Karen, This would have so saved me a month of headaches! Thanks for the tips.i’m using a PowerBook G4 and love it! For the music impaired, I used a sound file from iStockphoto, now that they offer .wav files, they are ready to go and it was super easy. I was able to skip the conversion process with the music.

That’s a great idea. I’ve got a Boy Scout presentation to do and would like to give the presentation to a number of people. Some of them don’t have a computer but they sure do have a TV! Thanks

Hi Mark,
If you take a look at Step 5 again, you’ll notice that I used a wav file, not an mp3 or mp4, for my soundtrack. I’m not sure if those file types would work, but the wav file did. I downloaded some beautiful piano pieces off the internet for free and used those for this particular process. Good luck with your project!

I followed all your steps but was unable to select my sound files… I have both mp3 and m4p file types from iTunes… for the Background Soundtrack selection within the “Make a movie” dialog.

Is this for real?? What are the allowed sound files?

Rebekah – I just realized you’d left a post. Not sure if you’ll see this, but I’m using PowerPoint 2004 for Mac. Maybe it’s only on newer versions.

I opened my powerpoint presentation and went to file to make a movie in powerpoint, but there’s nothing listed like what you’ve mentioned here:

“6. Make a Movie in PowerPoint

Open your PowerPoint slideshow file.
Go to File > Make Movie.”

I have powerpoint 2003
