Save Your Presentation as a Video File
Follow these steps to turn your slides into a video file that you can upload to Fectar:
Step 1: Prepare Your Presentation
- Finalize your slides and add any animations, narrations, and laser pointer gestures you want to include in your video.
- Save your presentation as a PowerPoint file (.pptx) to ensure your work is saved.
Step 2: Export as a Video
Go to the File menu in PowerPoint.
Select Export > Create a Video. Alternatively, you can use the Recording tab and click Export to Video.
Step 3: Choose Video Quality
In the Create a Video section, choose the quality that matches your intended use case for Fectar. We recommend HD (720p) with 1280 x 720
Step 4: Set Timings and Narrations
- If you recorded narrations and timings: PowerPoint will use these by default. 🎨 Tip: If you want to add a holopresenter to a presentation (like in a Virtual Table Top Event) play the Holopresenter’s audio while recording your PowerPoint movie to ensure they’re perfectly in sync.
- If you didn’t record narrations: Select Don't Use Recorded Timings and Narrations and set a default slide timing in the Seconds to spend on each slide box. Adjust this duration using the arrows next to the box.
Step 5: Create the Video
- Click Create Video.
- Choose a file name and select a folder where your video will be saved.
- In the Save as type drop-down, select MPEG-4 Video (.mp4).
- Click Save.
Step 6: Monitor the Video Creation Process
- A progress bar will appear at the bottom of the screen.
- Video creation can take some time depending on the length and complexity of your presentation. For lengthy videos, consider creating the video overnight.
Step 7: Upload Your Video to Fectar
Once your video is ready:
- Locate the saved video file on your computer.
- Upload the video to Fectar Studio and integrate it into your XR space.
- Use Fectar's interactive tools to add buttons, hotspots, or additional media for an enhanced experience.
Tips for Success
- Test your video before uploading to ensure animations and timings play correctly.
- For interactive content, combine your video with Fectar's no-code features like 3D models and interactive buttons.
