I often have clients that want to include Power Point slides in their video.  Most PPT presentations are formatted at a 4x3 aspect ratio.  But all HD video is shot at an aspect ratio of 16x9.  These easy instructions will guide you through how to change your presentation and then save each slide as an image.
