NOTE: When you click “Start” (Step 4) it will begin to reprocess the video file at the new framerate. Once you have chosen your mp4 file exported from PowerPoint, follow the 4 easy steps in the images below: After you’ve installed it, when you first open Handbrake, it immediately prompts you to select the video file to work on. This is how we recommend doing it: Download the software “ Handbrake” – it’s free, open source, and has versions for both Mac and Windows. This may be minor at the beginning of the video, but extreme by the end. While the movie quality is fine when played directly on the computer, once it is uploaded to a streaming host (such as UVM Streaming or YouTube) the audio and video are no longer synched. However, with video files saved from PowerPoint, there has been a consistent problem for which we now have a fix. That means that videos should instead be uploaded to UVM Streaming Media.
NOTE: exporting to mp4 may take several minutes so be patient.īecause video files are very large, students have trouble downloading them and the large file size can cause problems with the Blackboard course. In PowerPoint, you add audio narration to each slide, and then you must “Export” the completed file, selecting “mp4” as the file type. When recording lectures, some faculty prefer to add audio narration to their PowerPoint files rather than using screencasting software.
