PowerPoint 2013 - How to create video with external loaded audio? "Some of the media in this presentation cannot be included in this video"

Question

_{Thursday, April 4, 2013 11:13 AM}

I inserted in a slide an audio from a file on PC.

When I try to concvert the presentation in a video, the following popup error occurs: "Some of the media in this presentation cannot be included in this video. Do you want to continue without including the media?"

I tried with both mp3 and pm4 audio format and the same error occurs.

Only if the included audio is recorded inside PowerPoint, the video + audio creation works !

How can I make to include external audio (from a mp3 file ... or other format) and still make di export video feature work?

It happened because the PowerPoint presentation was made with a previous version. You have to save the presentation into .pptm format, before exporting as a video!

Moreover, note that you have to set an audio in background you can do:

• Click the audio clip in the slide.
• Under Audio Tools > Click Playback > in the Audio Styles group > click Play in Background
