Tech Help Needed: Converting Powerpoint 2010 to video with decent sound

[mmichaels1970]

Something you could consider is recording the audio to a separate file while going through your presentation. Save the presentation as a silent video file. Use Microsoft Movie Maker to append the audio to the presentation video.

That's a great idea.

Thanks for your advice. I initially started with Microsoft Movie Maker, but unfortunately it was very glitchy -- I couldn't even get my images to show in the preview window, and subsequently learned from online research that this is a common problem with MMM. So I bought Wondershare, but I'm finding it's text capabilities to be inadequate for my purpose.

But maybe I can fool around with your advice using Wondershare instead of MMM.

It’s been a while since I fiddled around with PowerPoint packaging. I’m sorry I can’t be of more help.

Please ping me when you do arrive at a suitable solution. I’d like to learn from your experience.

Thanks!

I’ll add one more thing.

The tool that I found indispensable in the past was this:

Total Recorder:

The VideoPro version is $53.

I was able to manipulate video and audio with very high quality results.

There’s a trial version you can try first.

Can’t you do the sound separately and add it as a track? Any good or even a bad video editor allows that. Audacity is a pretty good sound editor

Yep. That's what I suggested above. I think Maceman is suffering from a "tyranny of choice". There's so many options, it's hard to get started!
