Turn a PowerPoint deck into a presentation video automatically

The whole path: from a PowerPoint deck to a video

Slide to Video Studio creates explainer videos from PowerPoint files in five steps: upload, style, presenter, slides and script, and finish. The script and narration are drafted automatically and can be fixed line by line.

The example is a five-slide briefing deck on the benefits of a generative-AI chat platform for small and midsize companies. It is a sample report produced by DeepResearch in Bestllam (https://bestllam.com), our own service, loaded as it is. The presenter is Sophia. Figures and cases inside the deck are the deck’s own and have not been verified by MotionVox.

In this example, preparing the script and narration took about three and a half minutes, and generating and exporting about six. Five slides became 23 lines and a 3 minute 20 second video. Use the links under “Continue with” to open the tutorial for each stage.

Some figures were captured by reopening the same project after the video was finished, so every step is ticked and lines are already split. The controls are in the same places.
