Playing with Power Point 2010 and YouTube
I’m working with the new Power Point 2010 to see just how much it can do before I have to move to other software to complete my project. In this exercise I’m playing with some of its updated publishing features to see how good an HD video I can get and then uploading that to YouTube. Power Point creates a .wmv file in sizes up to 1280×720. I had the slides set for 16×9 format for the videos you see here.
Its really too bad that Microsoft didn’t include the ability to create mp4 files as one of their options. Its what most of us doing internet video need. Playing the slide show full screen in Power Point produces an excellent video. Even the .wmv file played on my local computer looks good, but its a got big file. 13mb. By the time I upload the video to YouTube and it works its magic as you see below… it appears to me that we’re losing about 20-25% of the orginal quality. The gradient fills provided in PPT really break down when pushed to HD.
