Creating a PowerPoint video with audio involves several steps. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create an engaging and professional video:
Step 1: Insert Audio
First, open your PowerPoint presentation and select the slide where you want to add audio. Click on the “Insert” tab in the Ribbon, then click on “Audio”. From here, you can choose to “Record Audio” for a new file, or “Audio on My PC” to select an existing file.
Step 2: Customize Audio Playback
After inserting the audio, you can customize how it plays. Select the audio icon, then click on the “Playback” tab in the Ribbon. Here, you can choose whether the audio should play on click, automatically, or across multiple slides.
Step 3: Record Slide Show
If you want to record timings for the slides or narrate over the slides, you can use the “Record Slide Show” option. Go to the “Slide Show” tab in the Ribbon, and choose “Record Slide Show”. This allows you to control the progression of the slides and add narration.
Step 4: Export to Video
Once you’re satisfied with your presentation and audio, it’s time to export it as a video. Go to the “File” tab, select “Export”, then click on “Create a Video”. Choose the quality and whether to use recorded timings and narrations.
Step 5: Save the Video
Finally, click “Create Video” and choose where to save it on your computer. Enter a name for the video file and choose a location, then click “Save”. PowerPoint will then process your video, which you can share or upload as desired.
Remember, creating an effective PowerPoint video with audio requires practice and patience. It’s all about finding the right balance between visual content and audio commentary to effectively convey your message.
