Since then I have used a product called CAMTASIA, now rev 5 I think - and not free - and I found it easy to use and loaded on customer computers much faster.</p> <p>The other thing you can do is to record your PPT slides using a screen recorder, on PC I use WME9 (free!). I recommend a small screen resolution and don't add audio - leave that for the program you render out in. WME9 will make videos of your slides but is NOT good with fade and disolve transitions.</p> <p>And yet another alternative is to make your PPT slide show, save screen prints of each slide in a graphics program, and build the slide show in video program.</p> <p>I have a PPT producer slide show at <a href="http://www.bmidd.com/samples/ppp/ttexcerpt.htm">http://www.bmidd.com/samples/ppp/ttexcerpt.htm</a> . I have no trouble viewing it (other than it takes FOREVER to load) but you may wish to see if it works for you - maybe there is some tweaking you need to do to your web browser.</p> <p>bruce</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/producer-for-powerpoint-help-request#post-43822 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 16:05:44 +0000 docscholl 43822@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Looking for help with "Producer for PowerPoint".</p> This is free software (full name: "Microsoft Producer for PowerPoint 2003") which allows me to sync video with PowerPoint slides.<br />I use it often to upload WMV videos to our web.<br />It works well on my PC, but I'm having issues when using it on my iMac (details, below).</p> <p>Two questions:<br />1.<br />Is there ANYTHING out there for sale that does this as well or better?<br />2.<br />Does anyone else use this software on the PC-side of their Mac?<br />If so, have you had any problems...and how did you resolve them?</p> <p>Details of iMac (PC-side) issue with "Producer":<br />After dropping in PPT and publishing the presentation, you get a prompt to review the video on Internet Explorer.<br />When I select to view, the video plays without problem, but the PPT slides are not visable and I get an error message where the slides should be.</p> <p>Additional info:<br />iMac used is running Windows XP, and Producer version 2.0.1  </p>
