Answer

Actually, we cannot import a PowerPoint file into Windows Movie Maker directly, for Windows Movie Maker's supported input files are video, picture, audio or music, so we have to figure this out with some special methods.

Method 1: Save each slide in PowerPoint presentation to picture. Open PowerPoint file, go to File->Save as, on the "Save as type" option, and we choose the picture formats. There are 6 picture formats you can choose: *.gif, *.jpg, *png, *tif, *bmp, *emf.

Method 2: Convert PowerPoint presentation to video file. In PowerPoint 2010, you can now save your presentation as a Windows Media Video (.wmv) file. Please refer to the official help website:

But in the older version of PowerPoint, a ppt to video converter is what you need. Moyea PPT to Video Converter can convert PowerPoint to almost all popular video formats like WMV, MPEG, AVI, etc. It retains the structure of original PowerPoint, keeps all delicately designed elements in PowerPoint.
