My PowerPoint Presentation is a Video Now!? A Video Creation and Editing Tutorial

Tutorial Project Description:

This video tutorial will explore the video creation utilizations and functionalities of Microsoft PowerPoint

2010 and higher. With the importation of image and video files in Microsoft PowerPoint, the aspect of

organizing the transitions of the slides and animations of the images could enhance the effectiveness and

emphasis on the subject that exist in the created PowerPoint presentation. Those slides within the

PowerPoint presentation would be organized and prepped for possible video creations such as a slideshow

with embedded narrations, podcasts (slidecasting/vodcasting), and even an instructional tutorial on any

particular subject that could be learned from a distance.

Target Audience & Prerequisite Skills/Knowledge: There is no specific or targeted audience for this tutorial; however, instructors or trainers could utilize this

tutorial to enhance their instructional techniques while intertwining established subject matter and

curriculum. The skills and knowledge that will be addressed in this tutorial are basic computer and

internet skills with working knowledge of the interfacial locations of applications and hardware.

Tutorial Objectives:

By the end of this tutorial, participants will be able to…

Arrange Microsoft PowerPoint slides for sequence and transitions.

Create and manipulate the animation timings for text and images.

Convert Microsoft PowerPoint presentation files to video files.
