Transferring Annotations to Microsoft PowerPoint

You can transfer annotations and video segments to Microsoft PowerPoint and have them embedded in PowerPoint slides. Each annotation creates a separate slide. You can create a slide from a single annotation or multiple slides from an Annotations report.

Note: It is recommended that you use short annotations for each PowerPoint slide. If you need a longer excerpt, transfer multiple annotations from a report to create a single PowerPoint presentation with a slide for each annotation.

Also, when you transfer annotations to PowerPoint from transcripts with associated videos, you have the option of saving both the PowerPoint file (PPT) and the video clip (WMV). If you want to share the PowerPoint presentation with someone else, you must include the associated WMV file for the embedded video to play.
