Using the Presto Wizard for Windows
This section shows Step 2 of 5 for creating a Presto project with your presentation slides and videos in Vegas Pro. Go to Step 3.
Step 2: Get Slides
In this step you will add the slide image files generated by PowerPoint® or Keynote to
your project media. If you don't have the presentation converted to image files
yet, see How to convert PowerPoint or Keynote for help.
Click the Add Slide Files... button and select all of the image files
associated with the presentation.
- After you click OK in the file chooser, the wizard will display all your slides so you can check that you have what you need.
- If you find that you added some slides that are not needed for the
presentation video, just click the checkbox beside each slide you need to
remove, then click Remove.
- The slide images will not appear on the project timeline just yet. In the next step, Presto will automagically populate the slide track with
these images by analyzing your video of the projection screen.

Notes about this step
- If you add other images to your project using the Vegas Pro Explorer, or
using drag-and-drop, they will not be added to the slide list. You need to
use the Add Slide Files... button to have them
included in the list of images that Presto will use for automatic slide
synchronization.
- If you use Vegas Pro's Project Media view to remove a slide that you
added using Presto, then Presto will automatically remove that slide from
the slide list.
- The name of each slide file must be unique, even if they are retrieved
from
different folders. Presto will prevent you from loading files with the
same name into the slide list. The slides should be named so that they
sort in the same order that they were shown in the presentation. Apart from cases where the presenter backed up to a previous slide, or
skipped some slides, Presto can handle these scenarios. Go here for further
help with slide file renaming, which may be necessary when you have to work
with multiple presentations at the same time.
- If slide images are not available for the presentation, or you did a screen capture and don't need to synchronize the original slide images with
this video, then check the box labelled I don't have slides for this
presentation. This checkbox is only visible if the slide list
is empty.
