Handling Large PowerPoint Files (Likely with Video and Audio Embedded)
Export your PowerPoint presentation that already contains embedded video and audio...
...into a video file.
And then export the PowerPoint again, but to a PDF version that is only slides.
Upload the video to Kaltura Drexel Streams & embed it in your Canvas section.
Attach the PDF slides to the video in Canvas, or just underneath the video in a Module in Canvas.
How to Export your PowerPoint:
Exporting Video from PowerPoint on Windows (PC):
Click File menu > click Export > click Create a Video
Choose Video Quality (recommend HD over 4K)
Use Recorded Timings and Narrations (if offered)
Set Seconds spent on each slide (if offered, go 5-10 seconds)
Click Create Video
Choose a save location and a format (MP4 recommended)
Wait while PowerPoint processes (may take awhile; if you don't see progress unless you navigate up one folder level and back down to where the video file was saved).
Exporting Video from PowerPoint on Mac:
Click File menu > click Export > for File Format, select MP4 (more compatible) or MOV
Use Recorded Timings and Narrations (if offered)
Choose Quality setting (Presentation, Internet [recommended], or Low Quality > click Export
Wait while video rendered, progress shown in bottom status bar (may take awhile; if you don't see progress unless you navigate up one folder level and back down to where the video file was saved).
Export to PDF:
File > Export > PDF (on Mac)
File > Save As > PDF (on Windows)
Note: This strips out all audio/video by default, leaving only static slides. Animations and transitions will NOT be preserved in the PDF. But you will have them in the video from the original.
See below instructions in the Video section for embedding files.
