Recording Trainings

This article is to assist National Trainers creating materials for Fall/Spring Leadership Training. For any others, CBS does not provide Microsoft Office, or have access to software discounts.
TRAINERS: You will need a computer with a webcam and a current version of Microsoft PowerPoint. If you do not have a current version, please contact us at [email protected].
NOTE: We suggest practicing with a few slides to familiarize yourself with the process. You can re-record any slide as needed.
We also suggest adding a title page with a photo of the speaker(s) so you can introduce yourself.

 

1.) Open PowerPoint.

 

 

2.) Click Open to select a PowerPoint file OR click a file name under Recent to open the file.

 

 

3.) Click Slide Show.

 

 

4.) Click Record Slide Show.

 

 

5.) The screen will change and show the slide show, as well as a picture-in-picture video from your camera.


6.) While video is preferred, if you wish to record audio only for a slide, click the Camera Icon to remove the video.

 

 

7.) Click RECORD to start recording audio and video (if selected) for a slide.

NOTE: We suggest recording one slide at a time.

 

 

8.) A countdown from 3 will be displayed on screen. Pause for a moment after 1 to start speaking.

 

 

9.) If needed, you can use the pens to point out details of a slide. Your drawing is animated in the recording.

14.) If you need to re-record a slide, click RECORD and re-record as needed. The entire slide must be recorded, not just a portion of the slide. Multiple takes are fine; however, you won’t be able to choose a take. PowerPoint will use only your most recently recorded take.

 

 

15.) When you have completed recording all of your slides, click the right arrow or X to exit to the main screen.

c.) Drag the corner of the video clip to enlarge the video.

 

 

16.) Be sure to click SAVE or use the File menu and select Save or Save As to save the file with a new name.

 

NOTE: If there is more than one speaker in a PowerPoint, you can record your slides, then share via DropBox to let other collaborators download and add their portions to the training.

 

17.) Once your have completed your training and saved, you need to export the file to a movie. Click File.

 

 

 

18.) Click Export.
