Exporting On Powerpoint


Looking to use your Powerpoint presentations for your digital signage? Here's a quick breakdown of the different ways to do it. Once you've got your content exported, all you need to do is drag and drop your content into your Screenfluence library and start displaying!

MAC OS


Export your presentation as a video

Beginning with PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 for Mac version 16.19.

  1. Click File > Export.
  2. On the File Format menu, select the video format that you want (MP4 or MOV).
  3. Select the video quality you want: Presentation Quality, Internet Quality, or Low Quality. The higher the video quality, the larger the file size.
  4. If you have recorded timings and want to use them in the video you create from your presentation, make sure the box next to Use Recorded Timings and Narrations is checked. You can also choose to set the amount of time the video will spend on each slide if you don't have a set timing.
  5. When you've made all your selections, choose Export.

Note: When you export your presentation as a video, any narrated audio that was recorded in Slide Show will play, but other embedded media files won't play.

After you've saved your presentation as a video, you can share it just as you would any other video, by using applications or devices that can open and play videos.

Export your slides as pictures

You can save one or more slides as pictures so that the recipient can view the slides in any application or device that works with pictures. Just make sure that you choose a picture format that the application or device can open.

Note: When your slides are converted to picture files, any transitions, animations, movies, or audio are removed from the presentation.

  1. Click File > Export.
  2. On the File Format menu, select the picture format that you want, such as JPEG or PNG.
  3. Select either Save Every Slide or Save Current Slide Only. You may also enter a size for your slide images in the Width and Height boxes.

If you choose to save every slide, your presentation will be saved as individual image files, one for each slide.

After you save your slides as pictures, you can share them just as you would any other picture file, by using applications or devices that can open pictures.

Export your presentation to PDF format

  1. Click File > Export.
  2. On the File Format menu, click, PDF.

After you save your slides as a PDF file, you can share them just as you would any other PDF file, by using applications or devices that can open PDF files.

WINDOWS

  1. On the File menu, select Save to ensure all your recent work has been saved in PowerPoint presentation format (.pptx).
  2. Click File > Export > Create a Video. (Or, on the Recording tab of the ribbon, click Export to Video.)
  3. In the first drop-down box under the Create a Video heading, select the video quality you want, which pertains to the resolution of the finished video. The higher the video quality, the larger the file size. (You may want to test them to determine which one meets your needs.)
  4. The second drop-down box under the Create a Video heading tells whether your presentation includes narration and timings. (You may switch this setting if you like.) If you haven't recorded timed narration, by default the value is Don't Use Recorded Timings and Narrations.

The default time spent on each slide is 5 seconds. You can change that timing in the Seconds to spend on each slide box. To the right of the box, click the up arrow to increase the duration, or click the down arrow to decrease the duration.

  1. If you have recorded a timed narration, by default the value is Use Recorded Timings and Narrations.
  2. Click Create Video.
  3. In the File name box, enter a file name for the video, browse for the folder that will contain this file, and then click Save.
  4. In the Save as type box, choose MPEG-4 Video.

You can track the progress of the video creation by looking at the status bar at the bottom of your screen. The video creation process can take up to several hours depending on the length of the video and the complexity of the presentation.
