Timeline player: saving video clip
Now open PowerPoint and select a slide. Powerpoint has a screen recording feature designed to let users embed videos in slides, but you can also use it to screen record on a computer and save the resulting video for later use.
Open the Insert tab and select Screen Recording.
This should open options on the Control Dock.
Choose Select Area in your MicrobeTrace window or press the Windows logo key + Shift + A. Then, you can click and drag your mouse over the area that you want to record.
In the Control Dock, hit Record or press the Windows logo key + Shift + R. PowerPoint will now start capturing a video of the selected area on your screen. You can also control your recording by hitting the pause, record, and stop buttons on the Control Dock at any time. The hotkeys for these commands are: • Windows logo key + Shift + R to pause when recording or to start recording again when paused. • Windows logo key + Shift + Q to end your recording session.
PowerPoint automatically saves the videos you record as part of your presentation when you hit the Windows logo key + S, but you can also save your recording as a separate file. Right-click on the image of the recording in the slide and choose Save Media As. Then, just choose a destination and file name, and hit Save. It is now saved as an MP4 file.
