Create Videos Using Powerpoint (for Mac) and post in Vumedi

In the past we posted a blog on how to make videos in Powerpoint on a PC, this can also be done on a Mac.  You can voice over a Powerpoint presentation and then we convert it to a video. Below are instructions for how to voice over your PowerPoint presentation.

Intstructions:

Step 1: If your Mac has a camera, it also has a built in microphone, these work well. If not, plug a microphone into your computer.

Step 2: Open your presentation in Powerpoint

Step 3. Select “Slide Show” at the top and then select “Record Narration” (See image below).

Select "Slide Show" and then 'Record Narration"

Step 4: Select the “Input Device”. If you are using the built-in microphone, it is already selected. Then click “Record”.

Select Input Device

Step 4: Your slide show will begin to play. Speak into the microphone to record your presentation. Press the RIGHT arrow key to move on to the next slide (You will see a message saying “Exporting movie” and then your next slide will appear). The timings are automatically recorded. IMPORTANT: After each slide, you must pause, advance the slide, and then begin speaking again. Powerpoint does not record audio when it advances to the next slide.

 

Step 5: When you advance past your last slide, you will see the message below, select “Yes”:

Select "Yes"

Step 6: Another message will appear, select “Yes”:

Select "Yes"

Your recording is now complete!

The final step is to send us your presentation. Email us at contact@vumedi.com to get details on how you may send your presentation and all accompanying files.
