PowerPoint with Sound into iMovie

I have Power Point presentations I made with voice over recordings. If I save to QT, I lose the sound. I don't really want to have to record these presentations yet again. (I started with Keynote but the timing was off so I changed to recording with Power Point for Mac). I know how to save the slides and import them to iMovie (save as image) but how do I do that with the sound files? I can't even find the sound files to save them separately.
I used to be able to do this with Windows but when I bring the presentations to my Windows machine and save the way I know how to maintain the sound files, it doesn't save them. I assume that PPT for Mac saves them in a different format than the Windows PPT version. Please help. TIA.

Have you tried...
in PowerPoint
FILE/SAVE AS MOVIE...
Movie Options... choose your soundtrack.
That will give you an .mov file.
If it will not import into iMovie, see if there are tween tracks, closed captioning tracks, or text tracks and delete them with QuickTime Pro.
Come back if you have more questions, or if this does not make sense.
This is easier in Keynote. You just set up the presentation as a timed advance (not manual advance) when you export the movie. This will keep the "bad" tracks out so you don't need QuickTime Pro.

  • MPEGs with sound in iMovie

    Well I have a digital camera that records movies with sound, but when I try to import them into iMovie they end up with no sound. The help manual says that MPEGs wont work with sound in iMovie. So I was wondering, is there anyway to convert my MPEG movies into somthing iMovie compatible for sound like a .mov or DV. I've tried many products but they all seem to convert the video and leave the sound out just like iMovie does? Please help me.

  • Importing a powerpoint/quicktime movie into imovie

    can someone tell me what i am doing wrong: when i import a powerpoint/quicktime movie into imovie the background goes orange... and i cannot get it to go white again... help! please!

    Thanks for the link. We still had a the problem, but we found a woork around. It seem that if the power point has any sound in it then it only imports the sound. So we took all the sound out and then it imported fine. Then we put the sound back in and imported that so that then we had the sound effects. Any way it works! Thanks!

  • Why can't I import sound with video into iMovie from digital camera?

    This is disturbing. I have a digital video camera that took great video + sound. I import into iMovie (using my DV cable that came with the camera) and get video but no sound.
    Now, in the past the sound came in, but no longer. Any and all advise is requested. I have to make number videos of lectures starting Wednesday evening and have to be able to provide video with audio.
    Thanks.

    Try importing video shot with the camera's internal
    microphone. If that doesn't work either, the mic is
    not the problem.
    I have no problem importing sound with video when using the internal video camera mic. No problem (other than sound quality issues with the speaker being 40 feet away from the camera's internal mic!
    But I can play back the video made with the external mic in the camera and the sound is stunningly clear, crisp and loud. It's just a matter of getting it out of the camera into my Mac. I don't think it's the microphone; it must be the computer.
    I just find it sad to believe that Apple's software is so limited--even in Final Cut Express HD.

  • Powerpoint Jpeg Export into iMovie

    Does anyone know how export more high res images out of powerpoint? For example, when I export the slides to jpegs/individual slides and bring them into iMovie, the images aren't as crisp as they are in original slideshow.
    There is a lot of talk on the windows side of things that says by default Powerpoint exports the slide as 96 dpi. Looks like there is a registry change to get it up to 300 dpi, but once again this is for Windows.
    Using powerpoint:mac 2011 and iMovie '09. Didn't know where to submit this question so started here.
    Thoughts? Anyone? Bueller?

    DPI (dots per inch) isn't used by video editors and only the file dimension is important.
    DPI is used by printer software.

  • Import Dvd made with Studio into iMovie?

    Hello,
    I switched from Pinnacle Studio 9.x to iMovie. Now I want to remake a homemade DVD with iMovie. On the DVD are the following maps: Audio_Ts and Video_TS.
    I haven't succeded in importing this DVD into iMovie. Is there a simple way to do this or does it mean a difficult workaround?

    Hello,
    Sorry. Only after I had posted this item I found yhe answer : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2255575?start=0&tstart=0
    I think this is too complex for me; I will make a new movie by importing this from my original tape and make a new project.
    Thank you for helping me.

  • Exporting a slideshow made with iDVD into iMovie

    Is it possible to export a slideshow that was created using iDVD into iMovie 08 so it can be modified?
    Thank you.

    Think of the i-Apps (or more specifically iMovie and iDvd) as a candy bar. Essentially, iDvd is to iMovie what the candy wrapper is to a candy bar. It's simply the exterior packaging of the movie you made in iMovie (or whatever video app you choose to edit in).
    Hence iDvd was not designed to edit video content. We normally reserve this task of editing for the video app/s like iMovie, FCE, or FCP. Therefore, it's much easier (and sequential) to go from the other i-apps to iDvd than it is the other way around.
    In a word, No.
    We don't export slideshows from iDvd to iMovie.... At least not normally.
    But we do share/export QT content/movies from iMovie, iPhoto, GB, FCE, FCP, QT Pro, etc. to iDvd.

  • Import PowerPoint with animations into Captivate 4 ?

    Can anyone let me know if it is possible to import a PowerPoint presentation into Captivate 4 AND keep all the PowerPoint animations exactly as created in the original PowerPoint ?
    If this is not possible, what are the options ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Noel

    Hi Noel
    I think the PowerPoint to Captivate conversion is a mixed bag. Mostly, I believe folks will be disappointed with the process.
    Certain animations seem to survive the conversion and others seem to fail. But the bottom line here is that we are taking a file created by a Microsoft application, sucking it into an Adobe application and expecting the result to work without a hitch. And I'm not sure how often we will see this work flawlessly. I mean, it's not unlike removing an engine from a Fiat and expecting it to seamlessly bolt up and work in a Volvo. There will be stumbling blocks.
    To be honest, I'm amazed it works as well as it does.
    The only way I'm aware of to create a Captivate that behaves exactly as the PowerPoint behaves is to present the PowerPoint show in a window. Then use Captivate to surround the window and record it using FMR as the PowerPoint does its thing. Any other way is likely going to result in having to fudge things here and there and tweak them to make them work as desired. Possibly even re-creating things here and there in Captivate.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Says I can't import recorded sound into iMovie because I the files don't have iLife preview

    Hi,
    I am trying to either record sound directly onto iMovie to use as a voiceover or record on Garageband and then import it to iMovie. I have not found a way to record on iMovie, so I was trying to do it on garageband, but when I try to open the file on iMovie, it says I can not because it does not have iLife preview. I have a new Macbook Pro with Retina Display.
    Thank you!

    Hi avalewinter,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to record a voiceover directly in iMovie. To accomplish this, please use the instructions located in the attached article.
    iMovie (2013): Add audio and music
    Record a voiceover
    You can record your own narration to add to your movie.
    Position the playhead where you want to start recording in the timeline, and choose Window > Record Voiceover.The voiceover recording controls appear below the viewer.
    To adjust the recording settings, do any of the following:
    To change the input device: Click the Voiceover Options button, and choose an option from the Input Source pop-up menu.
    To adjust the input level of the microphone: Click the Voiceover Options button, and drag the Volume slider right to increase the volume of what is being recorded, or left to decrease it. You can monitor the audio levels by using the built-in audio meter on the Record button. You should set the volume so that the audio meter in the microphone (the Record button) stays green, even when your voice is at its loudest.
    To mute sound from other clips while recording: Click the Voiceover Options button, and select the Mute Project checkbox.
    To start recording, click the Record button.
    To stop recording, click the Record button again (or press the Space bar).The recorded audio appears as a new clip in the timeline, above the background music. The voiceover clip is attached to the clip that was below the playhead when the recording was started. The track is named VO: Movie Name - Date, where “Movie Name” is the name of your movie, and “Date” is the date of the recording.
    Click the close button to dismiss the voiceover recording controls.
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • Can't open my video files from my camera/SD card with sound into premiere pro or any software. HELP!

    I am on an OS X 10.7.5 and whenever I pug in either my Panasonic HC-V720 or the SD card I can't seem to find the private video file, I get folders like the picture bellow instead.
    I have tried in a different computer running a newer version of OS X and the private file appears instead. I can't seem to get my videos up on premiere pro CS6 with the sound I only get the image/video by importing the .mts files.
    Does anyone know what to do?

  • HT3698 Keynote to Powerpoint with sound

    I have to submit a project in the power point format.  I can't submit a quicktime movie.  I only have Keynote, so I created the project in it.  Now I can't get it converted to Powerpoint and keep the narration with it.  Any solution?

    Keynote 6 cant export to PowerPoint which contains a narration.
    This might be changed in future updates but no one knows yet.
    I have to use PowerPoint for Mac to get this done.

  • Can't import audio from .mov into iMovie 10.0.3

    When importing a .mov file with sound into iMovie 10.0.3, the audio does not import with the video. I have no sound. The file plays and sounds fine on the desktop. What am I doing wrong?

    Hello John,
    Check out the first article for some troubleshooting steps to see if anything is preventing the audio from playing properly. Also try using QuickTime to convert the video in a different format and then import it into iMovie to see if that changes things.
