Snapz Pro X for PowerPoint?

I work cross-platform on PowerPoint for Windows and Mac. Most PowerPointusers on Windows believe that the best feature on PowerPoint for Macis the ability to export an entire movie to a QuickTime file. A fewPowerPoint designers actually create their presentations on Windowsbut move them to the Mac so that they can produce a movie.

So is PowerPoint's QuickTime output good enough? For simple presentations,it is adequate. Add some complicated animations or include a voice-overor background music score and PowerPoint's movie output options getstretched to their limits.

At times, I've output movies from PowerPoint:mac 2004 only to findthat the entire narration for a slide plays before the first animationsequence even starts moving. That's clearly not acceptable.

Someone suggested SnapzPro X as an alternative. Read more...

First Impressions

I downloaded and installed a trial version of Snapz Pro X. The trialversion works identical to the full version for 15 days. Snapz ProX loads with Mac OS X by default and you need to press the z+Shift+3keys to activate it. We'll explore the capture options later in thisreview.

To cut a long story short, let me tell you that my first movie captureof a PowerPoint presentation with Snapz Pro X exceeded my expectations.I even played it on Windows using the QuickTime Player and it was smootherthan any other presentation capture that I had done on that platform.

PowerPoint Capture Guidelines

For this tutorial, I'm using a presentation that contains over a thousandgradient swatches. To make sure that I take Snapz Pro X to its limitsI recorded a narration on each slide using PowerPoint:mac 2004 anda Plantronics DSP300 headset.

To ensure a perfect video capture, make sure you follow these guidelines:

Color and Resolution: To make the finished moviesmaller in size, change the resolution and color depth and set it to800 x 600 pixels at 256 colors. That's not too many colors - and yourdisplay make look patchy. Fortunately, it looks much better after areboot so if you are lowering your resolution and color depth, do makesure that you reboot before doing an actual capture.

Mac

Start and end with blank slides: So that the narrationon your first slide does not begin even before you can begin the capture,include a blank black or white slide before the presentation. Set thetransition of this slide to occur on mouse-click. Create a similarlast slide in the presentation.

Moving between slides: While the video capture isbeing done, make sure that you use the spacebar to move to the nextslide rather than the mouse since the capture could pick up the mouseclick sound.

Close applications: Make sure that you are not connectedto an instant messenger application like MSN Messenger while doingthe capture - you don't want a window popping up inside the captureto announce that a friend has just come online!

Doing the Capture

Follow these steps to do a typical PowerPoint to video capture usingSnapz Pro X:

  1. Launch PowerPoint and open your presentation. You can record thenarration using PowerPoint's narration feature (Slide Show | RecordNarration. Alternatively, you might want to record using the microphonealong with the video capture.
  2. Include a blank slide before the presentation (see guidelines above).Play the presentation so that you are on the first slide. Press the z+Shift+3shortcut key (or any other shortcut key if you changed the defaults).This will initiate Snapz Pro X and bring forth a dialog box (seescreenshot).


  1. Select the Movie option and Snapz Pro X brings another dialog box(see screenshot).
  1. Change the Selection style to'Fixed size'. Set the size to the resolution of your screen.
  2. If you want to record voice using the microphone along with thecapture, make sure that you check the option that says 'Microphonetrack'.
    If you want to record voice that is part of the PowerPoint presentation,make sure that you check the option that says 'Mac audio track'.
    To begin recording, double-click outside the dialog box.
  3. Play the presentation as required - be aware that everything isbeing recorded to a movie. You can record a narration along withthe presentation. When you want to stop the movie capture, just pressthe hotkeys (by default, z+Shift+3)again.
  4. As soon as you press the hotkey, Snapz Pro X springs to life (seescreenshot).
  5. Click on the audio track settings and choose the Qualcomm PureVoiceoption - this setting keeps the file size low.
  6. Snapz Pro X now saves the entire recorded presentation to a movie.

  • Play the movie on Mac and Windows computers.
