Exporting to video takes FOREVER!

To everybody who's following and reading this thread: it might be useful to use some kind of screencasting software to capture the Powerpoint. I think this is faster than the internal converter of Powerpoint.

I'm using Screencast-o-matic, it has a free version for videos under 15 minutes.*

A) If your Powerpoint already has narrating (and annotations) embedded

1) Then you open up your screencasting software (I'm using Screencast-o-matic, it has a free version for videos under 15 minutes)

2) Replay the Powerpoint in fullscreen while recording using Screencast-o-matic. Don't forget to add the system audio. This way the embedded audio in your Powerpoint-file will be captured by the screencasting software.

B) If your Powerpoint doesn't have narrating (and annotations) yet

1) Then you open up your screencasting software

2) Play the Powerpoint in fullscreen while recording the full screen using Screencast-o-matic. This time, you'll be speaking in the microphone.
