Help needed with powerpoint upload to youtube

Question on changing a powerpoint to a movie and uploading it to Youtube.

I have created a powerpoint presentation and saved it in the .mov format and tried to upload it to youtube- no go. Imported it into quicktime pro and saved it in avi format, uploaded it to youtube, but youtube didn't keep the timing of slides so all slides went through at 1 slide per second instead of the 1st at 5 seconds, the 2nd at 10, the 3rd at 15 seconds, etc.

I have a mac and don't, currently, have access to quicktime pro, just the regular quicktime.

Any thoughts?

Why not try slide show?

Response by poster: If I play the mov/avi file before importing it to youtube, the speed is correct.

Best answer: [SlideShare|http://www.slideshare.net/] is the Youtube of presentations. Does that help?

Response by poster: I haven't tried slideshare yet, but on first pass, it looks perfect. I will let you know if it works for me.

You could use a screen recorder like camstudio (free) to capture the presentation at the speed you want as well as recording narration over the top of it, if you still want to go down the YouTube route.

Sorry for lack of links: on my phone (we need an acronym for that surely?)
