Powerpoint Presentation to IMovie!

I am trying to save a powerpoint presentation to a .mov file and then import movie into IMovie successfully.

Quicktime screen capture may do the trick for you.

How to burn Powerpoint presentation to IMovie?

Can I take my Powerpoint presentation and save as a movie and then burn to a DVD via IMovie?
I am attempting to view this at home on a DVD player before presenting the PPT to a group on a big screen soon. I want to see how it comes across on a bigger screen than what I have on my monitor. Any help is appreciated!

If you have iDVD and a DVD burner (SuperDrive) on your mac, you can choose that as an export option in iMovie.
Or you can save your movie to the desktop as a Full Quality Movie and drag it to iDVD from there.
Here's a great tutorial:

PowerPoint (PPS) to iMovie for iWeb

Can someone help me understand how to transfer a PPS into iMovie? Each time I try to import, the PPS won't allow me to select it. If I just click on "create movie" in PowerPoint, the quality is terrible (even if I select "quality) and it changes some of my graphics.
Thanks for the help!

Hi
Please describe How You go from PPT to iDVD. Via iMovie ?
If so - then convert Your .wma file to .aiff (same kHz) and use this in iMovie instead. (no .mp3 either)

Make PowerPoint presentation available to family

I made a PowerPoint presentation (200mb) and family members wish to have a copy. Knowing that some do not have the PowerPoint application and that some have a Microsoft operating system and PC, should I save it as a PowerPoint Movie, Show or Package? Would it be a better to save it on a DVD so people can view it on a t.v. rather than on a CD? Help.
thanks,
Paul

as Shippey and Keller wrote:
you have no real choice... :-/
my experience with Microsoft products: they are NOT a 100% trans-system shareable... even plain word.doc, done in Office v.X don't look the same, later opened on some PC systems... (even using MS-fonts etc....)
with .ppt you have much bigger problems, concerning fonts, transitions/effects, which even PC>>PC don't show the same results.... (worked in a big company with >5000 PCs, esp. the PCs in our conference rooms never ever had the same fonts we had in our cubicles; not even the "company's c.i. fonts"...instead of using the network, we lug our PCs around... )
your Plan B) making a DVD sounds good, as long as you don't have tiny (<20pt), serif fonts.... as Shippey said, a telly has about a quarter of the resolution a computer has plus interlacing (which makes things worse).... if your version of PP allows, export as Quicktime/dv stream (huge files) and import that into iDVD..-
you're talking of "family", my guess, you made a kind of "slide show" of stills with PP? try to create a DVD, my recommendation.
no, I recommend, do it again in iPhoto/iMovie/iDVD

Does iWork come with a form of powerpoint presentation compatible with Microsoft Office Powerpoint?

I recently bought a MacBook Pro and need to purchase iWork or Microsoft Office. Does iWork come with a form of powerpoint presentation? If so, is it easy to use and compatible with Microsoft Office presentation software? The latter question is extremely important as we use Microsoft Office primarily at the college.

Yes, Keynote is iWork's PowerPoint equivalent. You can save as a PowerPoint file as well. Very easy to use IMO.

Optimizing PowerPoint Presentations

I work on an iMac running OSX 10.4.8 and am using PowerPoint 11.3.2. Within the Graphic Design group of a large corporation, we create our customer's PowerPoint presentations using the Macintosh then they take the finished products over to their PC environment.
We do not have an inter-department PC yet so a Mac is our only option (preferred by us, of course). Unfortunately, I find that the file sizes of the Mac files are exponential and seem to grow inexplicably with even the simplest text changes.
We are very well aware of how to optimize photo images and which formats to use. We also are very careful to use the 72 dpi resolution settings when saving files.
Also, I have tried all of the 'tips and tricks' I could find on the 'net about copying from Excel, dragging and dropping images vs. using the "Insert" function, etc.
I have a PC at home and I was able to find a nifty optimizing program (nxpowerlite) to use on files there and have been bringing our large Macintosh-generated files home before giving them to the clients and have been able to reduce the sizes from anywhere up to 9 Mb down to 786 Kb with very little visible degradation of the images!
So what gives? Is there some extraneous data which gets attached to the PowerPoint files every time they're opened and changed? Is there any way to 'optimize' Macintosh PowerPoint files the way you can on the PC?
I understand that Keynote is the way to go for the future but unfortunately this large Corporation doesn't seem to think that buying a different Macintosh program will help us solve the problem when we're trying to accomodate the 90% PC Microsoft PowerPoint users.
We are working on getting a PC in the office for Microsoft work but until then I'd really be curious to find out just what is happening with these files.
Thanks!

Hi, V. Welcome to the Discussions.
One common cause of Mac PPT file bloat is the use of the "Allow Fast Saves" PowerPoint's preferences. See this post on another forum.
For additional ideas, I suggest you search or post-to the "PowerPoint" group you can find on the Microsoft Mac Support - Newsgroups page. These are Google Groups with active participation from MS PowerPoint users, including a variety of expert users.
Be sure to state the version of PowerPoint you are using if you post there.
I don't mean to send you somewhere else, but I've found numerous answers there for folks with questions related to MS products. Accordingly, it has often proved to be the first, best place to look for answers to questions such as you are asking.
Good luck!

How do I see powerpoint presentation on VGA projector?

I have the mini DVI to VGA adapter. After I connect my macbook to a vga projector what function key or command do I use to see my powerpoint presentation on the VGA projector?

It is essentially 'plug and play' - this was taken from the following linked site...
Tip: To make sure that your computer automatically detects theexternal display or projector, be sure you plug the adapter into theexternal display or projector before you plug it into the computer.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303236
If you Macbook screen does appear and you still have powerpoint problems then the issue may be with your presentation as whatever appears on your screen should appear on your projector.

I am trying to connect a Macbook Pro to a projector for a Powerpoint presentation. When I use a VGA cable, the color of the projected images are not good. When I use a USB cable, the projected image includes the presenter notes on my computer screen?

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

PowerPoint presentations not working with Office Web Apps

Hi,
I have deployed Lync 2013 and Office Web Apps Server in order to share PowerPoint presentations. All te sharings are working fine (Desktop, Program, Whiteboard, Poll) but PowerPoint presentations.
I have re-installed Office Web Apps Server several times but it doesn't work:
Discovery URL is OK
Event IDs in Lync Server Event Viewer are OK
I have checked certificate and created it twice and that's not the problem (when tried to use a wrong certificate, the behaviour was different).
Tried aspnet_regiis but didn't worked.
Both Lync Server and Office Web Apps Server are updated.
Servers are Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
I have tested both Lync 2013 and Lync 2013 Basic clients but no one works.
When I share a PowerPoint, I can see it follows the whole way through LyncShare, Lync Server and Office Web Apps Server. PowerPoint files get to Office Web Apps Server (different name but I can move then to other workstation and check
they are the files shared).
Clients begin showing a "Loading..." but end showing "Network connectivity lost or server too busy" (after 90 seconds more or less).
If I get URL from Lync-UccApi-0:
https://wacserver.domain/m/Presenter.aspx?a=0&e=true&WopiSrc=https%3A%2F%2Flyncpool.domain%2FDataCollabWeb%2Fwopi%2Ffiles%2F11-1-90C848&access_token=AAMFEECCjUt7489YhSlhQY4GBWcGEIsJ8vG8JQH9w0g_TTTVe3aBEECCjUt7489YhSlhQY4GBWeCApwQgyBHjXVmSaUT70sAAlMNX4oAfTt5Nqgy5sJwqlLneNAxGYYIsFS5edC90AgIDURhdGFDb2xsYWJXZWI&<fs=FULLSCREEN&><rec=RECORDING&><thm=THEME_ID&><ui=UI_LLCC&><rs=DC_LLCC&>
If I put this URL in the browser, it turns black and shows "Loading..." and, after a long while, "PowerPoint Web App...", but it remains in this state (loading) without working.
In the Office Web Apps Server Event Viewer there are some errors related to other services I'm not using, as OneNote, or for Monitoring with the "PositiveDirect" and "NegativeDirect" tokens. Machine also answers it's
Unhealthy, but as I have read, this is not a problem.
In the ULS Logs I just see errors related to these events but logs for PowerPoint work fine. And IIS is answering with "200" (although there are a number of petitions that seem to be repeated:

It seems that something is not working between the clients and Office Web Apps Server. There is not a firewall and machines see each other. Certificate is accepted.
I have tried so many thing but none of them worked.
Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks!

How can I import an i-tune into a powerpoint presentation?

I am preparing a slide show for my wife's birthday on powerpoint 3.0, and I am a beginner. I want to play a song and show 93 slides. When I try to import the song by a file name, I can get into itunes, and I can select the artist and get to the album folder, but I can rarely get the song title itself to appear, and even when it does, I get a message saying that I have not designated the proper path, and tells me to check the path.
Does anyone out there know how to break through past the artist and album name and load an itune into a powerpoint presentation through the "insert" and "movies and sounds" command features?
I can play the music through the CD player and do the slide show, but I want to put the music into the presentation so that I can put the whole thing into a CD.
Can anyone help? Thanks

You probably need to link directly to the music not going through iTunes. If the music is from iTunes store you will need to convert to mp3 first then link to the mp3 version.

Captivate 4 problems with audio import in powerpoint presentations

I am trying to import powerpoint presentations made in powerpoint 2003 which contain audio.
When I import them to captivate 4 I cannot hear the audion on each slide when I hit the play button.
Also, when I go to "Preview" "Play this slide (F3)" I get no audio.
If I "Preview" "Presentation" (F4) the audio plays very fast (like the "chipmunks").
If I "Preview" "From this slide (F8)" I get no sound.
If I "Preview" "The next 5 slides (F10)" I get no sound.
If I double click on the audio timeline and select the "audio" tab in the "Slide Properties" box and click the play button or edit the audio it plays normally.
I need to get this audio done ASAP. Is there anyone who knows what is going on?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Nathan-LMS,
      Can you test your course on SCORM cloud and confirm whether you observe the same behvaior on it? this will help us investigate specific to your LMS.
     1) Bookmark/resume on iPad (iOS 6) : Can you try the same course on SCORM cloud and let us know whether Bookmark/resume working fine or not? We could see this wroking at our end.
     2) Cross-domain AICC communication: Ping me on my mail id, I can provide you complete list of steps to make HTML5 content work in cross domain.
     3) Dual format publishing course plays only in IE9 or chrome 20(or above). Can you try it and let us know?
     4) Cross-platform bookmark/resume should work fine. Can you try the same scenario using SCORM cloud and let us know the behavior.
Any querries you can send me a mail to [email protected]
Thanks,

How do I get PowerPoint presentation to display properly without having PowerPoint?

Suggestions on how to get PowerPoint presentation to display properly aligned on MacBookPro? These are available for download as ppt, pps & pdf
Our co just came out with new presentations in PowerPoint. They are going toward iPad2, & suggest using Documents to Go on an iPad. But I'm trying to play the presentation on my MacBookPro 13" (April 2010), Snow Leopard. I have iWork & so it opens in Keynote which does not display it quite right. The alignment is off--it appears that the relationships between text boxes isn't quite the same. So there is a long table with arrows pointing to the totals at the bottom but the arrows are over the text.
I tried looking at it in Parallels 5 (Win 7) & it opened in Open Office. That looked better, but several slides aren't aligned right. They have horizontal lines between bullet points & the lines "creep" so that as it goes down the page the lines move up closer to the text & then on top of the text.
Not real up on PowerPoint or Keynote, but I'm guessing maybe the resolution or something is different that throws the alignment off. I am learning Keynote but had just dabbled with PowerPoint & of course had played slide shows created in PowerPoint that had been sent to me which usually didn't have as much text. Also if its just me looking at it, I can manage if it isn't lined up right, but to show to others, it needs to look
I need these to display properly since this is something to use with prospective clients. Also the presentation is designed so that different offices can select which slides they want to use. Our office is not using all of them. So I need to be able to select the slides as well as have them display properly.
Wondering if I could choose a power point reader with the pps to play it rather than having Keynote if that would work, but not sure how to do that.
I think the pdf displayed properly, but don't think I can select slides with that.
So how can I be able to select PowerPoint slides, & get them to display properly? At 1st I thought it might be that I didn't have the font used, but it shows as Trebuchet MS which also shows in my font list on the mac side.
I would prefer not to have to buy PowerPoint & would prefer to not have to use Parallels or Bootcamp, although I can if needed. I purchased Outlook 2007 for Windows which I used to use to sync with my old Win mobile phone. thankfully I was able to get rid of that & get an iPhone & now use the iLife aps rather than needing Outlook.
Also related to this presentation are related files that can be downloaded in either mp3 or mp4. I really don't know what the difference is or why choose one or the other.
Message was edited by: KathiMR

OK, I found what seems to work. That is to open the actual ppt version of the download (not the one that had already been opened & saved in Keynote) in Open Office. So I had to open Open Office & then navigate to the file to open it so that it didn't open in Keynote.
At a One to One training on Keynote where I asked for help with this today he noted that it showed that the presentation had been created in an older version of PowerPoint--apparently 2003 for Windows which could explain some of the issues.
Opening it in Open office it displayed mostly ok. There were 2 or 3 or so slides where I had to tweak horizontal lines between bullet points that had crept up so some where through the text rather than under it. So I just selected the lines & nudged them into position.
Its not perfect & for some reason, some of the lines seem a hair thicker than others (which I guess I could go back & figure out how to use the line thickness tool to adjust, but think I will leave well enough alone for now).
As near as I can tell, this seems to work about equally well doing this on the Mac side or in Parallels in Windows 7. So will stick with the Mac side.
This allows me to run the slide show with me controlling when the different bullet points, etc display. It didn't have any exotic animations or transitions--just rather plain vanilla ones.
