Screen Video Recording from PowerPoint
May 22, 2012

I have a client which needs to record a video of a PowerPoint show with their voiceover from their desktop. They do not have Articulate or Storyline. But I need them to be able to record this similar to if I was recording a live webinar on my end.
This is something I don't do much with. Can some tell me the easiest way to to create a decent quality video recording of a PowerPoint show delivered in live mode with the presenter adding voice commentary during the process? Total time is about 15 minutes.
FYI, I will be taking this video output and using it inside one of my StoryLine modules.
Thanks

Ben,
Not sure about the software for recording, however, I would recommend that they chunk the recording into e.g. 5 x 3-minute units.
Rcording for 15 minutes is a long time, (big file!), and it just might be easier this way.

You could use Articulates very own Screenr... //www.screenr.com/
and then download the MP4.
Yes.. but isn't that limited to 5 minutes or so?
Currently, I am recording the live webinar... sometimes these are 30 mins long. But the video quality sucks when I do this. I am trying to find a better way for the presenter to record it on their desktop. It needs to be something pretty simple for me to explain to them.
Why don't they download the trial version of SL, then record 5 x screen recordings?

in that case (I'm referring to the need for more length that 5 min, and for it to be run by the user), you might want to go with BB Flashback Express: http://www.bbsoftware.co.uk/BBFlashBack_FreePlayer.aspx
Thanks Will, this looks like it will do exactly what I need here..
