PowerPoint: Exporting builds/aniumations

talk design

Im trying to find an easier way to export builds/animations from Powerpoint in bitmap format. Anyone know of a good way to do that?

Its not so much getting a frame by frame animation sequence, just the builds or the stopping points in an animated slide. Saving out from PowerPoint only gives the last of those screens. I need them all and its a pain in the *** to build them myself.

I just dont have the time. :scream: Theres 100’s of slides for this ‘rush’ project many of which have animations and builds in this respect sigh

There are many powerpoint conversion software progs out there. They allow you to export in many ways and formats.
What output format do you require ‘exactly’ ( swf .exe .avi ??? ) as I may be able to help with the s/w I have if I know what you are trying to acheive.
When I read your post - it reads like you need to be able to pause any animation at any point - instead of the animation playing thru to its end before the next button appears?? … is that right?

bitmap - anykind

I just need the stills from an animated slide with builds. Not animation, just stills. Exporting from PP gives me the last build of any slide. Its all the slides, but only the last part of the slide. I need each still part as a bitmap.

ok - I can convert the animation to swf and then export as a series of bitmaps… does that sound like what you need?

At that point its not much easier than what I’ve been doing. Its an option though, thanks.

All I do is hit a button in PP …the s/w does the rest …but if that’s all you are doing, I am not sure why you are looking for a faster way… it don’t get much faster or easier than that…
