Converting a PowerPoint slide to a video has lots of uses.
Videos are in fact, quite an easy way to send someone a PowerPoint presentation.
Another use I can think of straightaway is tocreate a novel visual resumeto stand out from the crowd.
Pretty much like the one demonstrated in the said link.
Creating a video from a slideshow isnt something new.
It has been a pretty common activity thanks to the clutch ofPPT to video converters.
Microsoft Office 2010 has come in with a slew of user-friendlynew features.
One of the new features in PowerPoint 2010 helps you convert Powerpoint presentations to video with just a click.
Here are the steps that start with a normal presentation file.
The time taken for the conversion will of course depend on the size of the PowerPoint file.
My 15-slide sample presentation took about eight minutes to turn into a movie.
The inbuilt PowerPoint video conversion is a handy aid to have.
There are some limitations of course:
PowerPoint 2010 supports only one video format.
A few more choices like MP4, FLV etc would have been real handy.
For that, you still have to depend on third-party conversion tools.
Also, the highest resolution thats on offer is 960x720.
Higher resolutions (and commonly available) like 1,280x720, 1,920x1,080, or 1,920x1,080 are not available.
The limitations notwithstanding, the Create Video feature is a great tool to have.
If you are aPowerPointsuper-user, would you agree that Microsoft has plugged a gap.
