How to Make Presentations to Video on Mac

Generally, Mac users don't have Microsoft apps, and offering them a video file will not require the users to hassle for the ways to access it. There is not much that you need to do and the process is quite straightforward. It's understood that if you are making a presentation on Mac, you have already installed the PowerPoint application and the app itself will allow you to record the video using the integrated tools.

Before you dive into the steps that we are going to mention here, you need to know that the 2016 version of PowerPoint Mac will not support this feature. Let's dive into the steps without any further adieu.

• Once you are done creating the presentation, you will need to go to the File tab from the taskbar. Here, you will get a range of options to create/open/close/save the existing or new presentations.
• Click on the Export button. There will also be a Save As… option; it will not give you the option to get the presentation in MOV format.
• As you will hit Export, there will be a new dialog box with multiple options and formats you can save it in. On the top, you will need to enter the title for the presentation followed by the relevant tags and the destination path.
• Below that, you will need to click on the drop-down menu for the File Format option. Based on the application version you are using, you will get options, Mp4 or MOV. If you aren't seeing anything like this, check the Requirements section of the app.
• Next up, you will need to choose the video quality. Right below the File Format, users will get the Quality tab. Microsoft PowerPoint will offer you three options, Presentation Quality, Internet Quality, and the last one with Low Quality. All the options are in chronological order in terms of the final export size.
• The interface will also allow you to extend or set the video length as per the parameters you have set in the presentation. However, if you don't want to use those parameters in the video format, you can also set the time that you want each slide to stay on.
  (Using the set parameters will also add all the narrations that you have used in the presentation.)
• Once everything is set, hit Export. It will make sure that you have successfully converted PowerPoint to video with narration.

• As you will click on this option, it will give you a new dialog box. Here, the interface will give you a drop-down menu to select the quality. Select the output quality you want to export in. The resolution will be mentioned right next to the options. The highest will be Presentation Quality and the lowest will be Low Quality with 852*480 pixels.
• Right below, the interface will ask you to set the video length. You can do it easily by setting the output to use the configured narrations and timing. If you do not want to use this option, click on Don't Use Recorded Time & Narrations.
• Once selected the ‘Don’t Use…’ option, you will get to set the time you want each slide to stay on.
• Hit Create Video and a new dialog box will appear up. Here, you will need to select the destination path of the file. Along with it, you will also get to name the video as per your liking.
