same folder to make sure you PowerPoint on YouTube with animations, transitions and audio track retained.
Hope it can help you!

Hi,

If you have Mac PowerPoint then it's easy: File > Make Movie.

Windows users have to do a little more work. Here's an article about it:
