To export a recorded video from PowerPoint, navigate to the Export option. Here's a detailed breakdown:
-
Select File: Click on "File" in the PowerPoint ribbon.
-
Choose Export: From the File menu, select "Export".
-
Create a Video: Under the Export options, choose "Create a Video". (Alternatively, if you are on the "Recording" tab of the ribbon, you can directly select "Export to Video".)
-
Select Video Quality: In the "Create a Video" section, you'll find a drop-down menu to choose the video quality. The quality you select will determine the resolution of the finished video. Higher video quality results in a larger file size. Your options typically include:
- Ultra HD (4K): Largest file size, highest resolution.
- Full HD (1080p): High quality, suitable for most screens.
- HD (720p): Good quality, moderate file size.
- Standard (480p): Smallest file size, lower resolution.
-
Use Recorded Timings and Narrations (Optional): If you've recorded timings and narrations, ensure "Use Recorded Timings and Narrations" is selected. If not, choose "Don't Use Recorded Timings and Narrations". You can also set the number of seconds to spend on each slide if you don't use recorded timings.
-
Create Video: Click the "Create Video" button.
-
Choose Save Location: A dialog box will appear, prompting you to choose a save location and filename for your video. The default file type is typically .mp4.
-
Wait for Export: The video export process will begin. A progress bar at the bottom of the PowerPoint window will indicate the export's progress. The export time depends on the length of your presentation, the complexity of the slides, and the selected video quality.
