Problem after clicking "Make Movie".

[forever.and.ever.endeavor]

I'm making a standard PowerPoint presentation. I "Rehearse Timing",
set specific transitions and customized animations for my text, and
one of my slides has an animated GIF image.

The problem is, when I click "Make Movie", it does make a movie but:

1. My transitions are not there (instead, there is just a fade-out
between slides)
2. The animated GIF is not animated in the Movie
3. The animation of text (flying in from the left/right, etc.) is
dramatically slowed down, compared to when I View Show in Powerpoint

Is this a problem anyone else has encountered? Further, is there
anything I am probably overlooking? I didn't see anything in "Movie
Options" that would have dictated these changes.

If nobody has anything to suggest, could you name me some good screen
capture video programs so that I could View Show and just make my own
video?

Thanks, in advance.

Justing,

Does your version powerpoint have all the available updates installed?

These are all issues with Make Movie that are documented in PowerPoint Help
under the "Help" menu. I don't think there's much you can do, although if
you look at the article " My PowerPoint Movie does not use the transitions I
want", you can see which transitions are substituted for which.

I've heard good things about Snapz Pro X
<http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/> for recording the screen
during a PowerPoint presentation, although I don't have much experience with
it myself. Here's a page from Geetesh Bajaj describing his experiences with
the software:
