"Do you know how to get individual PowerPoint slides into a video?"

PowerPoint’s part in the process is simple. As with many solutions, it’s knowing where to look that stumps most people.

People tend to think in “exporting” terms when a task like this arise — we want to export data from one application to another. Unfortunately, you can’t do that in PowerPoint.

What users can do is save individual slides as separate files.

When you want to use a slide in another medium, save the slide in a compatible format. e.g. to drop a slide into a video, users need to first save the slide as an image file. Fortunately, that is straight forward...

• From the File menu, choose Save As. (In PowerPoint 2007, click the Office button and choose Save As).
• In the resulting Save As dialog box, locate a folder for saving the new image file.
• Give the new image a name.

Now, here is the important part...

• From the Save As Type dropdown list, choose an image format

• .gif,
• .jpg, and so on i.e. one that’s compatible with your video software.

• Click Save.
  PowerPoint will ask you if you want to save...
  • just the selected slide or
  • all of the slides in the presentation

respond accordingly.

• Once you have the slide(s) in an image file format, simply follow your video software’s specifications for inserting the image file.
