Question by latina_peru: help on making small slideshow type videos……?
i have a canon hf100…I have many clips made that I can trim and I want to put them togethter, but instead of being all crammed together, I wanted a sort of powerpoint type of effect where you can have it go black with some text that explains the next clip or says something funny about it. Sort of like the old movies like charlie chaplin stuff where there’d be a black screen with the words…
the only software I’ve found that does it (or at least I have found out how to) is windows movei maker but unfortunatly the audio and video never end up syncing up even though I trim the clips exactly how they should be (lots of ppl have been having this problem with OS of windows 7 and working with avchd files…..)
so I’ve tried avs and corel trials but I can add text but it doesn’t allow me to add it as its own entitiy and have its own time…it adds it on top of the video…which isn’t what I want…
please help me out..its driving me crazy because its a pretty common thing people do and I know there has to be a successful way.
thanks

Hi, friend. If you are to make a video-like powerpoint slideshow, you can try these 2 methods:
1. Use Windows Movie Maker.
Save each slide in the PowerPoint presentation as picture and then move to Windows Movie Maker for editing. Details:
a. In MS PowerPoint, go to File -> Save as. Choose a picture format from on the “Save as type” option.
b. Then select “Every slide” in the following prompt dialog. You will see a hint pop up, saying “Each slide in your presentation has been saved as a separate file in the folder: ***”.
c. Open the folder to get all the exported pictures.
d. Finally, import all these pictures into Windows Movie Maker. Add in the song before converting to video.
The sound in your original presentation will get lost when saving as pictures, so you have to re-add it in Windows Movie Maker.
That’s the same problem you met.
Then you can try this alternative:
2. Convert PowerPoint presentations to video with third-party conversion software.
To retain everything of your presentation, use a conversion tool like Moyea PPT to video Converter, free trial at http://www.dvd-ppt-slideshow.com/ppt-to-video/
Convert it to a video (WMV, MPEG, AVI, etc).Three steps:
a. Import a PowerPoint presentation;
b. Choose an output video format;
c. Start conversion.
The sound and other effects in your powerpoint remain in the converted video, needless of re-adding in to the converter.
Hope that helps!
