BeeR Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I have about a 30MB powerpoint I want people to be able to access online. Youtube can't do it no matter what format I use (.ppt, .pps, .xml, etc). Anyone know a way ie w/o paying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zooty Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Photobucket but you may have to make them jpg first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Thx but near as I can see, Picasa = photobucket = snapfish etc. No slideshow capability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrobn26 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Thx but near as I can see, Picasa = photobucket = snapfish etc. No slideshow capability. They all have probably have slide shows, but no auto convert from PP. You need to upload jpg's.

BeeR Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Yeah I can make a makeshift slideshow, but really wanted a .PPT as this has music that goes with. But thx the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitansFan Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Google Docs I just created a test presentation and imported some powerpoint slides to it, and it worked perfectly fine. I didn't have any bells and whistles though, so I'm not sure how well that'll carry over. You need a gmail account, but if you don't have one you can quickly make one.

BeeR Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Looks like it's not carrying over the sound but thx for the idea. I whittled it down under 25MB which gmail lets me send, but almost everyone I send it to has email which wont' allow. And I think this is just too big to be allowed online anywhere. Oh well again thx for the ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 if exporting the slides out as jpegs to a photo sharing site doesn't work for you (since you have music or whatever and you want to make it 'just so'), you might consider making it a video and then uploading that to a tube site. maybe with windows movie maker or something. there are plugins and such for automating that process (ppt->video), but you may not have those and would therefore have to spend some time recreating the slideshow in the movie utility. but it would work pretty well for what it sounds like you're trying to do.

Definitely this. I've done quite a few of these in premiere (where you can make them move-on-stills, i.e., moving pictures), but for the amateur you're not going to find a better/cheaper way to do it than Windows movie maker.

BeeR Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Thanks but again appears you can't carry over audio and didn't find any free (key word, free) plugins that would help me do this. I created a project in MS Producer but don't see how to get that into Movie Maker. Edited October 24, 2011 by BeeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I don't know if the free options (like this) are worth a damn, but some sort of screen recording software might be your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, keep in mind, thx. Push comes to shove I can get by just uploading to snapfish or whatever but just t'aint the same w/o the audio. Haven't given up on Producer/Movie Maker yet though, just stopped for today. Again appreciate the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 maybe the innerwebs hate you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 I think they hate powerpoint. There is supposedly a way to use MS Producer to make the show and convert or put into Movie Maker, haven't given up yet, but not seeing yet...you would think PPT would have some video making "save as" option by now.

lennykravitz2004 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Who do you innernets through? For example, I'm with Charter, and I get "x" amount of free webpage space and network traffic to that page(s). PPT has a "save as" option for web page, using the publish button (I'm using office 07). You could then upload the file to your ISP-based free website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Thought of that but it's too big and if I save it off as .xml or .mht etc, it makes it even bigger. Know of a free site that won't choke on 30-40MB+ .PPTs that will allow an upload and download of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennykravitz2004 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) http://www.effectmatrix.com/PowerPoint-Vid...o-Converter.htm then I found this... check out step 2 http://www.labnol.org/software/tutorials/c...e-ppt-dvd/2978/ How to Convert PowerPoint Presentations to Video This step-by-step guide illustrates how to convert a PowerPoint slide-show into video so you can distribute presentations more easily: 1. You can upload PowerPoint videos to YouTube, Facebook, etc. and some of your creations could go viral. 2. You can transer PowerPoint slides to an iPod or a mobile phone and enjoy the presentations while on the move even without a PowerPoint viewer app. 3. If your slideshow is like a photo album with lot of images, convert the PowerPoint to video and burn onto a DVD - you can now watch the presentations on a large TV screen. The possibilities are endless. PowerPoint files converted to video using this technique also preserve all the voice narrations. And as expected, the total cost is $0. Related: Convert PowerPoint Slides to DVD Quality Video How to convert PowerPoint into Video for YouTube or iPod All you need a copy of Microsoft PowerPoint (any version), the PPT file, a webcam or microphone (if you want to record audio) and Internet access. OK, let's get started: Step 1: Open your PPT presentation file inside PowerPoint and switch to Slide Show menu to setup the exact time duration for each slide. You have two choices here: a) Use Record Narration if you want to include audio in your presentations. Record your voice as your move through the slides and say yes when you are prompted to save the changes. Use Rehearse Timings for silent PowerPoint videos. This option lets you define how long a slide should display on the screen before the presentation move to the next slide. Step 2: Now go to authorstream and upload the PPT file you saved in Step 1. AuthorStream is a PowerPoint hosting service where you can upload PowerPoint files as large as 1 GB. Step 3: When you are done uploading the PPT file to the web, Author Stream will convert the PowerPoint file into a MPEG4 video (mp4) that can be directly uploaded to YouTube or you can watch it on an iPod. This process may take some time but you'll get an email notification as soon as your PowerPoint video is ready for download from the web. The conversion is not instant but definitely worth the wait. And the quality of video created from PPT files is brilliant. There's more - other than converting PPT to video, AuthorStream will also create a video podcast version of your presentation that can be directly imported into iTunes. This could a good opportunity for educators who have piles of PPT files on their computer that can be shared with the world. If you have the budget, you can use a screen recording application like Camtasia Studio to record PowerPoint presentations as video on your desktop. Free screencasting software like Camstudio may also also record PPT playback but I think the above method is simpler as it takes care of conversion as well as video hosting.
