PowerPoint High Quality Video Export (1080p)

Anonymous

For years I have been using Microsoft PowerPoint as a powerful and professional presentation and animation software.

It seems to me, that its capabilities are widely underestimated, to say the least. Perhaps even by its own developers.

I'd like to know where I can find advanced video export settings in PowerPoint 2013.

Currently, the possibilities are quite limited, with an export resolution of 1280x720 being the maximum; the framerate leaves much to be desired as well.

Is there a free, convenient way of producing an HD quality video (including all the animations) without quality loss, using any Microsoft Office program?

Thank you for your support.

Arne is working in C# in DotNet which if you are not a coder isn't going to work for you.

Try:

This assumes the presentation in 16:9

Open the vb editor (ALT f11)

INSERT > Module and paste in the code below

Sub MkVideo()

If ActivePresentation.CreateVideoStatus <> ppMediaTaskStatusInProgress Then

ActivePresentation.CreateVideo FileName:=Environ("USERPROFILE") & "\Desktop\test.wmv", _

UseTimingsAndNarrations:=True, _

VertResolution:=1080, _

FramesPerSecond:=25, _

Quality:=100

Else: MsgBox "There is another conversion to video in progress"

End If

End Sub

Go back to the normal edit window VIEW > Macros > RunIt may take quite a while!

The video will be on the desktop called test.wmv

I tried using this code for a 20.5 second video. it ended up being 5 seconds long, and I don't know how to fix that. I sort of understood some of the code without knowing javascript, and changed the FPS to 40 and the name of the file to "New Ending 5(Final).wmv" (I have a beefy computer) did I do something wrong? is there something wrong w/ your if-else code? What really confused me is why there isn't a value for the amount of time the video is like "time=5" or however you do it in java/javascript. I have tried on other videos and all have ended up being EXACTLY 5 seconds long. I really want to fix this.

EDIT: NEVER MIND I fixed while looking around the code. it said "use set timings" basically (at least I think, I mean The only programming language i've even started to learn it html) so I set the timings to the CORRECT timing and it worked. full quality and everything.

Did you manage to solve it?

Any way to control the timing of each slide?

Did you manage to make it use the timings defined in the presentation?

Thank You.

Is there a way to create MP4 file (Which compression will be used?)?

I want to have 30FPS and MPEG-4 based compression.

Thank You.
