PowerPoint is indeed a great software to create slideshows, or a presentation of slides to put it more correctly. We however believe there is a subtle difference between slideshow and presentation of slides if only because while slideshow can be better shown off with the help of JavaScript among other options, presentation of slides is without doubt the domain of PowerPoint.
Yet, for all that it can do for you PowerPoint to video is immensely more powerful to create if you let loose your imagination. Indeed some of the ‘designer’ flash movies you come across are made in PowerPoint before they are packed off as embeddable flash files.
If you ask us, the 3 big strengths to consider PowerPoint to video are:
- It helps you create an enchanting array of animations
- It helps you fix the exact time you want a slide or an effect to last before the next one comes in
- It allows you to embed external video and audio clips as part of presentation
Considering that these 3 features are mainly used by professionals, the biggest strength of PowerPoint can be then said to be the ease with which even the first-timers can start making slides right away.
There are sites that host PowerPoint presentations – some free, some offering paid services. So all you need is to send/upload your presentation there and the rest is taken care of by the host site.
On the other hand if you want your presentation to be rich with animations, have external video clips, have control on adjusting the dimensions of the final presentation so as to accommodate it niftily at a corner of your webpage, you have to create/convert it into a video format – an MP4 for example.
These are some technical pros and cons you need to pay attention to when you want to get more out of PowerPoint than what the usual practice is.
