Do you have to prepare many PowerPoint presentations for your work? Or are you a public speaker? Have you ever thought that it’s a pity that only a few listened to your talk that could be helpful to many more? Sure, you could record yourself when you give your speech. However, recording distracts; you will have to edit the recording to remove all ambient noise. Furthermore, a 45-minute talk is unlikely to be viewed on YouTube often.
However, now there is a new tool on FlexClip that uses AI to convert your PowerPoint presentation into a video. The various options not only provide more people with access to your expertise but also facilitate communication. Plus, it helps drill down into your talk’s content, so watching the video takes less time, while still covering the essential points. This tutorial gets you started to turn a PowerPoint file into a video. Read to learn more.

Are You a Public Speaker?
As a public speaker, you prepare many PowerPoint presentations. They hold important information, but nobody would listen to a video of your 45-min talk on YouTube. However, you can now easily turn your work into a short video using the newest addition from Flexclip: Turning a PowerPoint into an engaging video with customizable scripts and accurate voiceover.
It is super easy, almost self-explanatory – at least for any decent tech-savvy person.
Tutorial to Turn a PPT-file into a Video on Flexclip: Step 1: Upload Your Document
Go to https://www.flexclip.com/tools/ai-ppt-to-video/. On the page, upload your PowerPoint presentation into the box. You can easily drag it there or use a link.
I uploaded a PowerPoint of a talk I gave at the UAF Women in Engineering Association entitled “How to get a Job and Keep It”.
Once the upload is done, a new window opens.
Step 2: Text Generation
Now, choose the video’s length, language, and tone. The length options are auto, standard, concise, and in-depth. The tone can be auto, formal & rigorous, data-driven, and product demo. The language can be in various English versions.
For the tryout in this review, I selected American English, standard, and formal & rigorous, then hit the “Next” button. A little tab opened, stating “generating”, and a white half-cycle rotated around.
After very short time the next page popped up with a draft of the AI-generated speech.
Edit the AI-Generated Speech to Match Your Voice (or Not)
You can edit the text on the right-hand side of the screen (see featured screen shot), while seeing the slide on the left-hand side.
There were about 200 to 300 words of suggested speech per slide. Note that the amount of words depends on the length option you picked.
The style was appropriate, and the messages were correct. However, I edited the text because I love editing texts. Then I hit “Next”.
Step 3: Chose the Voice
A new page showed up. Here, you can choose between female and male voices and a male AI-generated voice. I picked Jenny because I had used her voice for voice-overs in previous movies for my review of FlexClip’s text-to-speech feature.
Furthermore, you can set the voice style. I picked “General” because it seemed the best fit for the speech’s subject, namely “how to get a job and keep it“. Other options are Assistant, Chat, Newscast, and Customer Service.
I love that you can click these choices to get an idea of how they sound.
Then, you must select the subtitle fonts. Unfortunately, you can’t switch the subtitle option to “None”, which I would have chosen because there is already text on my slides.
The pink-orange button indicated that creating the video would withdraw 27 units from my AI-credits.
The Final Video
After hitting the button, the tab with a rotating half-cycle popped up again. The video was rendered, and exported.
Tip: Stay on the page for faster processing.
You can also share the link or share the movie with your friends and followers on social media: YouTube, Google Drive, Dropbox, and in the Cloud. Below, please watch the video.
Pretty cool isn’t it?
What I Disliked, But What Will Be of No Matter for You
While writing this review, I had to go back to the previous page several times. When I did it, I lost my upload, edits, and the work I had already done.
However, when creating a video in one shot, as described above, there is no reason to go back to the previous page. Therefore, it doesn’t matter to you.
Note that the tool adds a music background, which might not be a fit or a wanted feature for some applications.
Final Thoughts on How to Turn a PPT-file into a Video on Flexclip
I love that turning a PowerPoint presentation into a video is super easy with FlexClip. It saves a lot of time as compared to writing a video script, recording myself, editing the video, creating the subtitles, etc. It took me about 30 minutes, vs. the usual half-day I needed to create a 20-minute educational video for my graduate student online classes.
Given the various choices, this new option is perfect for many people, not only content creators, influencers, or educators. You can create videos to promote a product, provide a data-driven explanation of your cost estimate for a customer, give a quick update to a co-worker working hybrid, etc. A graduate student could use the tool to create an update on their research and request for feedback from their adviser, who is on sabbatical. You get the idea.
Check the new FlexClip tool out, and let me know whether you love it as much as I do.
