BUS552 How to Convert PPT to Video file on Windows 7

At CALMAT, professors sometimes asks us to post video presentations on YouTube. You can do so by using PPT and Windows Movie Maker. It takes a few steps on Windows XP. However, the same procedure cannot be applied on Windows 7.

Fortunately, the conversion on Windows7 was much simpler than the one on XP.
Only MS PowerPoint 2010 is necessary. (Windows Live Movie Maker was not needed at all!)
OS: Windows 7 (If XP, it's done in a different way)

 

1) Create PPT slides and add narration.
2) Save as "Windows Media Video."
3) Take a few minutes to create .wmv file. Just wait until it's done.
4) Upload .wmv file to YouTube (takes a few minutes)

Optionally, you can edit video or add background music using Windows Live Movie Maker. My point is, narration [deleted extra space] cannot be added through Live Movie Maker, so that [delete] you need to add it on PPT to create WMV file first.

 

- Narration volume can be adjusted by editing video menu through Live Movie Maker.
- Background music volume can be adjusted by editing music menu through Live Movie Maker.

• Note that YouTube supports the following format of video data to upload:

WebM
.MPEG4
.3GPP
.MOV
.AVI
.MPEGPS
.WMV
.FLV

• The file must be less then 15 minutes for free YouTube account 

It is up to you to create which format of the video file while here I would introduce you how to create .AVI file using a free screen capture tool for Windows.

1) Try downloading CamStudio: http://camstudio.org/

2) Launch CamStudio to capture a screen video

• The above method can be used to capture your Skype discussion as well.

• Secondary, I would recommend the following method for your PowerPoint presentation to put on the internet. (PowerPoint presentation only) http://ctcalmatmba.blogspot.com/2011/06/bus552-how-to-convert-ppt-to-video-file.html
