Using power point images

hbwerner wrote on 2/26/2006, 9:43 AM

I have a video of a lecture showing the lecturer, and a CD with the powerpoint slide presentation (graphics and photos). I want to incorporate those images in the video, but don't know how to get them there. I can right click each photo and copy it to disk as a jpg, with loss of captions and pages which are graphics. Plus it will be time consuming with about 50 photos plus redoing the captions and graphics pages. Is there any better way to do this?

You could try showing the slide in powerpoint, then hitting the "prt sc" key on your keyboard (which will capture the screen to the clipboard), then invoke something like Paint, and paste the clipboard into paint to save it out as a jpeg.

I am *not* a Power Point expert by any means. I've barely ever used the program. But I did have to do something similar one time, and with my version (Office 2003) it gave me an option to save all the slides automatically, at one time.

1. Click "File" >> "Save As..." >>
2. In "save as type" select .png (lossless format) or .jpeg, etc.
3. Click "Save"

In my 2003 version of PowerPoint, a window then pops up that says:

"Do you want to export every slide in the presentation or only the current slide?"

You can then select from "Every Slide", "Current Slide Only", or "Cancel".

If you click on "Every Slide", it automatically saves them in a new folder as separate files with sequentially numbered file names "Slide1.png", "Slide2.png", etc. The saved image should have all the titles, captions, etc. just like you see when running the slide show.
