Sometimes a requirement for converting a PowerPoint presentation as a movie occurs to export the presentation. PowerPoint 2010 comes with a lot of handy features and one of such feature is export presentations as movies while maintaining all effects and animations. The videos exported will be in Microsoft’s proprietary WMV format. However the videos can be exported in different resolutions keeping in mind the need to transfer the same over bandwidth restricted channels or on portable handheld devices. Videos can be exported in three predefined resolutions:

  1. Computers or HD screens (960×720)

  2. Internet or DVD (640×480)

  3. Portable media devices (320×240)

1. Navigate to Backstage view of PowerPoint.

  1. So true TC.We have to forgive so we can be forgiven. I have struggled with this in the past, but now i let my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ handle it. You have to let it go or it will prevent you from living the life the Lord wants us to live. God Bless.
