Circumstances may arise that require you to convert your presentation to video for posting to the web, viewing on portable devices such as the Zune, or making it so that the user doesn’t need PowerPoint to watch the presentation.

1. Open the desired PowerPoint 2010 presentation.

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.

6. Finally, select the number of seconds to spend on each slide and click the Create Video button.

7. The Save As window will appear. Browse to the location that the video file is to be saved to. Input a name for the file and click the Save button.

  • 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?
