SlidesLive is TED for everyone. We provide you with the tool for recording talks without requiring expensive
equipment or TV crews. Whether you are organizing local meetups, business conferences, or company trainings,
SlidesLive is the right tool for you. Our goal is to record every presentation for present and future generations
to see.
How does it work?
It all starts with downloading our app. SlidesLive records
your slides and voice, then automatically synchronizes your presentation with either video or audio. Watch the
tutorial below for details:
Recording
What does it take to record a presentation?
All you need is a laptop and our application. It’s also possible to create just an audio-presentation. Your
results will be even better when filmed with an external video camera or smartphone.
How to use SlidesLive app on multiple computers?
We have a portable version designed for use on an USB flash drive
(download SlidesLive for USB). Simply unzip the file to a USB
flash drive, insert it into your computer, and get started. To record your presentation slides and audio onto the
USB flash drive, you will need a memory capacity of 1Gigabyte on your USB flash drive for every hour of
presentation. Afterwards, it’s essential to use the Safely Remove function before taking the flash drive from your
device, otherwise your recorded presentation will be damaged. That's it.
What if there are more presentations in a row?
No problem, just leave SlidesLive running throughout the entire event. It will even split the recording into
individual presentations after you add the video files.
Do I have to be online to record my presentation?
Not at all. Presentations are recorded offline and uploaded whenever convenient for you. There is no need to be
worried about the Internet connection.
Slides
Where do I have to add the slides?
Slides are recorded live during the actual presentation. You don't have to manually add or upload them anywhere.
Is it possible to edit presentations and delete slides?
Basic editing capability is included with the app. You can name the presentation and change the start and
endpoint. After uploading the presentation online, you can enter the advanced Slides editor where you can delete
slides, upload new images, change timing, and a lot more.
What software can I use for my presentation?
SlidesLive records your screen live, so use anything you like. It could be PowerPoint, Prezi, PDF, Keynote, Google
Docs, Photos or even your browser.
Video & Audio
How to create video with the presentation next to it?
Go to your slides recording in the SlidesLive app and click Edit. At the bottom, click Add video here. Browse
for our Drag Drop video files that you want to synchronize with the slides. Click Save followed by Upload &
Sync.
Tip: Just add the video as you want it and slides will automatically be synced with it.
How do I connect a video camera to SlidesLive?
You don't need to make a direct connection. You can make a video on any phone, camera, or device. Afterwards,
download the video files to your computer or upload them to YouTube. Enter video link directly into the SlidesLive
app or at the slideslive.com website and your slides and video will be automatically synchronized.
What audio/video sources can be synchronized with my slides?
Lots. You can add video files (avi, mp4, mpg, mts, m2ts, ts, mov, mkv, 3gp) as well as audio files (wav, mp3).
My camera has divided the video into multiple files. How can I merge or splice them together?
Easily. Add all video files into SlidesLive and check the "Merge together" box. SlidesLive will merge all files
into one video.
Can SlidesLive record videos directly from a webcam?
No. You would need to record the webcam output via different software, then add it to the presentation as a video
file. But you can make a video on any phone, camera, or device. This is better since a webcam is hard to position.
