A video presentation is quite convenient when you can't attend a meeting which you are supposed to. If there is no Q&A session, you can even go to sleep since the video presentation can say everything for you. And if you are too shy to speak in public, making a video presentation and playing it in front of everyone else is a way to save you.

However, many people don't know how to make a video presentation. That's why we write this article - to show you how to make a video presentation, or how to record the whole process of your presentation as a playable video. Read the whole article and find a proper way.

Advantages of a Video Presentation Compared to a Typical One

As a video presentation contains images, graphics, and texts combined with narration and sound effects, people can illustrate information more easily than they do with a slide. There are some other advantages, let's have a look.

  • More audience: A video presentation can be posted online to reach a broader range of viewers.
  • More persuasive: Videos rely on audio-visual storytelling, people retain better the information they glean from videos, making them more convincing.
  • Less awkwardness: People who are afraid of speaking in public can avoid the awkwardness of standing on the stage.
  • Relationship building: People are more likely to trust you and build a relationship with you through in-person interaction. A video can be seen as a kind of face-to-face interaction.

Part 1. Make a Video Presentation with PowerPoint

Since many of us present with a slide, if you don't need narration for this video, the easiest way to make a video presentation is to save your PowerPoint slides into a video format. But if you need narration, you can record your voice before saving the slide as a video. Here's what you need to do to make a video presentation with PowerPoint:

Step 1. Open the presentation, go to "File" on the PowerPoint toolbar and select "Export" to view the export options.

Step 2. In the "Export" menu, select "Create a Video". Then you can choose to add a narration to the presentation or not.

Step 3. In the drop-down menu, choose to export the presentation "with narration" (you've already recorded it) or "without". If you want to record a narration at this point, click "Record Timings and Narration".

Step 4. Set the duration of each slide. Manage the speed of the demonstration in the small drop-down menu.

Step 5. Click on the "Create video" button to start downloading your slides as a video.

Part 2. Make a Video Presentation with EaseUS RecExperts

PowerPoint can convert a PPT slide into a video with narration, but if you want people to see you in the video, you may record the camera when you are presenting a PPT slide.

This tool allows capturing the internal and external sound together or separately. Therefore, you can turn off the microphone when you don't want your voice or the environment noise to be recorded.

  • Export the video in many different formats
