5 Ways to Convert PowerPoint Presentations to Video (free ways and cost-effective ways)
Method 1: Upload your presentations to http://www.slideshare.net which is one of the worlds largest communities for sharing presentations. It can generate video for your presentations.
After uploading your presentations onto it, you can directly download the generated video onto your own computer, or embed the video to your blog.
But there are limitations to the presentations uploaded to it. Max size of the presentation is limited to 100MB; animations, video clips and other complex elements couldnt be added; PowerPoint 2007 is not supported. Sometimes, objects inserted into the presentation may be modified after the uploading.
Some other similar online PowerPoint sharing sites such as http://www.authorstream.com and http://www.slideboom.com/ also support generate video for the presentations uploaded. The advantage is that you dont need to download any programs onto your computer and they are all free. If your presentations size is not too big, and there are only texts and pictures in your presentation, you can have a try at these sites.
Method 2: Use Camtasia which costs $299 to record your presentation and then generate a video
Step1: In the Task List, select Record PowerPoint.
Step2: Open a PowerPoint presentation to record.
Step3: Select the recording options from the PowerPoint Add-in Toolbar. Click the Record button.
Step4: The presentation opens in presentation mode. A Camtasia Studio dialog opens in the lower right corner of the screen. Click the Click to begin recording button.
Step5: Progress through the PowerPoint presentation slides. To stop the recording before the last slide, press <ESC>. To stop the recording at the end of the presentation, click Stop recording.
Step6: Enter a file name and location and click Save. The presentation recording saves as a Camtasia Studio recording file.
Advantages with this method: The program can capture slide timing, animations, sound effects, webcam video and any applications displayed on screen during the presentation. You can also record your own narration while the screen-capture process is being carried out.
Disadvantages: This program eats huge system resources. If the configuration of your computer is not so good, animations may become laggy or even lost.
Method 3: Convert PowerPoint presentation to video with Acoolsoft PPT2Video Converter
When searching free PowerPoint to video in Google, this product came into my sight. After testing, I think it may be the easiest way in all these 5 ways to achieve what we want to do and with a good quality.
Step1: Download this PPT2Video Converter and install it on your computer.
Step2: Launch the program. Click Import button to choose the presentation you want to convert, choose an output format for the video you want to generate.

Step3: Upload the video to blogs or websites such as YouTube.
Method 4: Use Windows Movie Maker to create a video for your presentations
Windows Movie Maker comes with all Windows XP and Vista installed computers. With this method, it may time consuming and animations in your presentation would be lost after the conversion.
Step1: Save your PowerPoint slide show as PNG images.
Step2: Import the images to your Windows Movie Maker.
Step3: Select all the imported images and then add them to Storyboard.
