Great video. I only have one extra tip. I make two passes. I add the slides and my verbal coments first, that way they match time wise. Then I save the video at the best quality. Now load the finished video and the sound track is now already included with the video part. You can then add "MORE" sound to the video on the extra track. This way you can have the music playing in the background while you are talking. You can split the music and lower it in the places while you are talking.

@StudentOfCreation Hello there. Thank you for the feedback. I usually use Photostory to make my movies if I want to include soundtrack and voice-over. I sent you a direct message to your YouTube inbox with the links of where you can find step by step instructions on how to use Photostory. I appreciate your feedback. :)

Maryna: Since my last comment I have started to look at Photostory 3, which can be used with Powerpoint as well as moviemaker and the narration is so much easier than Audacity besides, they are all part of the Microsoft group, besides, it lets you use the panning feature. I have tried to add one of my videos where I use all the feautures. Please check it out and let me know what you think. Maybe you can make a video about it??

@Bernie1927 I tried giving you info of where you can find step by step instructions on how to make videos out of PowerPoint presentations, using Photostory, it is on my web page. I got error messages the whole time, so I sent you a message instead, with the links to my blog. Please look in your YouTube inbox for my message. (If anyone else wants the links, please leave comments here so I can message you as well.) Thanx for the feedback. :)

why does the animation in ppt doesnt work in movie maker?

[MarynaBaden]

@jickexha8 Hi there. No animation will work when you change the slides into images. If you want to retain the animations, use Slideshare (Google Slideshare to get the link) to upload your PowerPoints, but then you have it in Slideshare, not on YouTube. It will be a slideshow online, not a movie. Hope that helps. :)

@MarynaBaden Well crafted video. I used to use Camtasia Studio for this purpose but now i think there is no need waste so much money for that software, I can do it for free. Thanks!!
