Powerpoint To Video Promotions

Powerpoint To Video

Today I’ve created some Powerpoint to Video promotions for my web design site at Salmon Web Design.

Whilst you can view them on that site, I thought that I would also add them to this site as it represents yet another method of creating animated style videos for video marketing purposes.

Here are a few of the other methods with which I create videos for my web properties:

  • web cam videos
  • screencast videos
  • Google Hangouts
  • green-screen videos i.e. replace the background
  • animated videos
  • sketch-style videos
  • Powerpoint videos
  • freestyle videos with my camera
  • Adobe After Effects logo stings

The 3 Powerpoint to video examples above were created from the content already on my computer just to test the format.  I hope you enjoyed watching them.  If so, head over to Salmon Web Design and take a look at some of the great content I have on that site to wow prospective customers.

Free Background Images

As a bonus to a video product I have just bought was a package of nice free background images with a reseller license.

These images were part of a previous paid product by Todd Gross and he has now bundled them as a bonus with a new product.

I therefore though that I would offer these to my subscribers.  The only drawback is that the images are all from the US.  In due course, I may add to the package by steadily taking some pictures in the UK.

There is an optional upsell to purchase a collection of video backgrounds that are perfect for optin pages and green screen video purposes.

The free images can be downloaded here in return for an optin.

Here a few examples of images in the free package:

Green Screen Video – The New Frontier

For me, green screen video is the new frontier.

I’ve been watching my online friends, Chris Cole and Matthew Houghton, creating incredible videos and have been wondering how they did it.

(If you want to join in the magic then this is the Facebook Group that you need to join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/580398582047648/ and I recommend that you subscribe to Chris Cole’s YouTube Channel http://www.youtube.com/imchriscole  and you will be impressed by the great information he is just giving away about video marketing and YouTube)

I therefore invested in a studio background cloth and stand.  This was a partial fail for two reasons:

  • I had inadequate lighting
  • I had a white background that was difficult to remove effectively in my video editing software

I therefore bought a couple of studio lights off eBay.  I discovered why they were so cheap – just one bulb in each!  However, as I am filming in my small office, I think I will get away with this.  However, my friends have much more powerful lighting – 4 bulbs in each which enables them to use a bigger space for filming.

Despite the new lighting, the white background was still not working, so I invested in a green background cloth.

This time, I had success – here is my first test.  This is not perfect by any means but it does represent a break-through for me.  Hopefully, I will now be able to go on and raise my game.

I have also created a new video outro that I will start to use on my videos – the creative options are enormous with video – feeling excited:

Green screen video may not be a new frontier for you, but it is for me!
