Converting PowerPoints to Videos

I was recently sent some information by a colleague about software that converts PowerPoints to video for Web uploads. This is particularly helpful to us because we are currently in the process of archiving everything we produced throughout 2009 because I work for a non-profit honoring a centennial that is now over. The software is called the Leawo PowerPoint to Video Pro and you can get a free version that does basically everything you need it to do. You can only convert the .ppt file into a .wmv file but that's fine for Web uploads.

The quality of the video isn't great, but that could just be because the type face on the presentation I converted wasn't large enough. But overall, this is a really awesome and easy way to make Web videos since most people are more familiar with PowerPoint than something like FinalCut Pro or iMovie. This is a really great way for organizations, especially non-profits that rely heavily yon presentations for funding and community involvement, to showcase these pieces to also create more dynamic Web content for FREE!
