HELP! Trying to convert a powerpoint to wmv file

Colours

Hi hoping someone can help as am totally stuck.

I've put together a powerpoint presentation in which there are animation and audio in most the slides and I've set it up so that each slides automatically transitions into the next.

I need to upload it to youtube so as far as I understand it, I've first to convert it to a video file, namely a wmv file. This is the bit where I'm not having any joy as when I click on the "Export to video" button, it messes up all my animation and sound sequences. So then I clicked on "Record slide show" and deselecting the "with narrations..etc" option and where I have to click to launch into the next slide but then this hangs at the stage where I go to compress it.

I'm wondering does any powerpoint expert reading this have a quick fix or can see what I'm doing wrong? If so your advice would be very appreciated!

Thank you

Google "Turn-your-presentation-into-a-video" and the first or second link with bring you to a Microsoft office site that explains what you need to do. Not sure if you need Office 2010 or above.

Thanks Schaffer I did Google it and followed the directions given in the first search result but I couldn't get beyond the step to "Record slide show".

Am currently attempting to upload it to a hosting site called authorstream which was what the third search result recommended so am waiting to see if that works.

Not sure if you got this sorted, but we have powerpoint 2010 or 2013 and it just does it for you under save-as

Here is some details anyway
