Save your PowerPoint as a JPEG. Click on the arrow by "Save as type:" and scroll down to JPEG File Interchange Format.
Open PhotoStory
Import the files you just exported from PowerPoint
Arrange your pictures in the order you want them. You can also rotate and edit them.
If one of your slides has a picture and you want to add a caption, this is where you would do it, otherwise you will skip this part
PowerPoints often have words that do not lend themselves to the "Motions" part of PhotoStory. Here are the directions for moving all motion.
Click on the "Customize Motion..." button
Click on the top box "Specify start and end position of motion." This will activate other boxes
Generally someone will be narrating the presentation. Timing needs to be adjusted for each slide. Do this by clicking the radio button under Duration called "Number of seconds to display the picture"
The first slide will need the box checked "Set start position..." The end slide will need only the box checked "Set end position" All of the other slides require both boxes to be checked.
When you are finished with these settings... You can use the "Preview" button to check the timing, to see if any slides were skipped, etc.
If everything looks good, click Close
You can also change the transitions. Be wary of too many transitions and/or as it can cause the viewer to lose track of what the content is as the eyes try to focus on the changing pictures.
Each slide will now have a time (ex. 00.09) showing how long each slide will be displayed
You can now add sound by using the record button
Always remember to click Save Project before closing out PhotoStory. This will save your project so that you can continue working later.

You can also change what folder you want it stored in and where you want it saved onto - your H drive, flash drive, etc.
Click on Next and it will compile your project. (Building your story)
If you don't want to "View your story" or "Create a new story" click Exit
Saving the File as a Project
Always click Yes. This finalizes your project so you can retrieve it and edit later.
Here is where you can change the File name if you have been working on different versions of the same title (example: audio voice/ music added).
