If you want to add depth to a presentation, you can try adding a PowerPoint project to iMovie. iMovie allows you to add something extra to your projects in terms of visual and audio effects, as well as the possibility of having better video quality. To import your PowerPoint presentations into iMovie you will need to convert the file to a format other than classic Powerpoint.

Steps

Step 1. Open PowerPoint and select the presentation you want to import into iMovie

Open the presentation.

Step 2. Go to "File" and scroll to the "Make Movie" option

In the next screen you can save your slideshow in.mov format by selecting the "Save As" field. On this screen you will also need to refine your presentation setup.

Step 3. Adjust the PowerPoint presentation by selecting the circle next to "Adjust settings" under the "Save As" option

Step 4. Click on "Save" to continue

At this point, another screen will appear that will allow you to change the options of your PowerPoint presentation.

Step 5. Select the "Quality" option from "Optimization", at the top of the "Size and Quality" section on the screen that has just opened

This option will allow you to export the file in the best possible quality, so that you have excellent resolution in iMovie as well.

Step 6. Click "OK" to complete the setup

The presentation will be exported in.mov format. However, iMovie is unable to import.mov files directly, so you need to convert the file to a compatible format such as MPEG 4 (mp4) or DV format.

Click on "Profile", which is located in the middle of the bottom of MOV to iMovie Converter. The best formats for importing into iMovie are MPEG 4 (which creates a small file size) and DV (which creates a high quality video). Both formats are compatible with iMovie.

Step 4. Click "Convert" in the upper right corner to convert the.mov file to iMovie format

Step 5. Select "Open", next to "Convert" in the lower right corner, and find the file you just converted
