2. Go to the Ribbon, click File and select Share.
3. Under the File Types section, select Create a Video.
4. In the far right pane, select the quality of video that you wish to create.
5. In the far right pane, select the whether you want to use Recorded Timings and Narrations.

Trying it now with a 12 slide presentation. It is taking an excessively long time to render the WMV. It has been working 30 minutes or more and is about 20% done at this point. I wouldn’t be surprised if the WMV is unusable when it is done. Great idea, but I am less than wowed by my first experience.

I have video files in *.mov format. I can convert to *.WMV format. Will powerpoint 2010 show my videos if converted?

on ppt 2007 there is no selection “Share” at the “file” menu. What do I do?

This is only available in 2010. There are a zillion paid software packages to do this… although I haven’t been impressed with the results.

What happens when you have recorded timings and each slide is a different length before flicking to the next screen (and includes music so timing has to be perfect). I can’t have every slide at a certain length!!

2010 saves the file as WMV flawlessly, I saved at ppt with hundreds of animation events, _and_ an audio track, it saved them all fine with the WMV.

for me, if I do this with any of our presentations, ppt just hangs with the hour glass, and never writes the file. The prentations were originally 2007, and I converted them to 2010 first as ppt suggests. Anyone else had this problem?

My file is about an hour long. it was created in pp 2007 then converted to 2010. I will not save in windows media file with out losing the audio. How can I save it and still keep the audio?

I don’t know about 2007 but my presentation is about 35 minutes with varied length slides, audio, videos and animations. Created in 2003, converted to 2010. Still struggling to get it to be perfect as a wmv. Audio needed to be deleted and embedded/re-inserted and then the timings needed to be changed on slides where the audio was confined to one slide. I’m having problems with animations on some slides. This is frustrating because many slides that converted correctly are the same configuration as some that will not convert. This is my 5th attempt which takes about 3 hours to complete the save. Not sure if this helps, just thought I would comment.

I have made a one dia presentation with 4 animated text lines and a sound file(mp3) that starts when the dia comes up, when I play the file within Powerpoint It works fine, but when I create a wmv file the sound starts after the animations. The audio option is set to automatic. I tride several audio option but still the sound starts after the animations. Does anyone knows the solution for this problem?
