Powerpoint slides in Premiere Pro

Hi, I haven't found anything recent on this forum about working with Powerpoint slides in Premiere Pro. I was wondering (hoping) that the 2018 version might have some handy new workflow for this. Can anyone advise on the most effective way to get slides in for video editing? Thanks. This is to cut from a speaker to his slides.

Have you tried the Export in Powerpoint? You can now export in mp4.

So in Powerpoint, it's in File > Export > Create a video

Hope it helps!

Hello, Guest! If you plan to create a video with PowerPoint slides, you can use the default feature in the PowerPoint application. Still, in this case, you will need to convert the format to the correct one if you want to use any video editor in the future, but in my opinion, this is a more complicated way. It is better to use the slides on https://okslides.com if you don't want to convert your video, so you can record your screen using the correct time frames and make a video easier. If you want, I will help you with this. Reach me in private messages or answer here on this topic.

The best way I have found to do this is choose File->Save as Pictures->PDF option.  Open the saved PDF in Photoshop, in the crop to: drop down menu choose Media Box, increase the bit depth to 16bit and choose RGB color mode and hit ok. Save each slide as a .PSD file.  This will preserve all of the highest resolutions.  You might be able to get away with saving them as jpegs, I didn't do that option.  The .PSD file are a little larger, but that's usually a fail safe.

    Thanks. Sounds good. I guess this way you preserve the highest resolution. Cheers

    Right, so that's still the best way to go, eh? I saw you export WMV or mp4. Thanks

      The last one I did there was no automatic timing between the slides so I just 'saved as' each slide in PowerPoint as a jpeg and used those in Premiere,
