From PPT into InDesign then to HTML5 using In5?

Powerpoint can export as png/gif/MP4. So can I make an "animation" in Powerpoint, place it into an ePub in Design, then output it all to HTML5 using Ajar's In5?

MP4 would be practical option, but that's just a movie. 

You might want to check out Adobe Presenter. It's a PowerPoint plug in that allows HTML export, among other things.

What's the end game here? Why not just use the PowerPoint file?

So... what exactly is your goal?

 

Sometimes a clearer answer can be determined from that than from working through some chain of options.

You can output your Powerpoint presentation as a MP4 video, then Place it in your InDesign document, where you might add text and other items, and then use InDesign's Publish Online facility to produce a hyperlink so you can distribute the document with the video.
