Publishing to Video

Publishing to Video allows you to convert your presentation to an .mp4 file with all the PowerPoint effects accurately preserved in video format. You can either save a copy to your hard drive or hand out those copies.

1. Click Publish on the toolbar from the iSpring Suite tab in PowerPoint.
   
   
   
   
2. On the left side of the Publish Presentation window, click My Computer.
   
   
   
   
3. Enter the title of the video in the Project name field. By default, the tile is the same as name of the PowerPoint presentation.
   
   
   
   
4. Specify the local or network folder in which the course will be saved in the Folder field. To do this, click the Browse... button, navigate to the folder, and click Select Folder.
   
   
   
   
5. Select the Video format.
   
   
   
   
6. Then, set up output options: 
   
   • specify how the course behaves in a browser,
   • select the quality level of images, audio and video files, 
   • choose which slides you would like to publish (all or only the selected one),
   • specify the default duration for slides that don't have any times elements, such as audio, video, and animations.

   

   

   If you've specified the duration for each slide in the PowerPoint presentation or configured the animation effects to be played automatically, then this time will be taken into account in the final video. If your presentation consists of slides of different lengths, then adjust the duration of the slide show for each slide by specifying the time for changing slides in PowerPoint.

   If your presentation contains animations, transitions, we recommend that you use the following settings for each slide:

   1. Change the start option for each animation effect on the Animations tab in PowerPoint: choose Start With Previous or Start After Previous

   2. Set the Duration and Delay options of each effect (if necessary)

   3. Select the On Mouse Click check box on the Transitions tab to advance the slide when you click the mouse.

7. Click Publish to convert your presentation to a video file.

   

   
   

8. In the window which will open after the publishing process is done, the following options are available: 

   • view the material in a player installed on your PC as a default one,
   • open the video in a folder on your computer,
   • upload the content item to iSpring Cloud,
   • send the video presentation as an email attachment,
   • upload the material to an FTP server.
