  Adding sound to powerpoint video .WMV

  Posted by Campbell Killick on May 16, 2013 at 3:16 pm

  I am struggling to create a DVD of 5 powerpoint presentations on video

  As you probably know Powerpoint 2010 does a nice job turning a presentation with narration into a WMV file – either 960×720 or 640×480

  The properties are as follows

  Data rate 1366kbps
  Total bitrate 1686kbps
  Framerate 30 f/s

  ideo
  ID : 1
  Format : VC-1
  Format profile : MP@HL
  Codec ID : WMV3
  Codec ID/Info : Windows Media Video 9
  Codec ID/Hint : WMV3
  Description of the codec : Windows Media Video 9 – Professional
  Duration : 2mn 37s
  Bit rate mode : Variable
  Bit rate : 411 Kbps
  Width : 960 pixels
  Height : 720 pixels
  Display aspect ratio : 4:3
  Frame rate : 30.303 fps
  Nominal frame rate : 30.000 fps
  Bit depth : 8 bits
  Scan type : Progressive
  Compression mode : Lossy
  Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.020
  Stream size : 7.71 MiB (46%)
  Language : English (US)

  So at this stage I want to add on a soundtrack, balance the levels and send 5 files to DVD architect. Windows movie maker does this very nicely. The resulting 1280×720 is clear and the 5 mp4 files burn onto DVD without any problem.

  But Movie maker is very limited and I am unable to set the audio levels and trim the soundtrack with the precision that Vegas movie studio platinum allows.

  I imported the clips into vegas using the “match media video settings” function to get the properties right.

  custom template (960×720, 30.000 fps)
  pixel aspect ration 1.00 (square)
  frame rate 30
  render quality best
  deinterlace interpolate
  adjust unticked

  After adding my soundtrack the preview looks good and I go to “make movie”

  Now the problem – whatever template I use seems to cause skip and flicker with black frames and frames out of order
  The mainconcept avc/aac standard 720 template seems right but it dosent work neither does the “burn it to DVD” option

  Its probably a small setting somwhere but I havent been able to find it

  I would value any constructive advice

  Thanks
