Creating Videos using EM Free PowerPoint Converter

A short tutorial on how to use EM Free PowerPoint Converter. The program allows you to record slidecasts as video files that you can then put on YouTube. In this tutorial I walk through the basic steps of the process. It shouldn't be terribly difficult for any user and I only go over the basic options needed to create a video.

E.M. Free PowerPoint Converter is available at http://www.effectmatrix.com/PowerPoin...

hello everybody this is Nick worse here
and I'm going to be going through any
presentation a using he and PowerPoint
be your converter
and this will show how to create
PowerPoint screencasts
for you to get him up on youtube so you
can share with everyone
the goals of this video are to learn the
interface for EM powerpoint Video
Converter
I'm using the free version the %ah not
free version is relatively cheap
but I'm cheaper so I'm using free right
now
and i wanna show you how quickly easy it
is to make a PowerPoint
video file and then how you can upload
it to YouTube I'm actually currently
going through the process right now but
I'll step to you
through it kinda pay Gary matter sulfur
currying
take now you'll notice down in the
right-hand corner there's
a number that is because in a previous
video I talked about how using multiple
duplicate slides can create the
evolution of some animations on screen
so that number down there were keep
track each individual slide
so it's right there you can see that
Wendy era was added the number changed
to it's just a little visual reminder hi
how I'm doing things with various lie so
this is what the interface for the EM
free powerpoint Video Converter looks
like
I'm kinda intimidating
but it's relatively easy to use there's
a lot of
advanced settings you don't typically
need to concern yourself with
so the first thing you're going to you
is right there the new task by and when
you click that
little %ah thing will come up in el se
I had file seen you want to add
me and you must select add file because
we're all going to be doing one for now
you can get a chance here in the future
if you want and married a whole series
serve
I different PowerPoint files in a row or
shrinking scattered but we're just going
to add one
so when you click Add File you get a
to call file finding menu thang so I me
upper upper part of the menu you're
going to navigate
to wear your PowerPoint presentation as
you can see this 19 titled
using EM powerpoint Video Converter I'll
so you going to select your file man you
got click open
town and the lower right hand corner and
this Windows going to pop up on there's
that little option up there it says do
not automatically display this dialogue
by
you now if you're just using this to
make youtube videos
national cromer having a pop up every
time I you're gone click the button that
says
AVI video that's good right make your
format and
and take four format which is really
easy to upload to YouTube
and he quipped that and now you can see
it at the PowerPoint file
has been added air now it says and one
out for that's because when I was just
adding it visually
I'll there were only four slides
so you can actually said which slide
your gonna start narrating at and which
lies you're going to you
and in a reading at using the tram
option but
again tax really advance you don't worry
about that
I you might want to do that if you're
near Reading
something you can as a presentation and
you had specific slides that you just
didn't need to go over but
I it entirely up to you k so now that
you have your PowerPoint slide
in there we're going to really quickly
ran out here
and the road that we want is
most likely going to be interactive
interactive
allows you to nah read and record the
audio as you're going
that's what I'm actually doing right now
so few hit auto what's gonna happen is
you just going to you
automatically transition from slide
slide
every six seconds according to the
current settings are however may 2nd you
want
but if you're in a reading I PowerPoint
white best
then you really don't want to do that
you my why do I do it say you are doing
a bunch
ok just odd ads
that you want to turn into a video or he
was a picture slideshow something like
that but you need to talk to her but
you're talking over it this is what you
kinda like you
came and you can see one I selected
interactive
it gives you a detailed description
right here X's
you play the PowerPoint file manually
click on the left mouse button
or press the down button on the keyboard
to give backslide
until the and what they don't tell you
those you can actually have key I left a
row I found
to go backwards so that's useful
sometimes if you forgot something you
don't have to redo the entire show
%uh but we're going to just keep going
forwards for now
then downed here is where you're going
to slake your file name:
see you click that button that the air
is pointing to
and again brings up a file dialog that
looks like this
I'll again navigate to where you want to
save your file you can see ray care
that %ah this is same folder I saved
another
file and testing proof of concept which
was the first video I did
nom and you just type in your file name:
and then you're going to you go and
click
safe and then your
new file name will be just laid down and
file name area
and once you've done all that your
pretty much set up
like I said there are other options you
can change your video options you can
change your audio options
the but there's no real reason to
aren't the only thing you might wanna do
is go instead of two compressions doing
just
single compression again it doesn't
really matter unless you're doing
something
massive I'll because once you upload it
to YouTube you just delete a file of
your hard drive
say you're gonna hate convert and once
you do that you begin a reading
the PowerPoint a slideshow he'll show up
in a separate window and I don't have a
picture that because this would have
been
way to workers and they tried to match
it
armed but it shows up in a separate
window and you navigate using the down
arrow on the left arrow or your
left click mouse by whichever you're
more comfortable with
and when you reach the end if your show
then it will go through a process
%uh actually converting the video file
and once it's done converting the video
file it'll save it where you
wherever you put it so the next thing we
need to do is get this video up on
YouTube
so we're gonna go to YouTube dot com and
if you don't have a youtube account
already you can set one up if you have a
gmail account your Gmail account
or any cool account really he set up a
Google account that will also work for
you to be capped
once you're logged in there is a link in
the upper right hand corner that says
upload it brings you to a page that
looks like this
you're not quickly upload video button
and just like before that's going to
bring up a I'll selection window
and your and navigate to where the file
was in Europe
now go ahead in selector fuck video file
and once you've selected your file will
start to upload you can see upload
progress there too
32 percent and then you're going down
go down here and you can had in titles
like how to create a video
team putting a description and I'll be a
longer description
%uh I'll what you what your video is
tags: are and I'll
now whatever you think are important
tags:
to include in the video for example
you for this video I might do you
tutorial I might cue
EM PowerPoint converter I might do
PowerPoint and make you slide cast
and you separate all your tax with a
comma
then you select your category for this
said most likely be educational or
something like that
and then your privacy I'll settings
public means anyone can search for it in
view it which is usually what you want
you want people to see your things
especially if it's me even if it's you
meant for just the school
it's cool to share with the world and
there's no reason not to
unlisted means that you have to send
people a link
and anyone who has to link can view the
file but it won't show up
search directories and private means you
can all meet you invite certain specific
users
to view and that's really not something
that we need to do it all
are they are not click Save Changes once
you do that
I two things will pop up on will be a
URL and this'll be how you shared with a
generic person via email
few I send someone a link which we call
Tonya hey I got this point your day is
seen playing email I am so whatever the
other
I sharing option is and adding and
embedding is what you'll typically used
to put
a YouTube video directly into a website
so that is a nother feature a pair
that you're probably use if you wanna
share your videos on your website or
whatever
so to review we went over how to create
a video using EM powerpoint Video
Converter I use the free version but the
pay version is not much different and
then how to upload your video to you to
you

very easy to do
