Upload a PowerPoint presentation

Upload a PowerPoint presentation

You can easily import slides presentations into ScreenPal and turn them into videos. Before you can import a Microsoft PowerPoint, iOS keynote presentation, or other slides presentation, you must save it to your computer as a PDF.  Once you have done this, follow the steps below to import the PDF.

Importing a Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation

1. Click the Storyboard button at the top of the Project Manager.


2. Select the Storyboard option.
3. Click Start from a PDF.


4. From File Explorer, select the PDF you would like to import and then click Open.

Result: The PDF is displayed in storyboard format. Each page of the PDF is displayed in a separate section and each section is given three seconds of video duration by default. If you add narration or a webcam recording, this time adjusts to accommodate your content.

You don't need to upload your slides to record a presentation with narration.  Just follow the steps below to record your presentation with narration!

Set up PowerPoint for recording your screen while running the PowerPoint presentation. 

We recommend that you do not open your PowerPoint presentation in full-screen mode, as this makes it harder to capture.
  1. Within the PowerPoint application, from the ribbon (or menu bar in earlier versions) click Slide Show.
  2. Select Set Up Slide Show.
  3. In the Set Up Show window, select Browsed by an individual (window) and then click OK to close the dialog.

Now when you run the presentation, it will be displayed in a window that you can easily resize and capture using our recorder.  You can now use the screen recorder to record the PowerPoint slideshow in the resizable window.
