Creating a simple video with sound and animation

Theelearning challenge on ELearning Heroes about three weeks ago was, storytelling with animated text, images, sound and video in E_Learning. I decided to give this a try using PowerPoint to create the video and a text-to-speech software to create the audio. The content I used wasn’t really a story, but rather a brief introduction to what Schizophrenia is and it’s symptoms.

I created four slides in PowerPoint which consisted of an introduction and three content slides. I used PowerPoint’s Fly-In animation to bring in the words, I then created the audio on the text-to-speech software and imported it into PowerPoint. To convert PowerPoint into a video format, I recorded timing for each slide and allowed the whole presentation to run automatically.
