Convert PowerPoint presentations, especially in situations when you don’t have Microsoft office installed on the laptop you’ll be using to send your presentation, and when you won’t be able to use the Internet either (if you think you’ll be downloading from your office web apps account). Therefore, video presentations in such situations are a lifesaver.
There are a number of great tools available that allow you to convert PowerPoint presentations to video format, but most of them are paid.
AuthorStream is a beautiful website that converts PowerPoint presentations into videos for free. Not only that, the videos can be sent directly to YouTube.
To use this tool, registration is required. You can also use this tool without registration, but the uploaded file will not be private and will be visible to everyone.
Here’s how you’ll upload your presentation and convert it.
Before uploading a presentation, open it in Microsoft PowerPoint. Go to the slide show tab and click Rehearse Time. It allows you to define the display time of the slide on the screen.
If you don’t implement this function, AuthorStream will not be able to convert PPT to video.
Now go to the AuthorStream website. Register with the service. Login with your Username and Password. At the top, click Upload PowerPoint -> Upload from Desktop.
The next page will appear. Click the “From Desktop” button if you want to upload files from the desktop. Tag the presentation and check or uncheck the boxes to the right to keep your file private or public. Click the “Upload now” button.
Your file will upload within seconds.
Once uploaded, the tool will start the conversion process. It will email you when the conversion is complete. You can also check the status by clicking on the given link on the page.
After a while, when you receive the message, click on the link provided inside the message. You will see the uploaded presentation. On the right side there is a link to convert the video.
When you click on the link, it will start the process and send you an email with the final link when it’s done. When you click on it, you will get a page like below.
Depending on the size of the PowerPoint file, the conversion time will vary. The output video quality is excellent. There is an option to upload videos directly to YouTube. Alternatively, you can create a video podcast and transfer it to iTunes.
