Without you, a chart or a few bullet points may leave viewers with questions. Turning a presentation to video adds the explanation they\u2019re missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide shows you how to convert a presentation to video with PowerPoint, Keynote, or Recastia\u2019s AI narration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use PowerPoint&#8217;s video export if your deck already has recorded narration, timings, or animations you want to include.<\/li>\n\n<li>Keynote on Mac can export a movie using a recorded slideshow or self-playing settings.<\/li>\n\n<li>Export slides as a PDF and use Recastia when you want to add AI narration to the slide content.<\/li>\n\n<li>A PDF does not carry over the original slideshow&#8217;s animations, recorded timings, or voice track. Add narration and configure playback in the video tool.<\/li>\n\n<li>Keep your editable presentation file so you can update charts, wording, and slide layouts later.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose How to Turn Your Slides Into a Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with the presentation you already have. If you have recorded an explanation and timed the slide changes, exporting from the same app avoids rebuilding that work. If you only have slides and want an AI voiceover, the PDF route gives you a starting point for a new narrated video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Your Starting Point<\/td><td>Route<\/td><td>What to Know<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PowerPoint with narration or animations<\/td><td>Export a video in desktop PowerPoint<\/td><td>Use the recorded narration and timings when exporting<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Keynote presentation on a Mac<\/td><td>Export as a movie<\/td><td>Choose the recorded slideshow or set automatic playback<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Slides that need AI narration<\/td><td>Export a PDF, then use Recastia<\/td><td>Create a new voiceover from the slide content<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a Google Slides deck, downloading a PDF gives you a file you can upload to Recastia. This also works with a PDF exported from PowerPoint or Keynote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Export a Video From PowerPoint<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In desktop PowerPoint for Windows, open File &gt; Export &gt; Create a Video. Choose the output quality and whether to use recorded timings and narration. If you have not recorded timings, set how long each slide should remain on screen. Create the video and save it as MPEG-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PowerPoint can include animations and transitions in the export. See <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/powerpoint\/turn-your-presentation-into-a-video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">PowerPoint video export options<\/a> for supported versions and media exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Export a Movie From Keynote<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Keynote on Mac, choose File &gt; Export To &gt; Movie. Select Slideshow Recording if you want to include an existing recording, or use self-playing settings for automatic playback. Choose the resolution and save the movie. <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-ke\/guide\/keynote\/tana0d19882a\/mac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Keynote movie export options<\/a> explain the available playback settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create a Narrated Video With <a href=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Recastia<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recastia adds AI narration to PDF slides. The workflow below starts with an editable presentation and ends with a video you can download. If your slides are already a PDF, begin with the upload step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-how-to wp-block-yoast-how-to-block\"><p class=\"schema-how-to-description\"><\/p> <ol class=\"schema-how-to-steps\"><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-765-1\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Export Your Slides as a PDF<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Save a copy of the slides you want to use. In Google Slides, choose File &gt; Download &gt; PDF Document. In PowerPoint or Keynote, use the PDF export option.<br\/><br\/>Export the slides themselves rather than a handout with several slides on each page. Leave out slides that only make sense during the live session, such as a break timer or a blank discussion prompt. Keep useful examples and diagrams.<br\/><br\/>Open the PDF before uploading it. An animated diagram becomes static in a PDF, so make sure the exported page shows the information viewers need. If your explanation depends on revealing items one at a time, use separate slides for those stages or choose the original app&#8217;s video export instead.<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-765-2\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Upload the PDF<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Open the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/pdf-to-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PDF to Video<\/a><\/strong> tool, choose a video template, and upload your exported PDF. Select the pages you want in the video when you configure it. For example, a short product introduction might use the overview, demonstration, and next-step slides while leaving the technical appendix in the original deck.<br\/><br\/><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/upload-presentation-recastia.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Upload PDF slides to Recastia\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/upload-presentation-recastia.webp 1280w, https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/upload-presentation-recastia-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/upload-presentation-recastia-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/upload-presentation-recastia-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/upload-presentation-recastia-18x10.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-765-3\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Choose How to Add Narration<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Select Easy Mode to work with one narration script for the video. Choose Advanced Mode when you want a separate script for each selected page. Minimal Mode creates a page carousel without narration.<br\/><br\/>For a lesson that explains a different concept on every slide, separate page scripts let you write the explanation beside the corresponding content. For a short overview, a single script may be enough.

Add details that you would normally explain aloud. For a chart, name the comparison and explain the result; reading the axis labels alone will not explain why the chart is there.<br\/><br\/>Choose a voice and decide whether to include an avatar. Enable subtitles if you want the spoken text displayed on the video. Select a visual effect and a ratio that suits your slides. A widescreen deck generally fits a 16:9 video without needing a portrait redesign.<br\/><br\/><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/configure-voiceover-effects.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Configure the voiceover and video appearance\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/configure-voiceover-effects.webp 1280w, https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/configure-voiceover-effects-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/configure-voiceover-effects-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/configure-voiceover-effects-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/configure-voiceover-effects-18x10.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-765-5\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Generate and Download the Video<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Generate the video, then play it through before downloading.

Turn those cues into explanations before generating the voiceover. Replace \u201cas we discussed earlier\u201d with the actual point, and explain any question that the presenter would normally answer in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep dense supporting information in a separate document. A video can show the main figures from a budget table while the original deck or PDF provides the complete breakdown. Include that document alongside the video so viewers can look up details without pausing on a small table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finish with a specific next step. A training video might direct viewers to complete an exercise; a product walkthrough might end with a link to setup instructions. Add those links to the page or message where you share the video, since viewers cannot click a hyperlink baked into a video frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-765-1\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do Speaker Notes Become Narration Automatically?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Do not assume so. A PDF of the slides may exclude the notes entirely. Copy any explanations you need into the narration script. If you export notes pages instead, the notes become part of the visible PDF layout rather than a separate voice track.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-765-2\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I Update the Slides After Exporting the Video?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, but editing the source presentation does not update an existing MP4. Make the changes in your presentation, then export or generate a new video. Keep the editable deck as the source for future revisions.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-765-3\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can Viewers Click Links in the Video?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Text and buttons visible in an MP4 are part of the picture, so the original slide hyperlinks are not clickable. Put important links in the video description, accompanying email, or webpage.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-765-4\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I Make the Video Without Recording My Voice?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Recastia can generate an AI voiceover from a script. You can use AI Copywriting to draft that script or write the explanation yourself. Minimal Mode is another option when you want slides to play without narration.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-765-5\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What Should I Check Before Using a Free Converter?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Check whether the free option includes a downloadable video, whether it adds branding, and whether it limits your project. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/pdf-to-video-converter-free\/215\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free PDF to video converter comparison<\/a><\/strong> explains the differences between the listed tools.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Converting a presentation to video gives you a way to share the explanation alongside the slides. Export from PowerPoint or Keynote when you want to use your existing recording. Choose the PDF and Recastia route when you want AI narration for the slide content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you convert your next presentation to video, save the editable deck and decide which slides need spoken explanation. That preparation gives you the source material for both the first video and future updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-efff9222 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-content-justification-space-between is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-851e12b3 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-radius:16px;background-color:#dce5ff;margin-top:32px;padding-top:24px;padding-right:28px;padding-bottom:24px;padding-left:28px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-weight:400\">Bring Your PDF to Life With Recastia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create, customize, and share your content in a more engaging way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/\" style=\"background-color:#4f68e8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Create With Recastia<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how to convert a presentation to video with AI in 5 steps.

In Google Slides, choose File > Download > PDF Document. In PowerPoint or Keynote, use the PDF export option.Export the slides themselves rather than a handout with several slides on each page. Leave out slides that only make sense during the live session, such as a break timer or a blank discussion prompt. Keep useful examples and diagrams.Open the PDF before uploading it. An animated diagram becomes static in a PDF, so make sure the exported page shows the information viewers need.
