Hey, sometimes when you're live streaming,
you want to bring in some of your existing content, like a presentation.
One of the things that you can do is turn that presentation
into a movie. So that's what we're going to work on today.
So let's head over to the desktop and we're going to get started with Canva.
One of the reasons I wanted to start off with Canva is because Canva
is really flexible.
It's really easy for folks to catch on to how to use it,
but also there are so many templates out there for your
presentations.
So it can give you a headstart with creating a presentation and make it
easier for you to create your slides.
What we can do with this presentation is if you notice over here on the
left-hand side, you see the animations.
Now you have so many choices of how you can animate your
presentation. And when you hover over each choice,
it shows you what the animation would look like.
And of course, if you have the pro option,
there's additional ones that you can choose from.
Then you have the option here at the bottom left to
apply the animation to all pages.
So I'm just going to do a basic one and I'll just do
breathe. This is one of my favorites,
and then I'll apply to all pages. Now,
once you've added all your animations to your presentation,
you just want to go up to the download option here,
and you're going to change the file type.
And you're going to choose MP4 video.
And just go ahead and download your presentation.
Since I'm on a Mac, I'll just play it in QuickTime.
And you see here that it's 55 seconds long,
but all those animations make this
a great movie that you can bring into StreamYard now,
and you can do your narration over your video.
So let's go over to StreamYard and see how that works.
And I'm going to click on share,
and you see where it says video file.
Now I'll navigate to my desktop where I had that video file.
And one of the really cool things about bringing your video into StreamYard is
that you have full controls over pausing it or pressing play,
so that you can narrate over the video at your own
speed. This next example,
I want to show you how you can do the same thing using Keynote.
And I've already created some of the
slides for the presentation. Let's just go over to Keynote here. You see,
I have my slides already lined up and what we want to do is go up to
file and export as a movie.
So if you're using Microsoft PowerPoint, it works pretty much the same way.
You just add your animations, your slides,
and then you export that as a movie.
What was really powerful is the way that you can use that movie to
do more of a formal presentation in StreamYard. When you're live,
you can decide if you want to add that narration beforehand,
you could just play it and the audio will come right through,
or you can narrate as you go along and
always pause that video. If you want to take questions,
bring them up on screen and engage with your audience during the
presentation.
It's totally up to you and that's it for today.
And I'll see you in the next video.
