I'm blown away by this (I started using PowerPoint when it was first invented but haven't used it in about a decade now). It's come such a long way! You did such a great job explaining this. Thank you.
This has helped me a lot, thank you! A question... in the timing box, it only allows 60 seconds. What if your voice over is two minutes long and your animations ends round about the same time. How do I set the timing for 1 minute 30 seconds?
Thx Angela. Question, if a ppt is going to be saved as video, could you not do your narration as one file (as you did), save the ppt deck as a video, and THEN add the narration and music over the video? That seems easier to me - one track of background music thru the entire video, and on the other track simply space the narration for each slide by cutting and dragging it to match up with each transition? No?
Hi Carl! That could work as well however if there are a lot of animations, I find it easier to manipulate the animation timing within the PowerPoint. Powerpoints are usually created before the narration so some transitions and animations are too short to fit all the narration of a line in before the next animation. It may be more difficult to sync them up in that respect if the Powerpoint is already in video form. :)
