* How to easily make movie for academic conference (for MS power point user) [#bfc5b37e]
If you have PowerPoint2010 or newer, you can output wmv fine from power point file directly.
Basic procedure can be found at~

- Turn your presentation into a video http://office.microsoft.com/sq-al/powerpoint-help/turn-your-presentation-into-a-video-HA010336763.aspx
1.Prepare ppt slide for conference oral presentation
2.Prepare caption for each slide. If you need multiple captions for one slide, set auto-animation.
3.(Optional) Prepare narration for each slide and place it. Set auto-animation.
4. Place movies to many slides (preferably most slides). Mute sound if necessary.
5. Set slide transition. "Fade" is the simplest. If you forget this process, the output movie smells "PowerPoint".
6. Set auto-animation to everything, including slide transition. Easiest way is to use "record timing (and narration)" function. Otherwise, set it one by one. This is the most time-consuming stage.
7. File->Save And Send ->Create a Video. Set resolution VGA or higher (VGA is somewhat out-of-date).
8. Use newest Windows Movie Maker to convert wmv to mp4/h264. You can also put BGM to the movie at this stage.
Here is the very rough ppt file and video, submitted to SIGGRAPH ASIA2012 emerging technologies.
