To save your PowerPoint 2010 presentation as a video:
- On the File menu, click Save & Send.
- Under Save & Send, click Create a video.
- Click Create Video.
If you have PowerPoint 2007, there are a few more steps involved.
- Save your slides as a .jpg file.
- (Optional) If you have slideshow narration, you’ll want to output that audio file. To do this, save the PowerPoint presentation as a web page. The audio will output as a .wav file.
- Now you can import your image and audio files into Windows Movie Maker to create a video.
