   Are you planning to use the audio from church sermons or re-record them for youtube? If the latter, there's a pretty easy way. Download some screencast software, load up your Powerpoint and record. I suppose that you could even run that kind of software on the church computer and record it first time around.

   Great tip Paul, thanks.

   If you want a free version.... although screencast is cheapish anyway...

   When you do the powerpoint presentation instead of making a slide have 2 or 3 animations on it - make a separate slide. i.e if you have 3 bulletpoints for instance, put the first on one, copy it onto the nest slide and put the second bulletpoint on, repeat and put on the third one. (It's doesn't take much more time - you just get proficient with copy and paste.) THEN save the presentation in PNG format. This saves every slide separately - use these with moviemaker and your audio - making a note of the times you want the slides to appear and job done... and costs nothing (cheapskate approach I know...)

   Have done this myself - takes a bit of work initially but gets quicker with time...

   Thanks Toddy. Yeah I may well go with this. I'd quite like to be able to preserve animations (arrows stretching, people moving about, things fading into other things) which might necessitate the screencast. But slide-by-slide is a good tip.

   Cheers
