  • best way to export a recorded powerpoint presentation?

    Posted by Bobby Mosaedi on November 14, 2008 at 4:13 pm

    I have cleaned up a program that is just a video capture of a presenters voice over his powerpoint slides, which is in DV. I want to export a file that has minimal size . Even at 1 frame per second, that is too much. Some of these slide stay up for 30 seconds at the minimum, so I was seeing if anyone knew of any other solutions out there for encoding this stuff to a minimal size format. Thanks

    What is your definition of minimal size.[Bobby Mosaedi] “Even at 1 frame per second, that is too much”

    Let me better under stand this you tried exporting a video that was 1 frame per second and you feel the file size is to big?

    There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
    Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

    i have about three hours of recorded footage, so yeah, 1 frame per second would be wasteful since these slides are up on the same frame for an average of 30-60 seconds. I would split it up by speaker, each speaking for about 10-15 minutes. I’m trying to keep each speaker’s video to small file size like 5-10 mb per, so minimizing the number of frames that go on the video would be crucial, with most of that being audio of course.

    I think you could save a lot of “size” if you mess with your compression settings. H.264 is a good compressor that looks amazing. What are you using?

    Another thing I’ve done in the past, is use Keynote. I’d import the Powerpoint into keynote, then use the EXPORT TO QUICKTIME feature, which makes it an interactive movie…VERY effective and always a crowd pleaser.
