What makes a good video presentation?
A quality video presentation pairs a confident presenter with appealing visuals, including examples and graphics to break down complex topics. Use concise text for clarity, limit slides to one idea each, and maintain a comfortable pace throughout.
How do I make a PowerPoint presentation into a video?
You can capture your PowerPoint presentation by using its built-in screen recording while narrating. Alternatively, Descript’s screen recorder can capture your slides, audio, and camera so you can then edit, refine, and share everything in one place.
How do I record a Google Slides presentation with audio and video?
Open your Google Slides deck and prepare it for presenting. Then, in Descript, select Record in the toolbar. Decide whether to record the whole screen or just the presentation window, and turn on the mic and camera to include audio narration and your on-camera presence. When you’re done, stop the recording in Descript to edit or share the final result.
How can I deliver better video presentations?
Descript’s AI features like Eye Contact and Filler Word Removal help elevate your video presentations. Eye Contact keeps your gaze aligned with viewers, and Filler Word Removal automatically edits out unnecessary fillers (“um,” “uh,” “you know”), so your delivery feels more polished and engaging.
