Hello and welcome in this additional lecture, where I want to show you how to make a voice overs your presentations. Let's assume that I want to voice over only those two slides to make a ready presentation out of it. I already recorded something. I'll show you how this looks. When you add this into PowerPoint, it will automatically add the audio here at the beginning. And on the transitions tab, it will automatically adjust the length of the slide to the audio you spoke.

I will show you the benefits and the problems with this. In order to record your sound in PowerPoint, you can go to slideshow and you can hit record slideshow you can additionally enable if it's more convenient for you. I also have their recording tab, and this is the same function. It's just separately on the recording tab. If you do not have the recording tab, you can always go to File options, and it might not be available for all PowerPoint versions, but in my version, it's available in the Customize ribbon. I simply selected recording here at the bottom.

Okay? recording slideshow. Going to ledger when you click on recording slideshow, it shows you the first slide. When you click on record, it will automatically start to record this timing and what you are saying by PowerPoint because the recording microphone is enabled here. Once you stop talking, you can go to the next slide. Then you can talk again the animations will play the slide will play you will talk you will talk and it will automatically record at and adjust to the length of the slide.

Once you are finished, you simply hit stop. You exit this view and this will be automatically here. Now let me preview very quickly what I did here on the first slide. With this feature, I would like to show you that it is possible to record a voice over this particular slide. As you can see, PowerPoint has done everything for me and edit also the timings. What are the benefits and disadvantages of this?

The benefits are, of course, the automation. The problems are that it's very hard to edit this this audio, I will not be able to edit out the mistakes that I for example made during recording. Let me rerecord the first light and I'll show you something. It's very useful that you create one empty slide before it because the PowerPoint animations sometimes do not start to play if you record straight from this slide. I will show you this on an example. Okay, let me I added a blank slide.

I go to record slideshow. I hit record. And this is just an empty slide to like make me say 123 Let's go. Okay. I will go to the next slide and you see the animation Play now, I will explain you this slide, you can see it record from scratch. So it will delete my old recording and this is the entire length of the presentation.

I have two slides. The second slide had for example 30 seconds, this is why the duration is so long here. Okay. I'm done explaining this slide. I said everything I wanted to say Thus, I will go forward. Now, this is the second slide you are talking talking talking, you are making mistakes, mistakes, mistakes, and let me know show you what happened.

I press stop, PowerPoint is adding the sound recording here and is adjusting the transition duration. On the second slide I was talking for nine seconds, shift five. Now this is the second slide you are talking talking talking. You are making mistakes, mistakes. And assuming that I made mistakes at the end, I would need to click on This little icon, I would need to go to playback, go to trim audio. And I would need to trim my mistake.

The problem is I cannot trim the mistakes from the middle, I can only trim the beginning and the end of this sound recording. So as you can see, PowerPoint is, well not the most efficient recording tool, the entire duration of this recording is six seconds now because I've adjusted the length, okay, but the problem here is that on the transitions tab, we still have the original nine seconds that I was talking. So in order to make everything intact and the slide to be not extended too long, I would need to go here and reduce it to the seven or six seconds. This would be now completely done. So as you can see, PowerPoint does have this recording function here under slideshow options. You can record straight out inside of PowerPoint And it will also automatically set the timings and at the, at the voiceover, just make sure that you do not make too many mistakes, and you will have a ready video to export.

Before exporting out quickly delete the slide, and we will be ready to go. Why did I make this white slide here? Look at that. One less time. If I start from here, I press record. PowerPoint sometimes makes a mistake that it doesn't show the animations look at that animations should play but they don't.

This is why I add previous slide. So I can press on to the next slide. As you can see, when you play the next slide, the animations play properly. But if you start, stop, if you start from from this slide, you may play the animation doesn't play. So this is another like error from the Microsoft developers. But this can be easily fixed by creating a new blank slide here.

I hope this all makes sense. And you've learned how to record a slideshow in PowerPoint. Thanks you very much for listening to this additional lecture.
