How to Extract All Video or Audio Files from a PowerPoint Deck

Try This Great Trick to Easily Extract All Embedded Video or Audio from a PowerPoint Presentation

Avantix Learning Team | Updated August 11, 2021

Applies to: Microsoft ®  PowerPoint ®  2013, 2016, 2019 and 365 (Windows)

If you want to extract embedded video or audio files from a Microsoft PowerPoint deck to use in another presentation, you can copy and paste them between presentations or you can extract them by converting the presentation to a zip file type. Starting in PowerPoint 2010, video and sound files are embedded (copied into the presentation) by default.

In newer versions of PowerPoint, you can right-click a video or audio file (typically in Normal View), select Save Media As from the drop-down menu and save the file with a new name on your PC or a shared drive.

The following trick to extract all media works with any Microsoft PowerPoint file using XML (Extensible Markup Language) format. XML files are stored as a package and can therefore be unzipped. They also end with an "x" such as .pptx (2007 and later versions).

Note: You can't extract YouTube videos that are embedded in a presentation using this method.

Extract video and audio files by changing the file extension

In order to use the following procedure, Windows Explorer must be set so that it shows file names with extensions.

To extract embedded video and audio files from a PowerPoint deck:

• In Windows Explorer, select the presentation (it should have a .pptx extension) with the embedded video and audio you wish to extract.
• Right-click and choose Copy or press Ctrl + C.
• Right-click and choose Paste or press Ctrl + V.
• Right-click the copy of the presentation and choose Rename in the drop-down menu.
• Change the file extension .pptx to .zip (Windows must be set to display file extensions).
• Press Enter. A dialog box appears warning you that the file may become unusable if you change the extension.
• Click Yes to continue. The file icon changes to a folder icon.
• Double-click the zipped folder. The zipped folder contains multiple folders (some contain information such as XML code or properties).
• Double-click the ppt folder.
• Double-click the media folder to view image, video and audio files. Each file is given a generic name.
• Copy these files (or the entire folder) to another location for use in other presentations and to rename the files. Copying to another location will unzip the files. You can also click the Extract button in Windows Explorer to extract the files to another location.

Linked audio and video files will not be extracted.

You can fade a picture in PowerPoint by drawing a rectangle shape on top of the picture and then filling the rectangle with a gradient from opaque to transparent. This technique is often used to fade an image into the background of a slide. Since the rectangle is placed on top of the image and then text may be placed on top of the rectangle, you may need to reorder the objects.

You can now lock an image, shape or other object in PowerPoint. Objects can be locked in Normal View or Slide Master View. Only PowerPoint 365 users can lock objects to prevent moving and resizing.

How to extract videos and other media elements from PowerPoint presentations

There was a time when adding graphics elements in presentations used to make them look out of the world. But today, with improvement in technology, and to provide better infographics, videos are widely used in presentations to give them a unique look. Adding videos in presentations is nothing new, and such a thing is also supported by older versions of Microsoft Office, justifying it. But the way videos are added to the new versions of Microsoft PowerPoint has changed a lot for something better. It is no longer a problem to add videos in presentations and regret adding it, later on.

In the older versions of Microsoft PowerPoint, you could neither delete the source video nor move it to a different location on your storage device. Doing that will screw your presentation up, and you will no longer be able to display the video, though photos and images will remain unharmed. It means it used to be big trouble to carry presentations from your home to office or show the presentation on a separate system. What actually used to happen is that the presentation used to contain a link to the video, which was played while clicked on, or automatically.

But with the later version of Microsoft PowerPoint, the videos get embedded in the presentation itself, and you can do anything with the source without harming the presentation in any way.

But in some cases, you might need to extract those videos or other multimedia elements from the presentation if the source files are no longer available to you, or for similar other reasons. That is easily possible, and I will share the trick here.

So let’s get started with how you can extract videos and other multimedia elements from a presentation.

The steps to follow

Step 1: For safety, I would recommend you to create a copy of the presentation and then proceed with this trick to prevent harming the presentation in any way. But if you are a techie and know what you are doing, you can skip this step.

Step 2 : Now rename the PowerPoint presentation to change the extension from ‘pptx’ to ‘zip’ .

For example, if you are having a presentation with the name ‘ Pampered tails.pptx ’, rename it to ‘ Pampered tails.zip ’

Step 4:  Open the folder that comes with the name ‘ppt’ .

Step 5:  Now open the folder that has the name ‘media’ .

Step 7:  Just extract all of them or extract the selected ones out of them for further activities. The media files here will come with the names ‘media1’ , ‘media2’ , for video files, ‘ image1 ’, ‘ image2 ’ for audio files and so on. As the default file names are not retained after getting added to the presentations, you will have to check all of them to find the one that you actually need.

You are always free to change the name of the files once you find the one that you need.

This tutorial is surely going to be very handy for you if you work a lot with PowerPoint presentations.

This trick works only for PowerPoint presentations with the new or pptx extension as pptx is actually a compressed file that contains all the elements separately for more flexibility. All the new Microsoft office extensions like xlsx, docx come with this provision, though you might not need the same feature for those extensions, as well.

How to Extract Video, Audio, Image from PowerPoint

When you see a great PowerPoint file online, you can download the elements in it for your personal use. No matter you are a Windows user or Mac user, solutions in this article can help you extract all kinds of embedded files like videos, audios, images, or other media files of a PowerPoint.

Extract PowerPoint Files on Windows Extract PowerPoint Files on Mac Extract Individual Video or Image from PowerPoint

Extract PowerPoint Files on Windows

To separate files from PowerPoint on Windows 10/8/7, you can simply convert the presentation to a zipped file folder.

In case you lose the source file, you'd better copy the original PPT or PPTX file first and follow the steps on the copy.

It only works on .ppt and .pptx file but not PDFs or .docx file.

Show PowerPoint file extension Before you change the presentation to a zipped files folder, you should make sure the File Explorer is set to show file names with file extensions.

For Windows 10/8 users:

• Go to File Explorer , click View in the upper menu.
• In the Show/hide group , check the File name extensions .

For Window 7/Vista/XP users:

• Go to Windows Explorer , click Folder and Search Options .
• In Windows 7, it is under Organize . In Windows Vista/XP, it is on Tools > Folder Options .

• On the View tab > Files and Folders , uncheck Hide extensions for known file types.

Open PowerPoint file as a folder

• After the PowerPoint file extension is shown, right-click on the presentation.
• Select Rename and change the file extension to .zip .
• Open the zipped file and you will see it contains several folders. The videos, images, or audios you need are in the ppt > media folder .

Copy or drag the media you need to the desk and change the .zip extension to .pptx to restore the original file.

Extract PowerPoint Files on Mac

Just like extracting files on Windows, you can rename the .pptx file on Mac to .zip and unzip it to get the media you need. But it is possible that sometimes the zipped file get unzipped to a zip.cpgz file. Unzip it and it would again become a zip file, going around in circles.

Here is the solution to this problem.

If you change the PowerPoint file extension to .zip and double click on it but nothing works, follow the steps:

• Go to Applications > Utilities > Terminal . Or search Terminal in Spotlight .
• Find the folder where the presentation file is located.
• Unzip the file.

If it doesn't work, try to rename the .pptx file to .zip file and do the procedures above again.

When it is opened, you will see 3 folders(_rels, docProps, and ppt) in finder and a .xml file . Click on the ppt folder > media . The videos, audios, and images you want are all in it.

Extract Individual Video or Image from PowerPoint

Except for changing PowerPoint file extension, there is also one way to grab individual images, audio, or video from PowerPoint.

If you just want one video or audio in the PPT file, or you want to play a few slides and save it as a video file, a screen recording program will be helpful to you. Here is how to do:

Download FonePaw Screen Recorder first.

Windows Version Download Mac Version Download

Enable FonePaw Screen Recorder and click Video Recorder .

Present the PowerPoint file and locate the slides you want to extract. Or play the video you want to extract in the PPT file.

Click REC to begin recording. When it is finished, you can save it as MP4, WMV , or other formats.

In addition to converting the PPT to an individual video ,  you can also record the audio or capture one specific picture in the PowerPoint file with FonePaw Screen Recorder .

How to Extract Video & Other Media Files from PowerPoint Presentations

Extracting images and video content from PowerPoint can intimidate more than one user. Here we will explain how we can extract multimedia content from PowerPoint files easily using a simple approach.

First, you need to open a PowerPoint file and make sure it is the file you want to extract the content. We will export the PPT presentation to a format that will also export the media content in a separate folder. For example, if we want to export all the images from a PowerPoint file or export sounds, music, or videos from the PPT, then we can use this approach.

Go to File and click Save As and make sure you choose the modern PPT file format .pptx – This file format will differ slightly from previous versions of PowerPoint.

Now go to the file directory where you saved the presentation and rename your .pptx file to .zip – In this example we have used Yin Yang PPT template for the demo.

Afterward, go to your favorite archive extractor tool ( WinZip or WinRar , for example) and open the .zip file.

You will see the content inside the zip archive , and there you will need to extract the files in a directory and browse the folder content. All the diagrams, sounds, images, music, video, etc. is saved in this archive.

Here we have learn how to extract video from a PPT file. If you want to extract images, we recommend to check out the best ways to extract images from a PowerPoint presentation .

We will send you our curated collections to your email weekly. No spam, promise!

Turn your presentation into a video

When you make a recording of a presentation, all its elements (narration, animation, pointer movements, timings, and so on) are saved in the presentation itself. In essence, the presentation becomes a video that your audience can watch in PowerPoint.

So you have two options for turning your presentation into a video that's ready to view:

Save/export your presentation to a video file format (.mp4 or .wmv).

Save your presentation as a PowerPoint Show (.ppsx) file. (A PowerPoint Show appears full-screen in Slide Show, ready to view immediately.)

Save as a video file

After you've created your slides and recorded any timing and narrations and laser pointer gestures that you want to include, you're ready to create a video file.

On the File menu, select Save to ensure all your recent work has been saved in PowerPoint presentation format (.pptx).

Click File > Export > Create a Video . (Or, on the Recording tab of the ribbon, click Export to Video .)

In the first drop-down box under the Create a Video heading, select the video quality you want, which pertains to the resolution of the finished video. The higher the video quality, the larger the file size. (You may want to test them to determine which one meets your needs.)

* The Ultra HD (4K) option is only available if you're using Windows 10 or later.

The second drop-down box under the Create a Video heading tells whether your presentation includes narration and timings. (You may switch this setting if you like.)

If you haven't recorded timed narration, by default the value is Don't Use Recorded Timings and Narrations .

The default time spent on each slide is 5 seconds. You can change that timing in the Seconds to spend on each slide box. To the right of the box, click the up arrow to increase the duration, or click the down arrow to decrease the duration.

If you have recorded a timed narration, by default the value is Use Recorded Timings and Narrations .

Click Create Video .

In the File name box, enter a file name for the video, browse for the folder that will contain this file, and then click Save .

In the Save as type box, choose either MPEG-4 Video or Windows Media Video .

You can track the progress of the video creation by looking at the status bar at the bottom of your screen. The video creation process can take up to several hours depending on the length of the video and the complexity of the presentation.

Tip:    For a long video, you can set it up to be created overnight. That way, it’ll be ready for you the following morning.

To play your newly-created video, go to the designated folder location, and then double-click the file.

Save as a PowerPoint Show

When someone opens a PowerPoint Show file, it appears full-screen in Slide Show, rather than in edit mode. The viewer begins watching the presentation immediately.

On the File menu, select Save As .

Choose the folder location where you want to store your PowerPoint Show file.

In the Save as type box, choose PowerPoint Show (*.ppsx) .

Select Save .

Why turn your presentation into a video?

When you want to give a high-fidelity version of your presentation to colleagues or customers (either as an e-mail attachment, published to the web, on a CD or DVD), save it and let it play as a video.

You can save your presentation as either an MPEG-4 video file (.mp4) or a .wmv file. Both formats are widely supported and can be streamed over the internet.

Some tips to remember when recording your presentation as a video:

You can record and time voice narration and laser pointer movements in your video.

You can control the size of the multimedia file and the quality of your video.

You can include animations and transitions in your movie.

Viewers do not need to have PowerPoint installed on their computers to watch it.

If your presentation contains an embedded video, the video will play correctly without your needing to control it.

Depending on the content of your presentation, creating a video may take some time. Lengthy presentations and presentations with animations, transitions, and media content will likely take longer to create. Fortunately, you can continue to use PowerPoint while the video is being created

What parts of a presentation won't be included in a video?

The following items won't be included in a video that you create using PowerPoint:

Media inserted in previous versions of PowerPoint. To include these, you can convert or upgrade the media object.

For example, if you inserted the media using PowerPoint 2007, it will be linked and it will play in the presentation.  However, when you export the file as a video, the linked media will be dropped.  You can convert the file to the new file format (click the File tab, and under Info , click Convert ), or you can right-click the media object and then click to upgrade; it will embed the file and export it correctly.

QuickTime media (unless you have a third-party QuickTime codec named ffdShow installed and you have optimized for compatibility)

OLE/ActiveX controls

What to do with your video after creating it

After you create a video, you can share it with others by using the following methods:

Email your presentation to others

Save to a file share or other location

Upload it to your organization's Microsoft Stream video-sharing site , as described in the next section, "Save to a video-sharing site."

Save to the Microsoft video-sharing site

After you've created the video file, you can upload it to a video-sharing site. Microsoft Stream is an enterprise video service where people in an organization can upload, view, and share videos. Microsoft 365 business or education subscribers have access to this service from within PowerPoint for Microsoft 365. 

Select File > Export , and then select Publish to Microsoft Stream .

Type a title and a description for the video.

Set other options, including whether you want others in your organization to have permission to see the video:

Select the Publish button.

The upload process can take several minutes, depending on the length of the video. A status bar at the bottom of the PowerPoint window tracks the progress, and PowerPoint shows a message when the upload is finished:

Click the message to go directly to the video playback page on Microsoft Stream.

For more information about this service, begin reading with What is Microsoft Stream? It includes information about Office 365 Video vs. Microsoft Stream.

1 The Ultra HD (4K) option is only available if you're using Windows 10 or later. 2 In PowerPoint 2016, the Ultra HD (4K) option isn't available in the Volume License edition.

When someone opens a PowerPoint Show file, it appears full-screen in Slide Show, rather than in edit mode. The viewer begins watching the presentation immediately.

Burn your presentation to a disc

Click File > Export > Create a Video .

PowerPoint 2013 and newer versions can save your presentation as either an MPEG-4 video file (.mp4) or a .wmv file. Both formats are widely supported and can be streamed over the internet.
