Make a narrated video lesson from a PPTX deck

A safety officer at a commercial construction firm has a 28-slide fall protection deck with detailed speaker notes that he presents in person twice a month. Crews on remote sites cannot attend. He wants a narrated lesson draft from the deck that follows his notes rather than reading the bullets, and that is honest about being slides with narration, not a filmed walkthrough.

A storyboard connects each slide to a spoken explanation and a proposed duration.

• The officer uploads the deck to Creation Studio and confirms that the speaker notes are the approved narration source.
• Elvina builds a storyboard that pairs each slide with its spoken explanation drawn from the notes and proposes a duration per slide.
• He reviews the storyboard, shortens three slides that lacked notes and would otherwise have read bullets aloud, and fixes one transition.
• He generates the draft lesson with a permitted voice and sends it to the site superintendents for review.

A fictional contractor, Ironbridge Construction, trains 180 field workers on fall protection. The deck is Fall-Protection-Toolbox-2026.pptx with notes on 25 of 28 slides. It includes two embedded videos and one animated diagram. The safety officer is the content owner.

• The storyboard runs 21 minutes with a spoken explanation for every slide and a flag on the three slides that had no notes.
• The two embedded videos were carried over; the animated diagram was flagged as unsupported and replaced with a still.
• Superintendents reviewed the draft and asked for one anchor point example to be clarified before release.

Review notes, transitions and media compatibility. Do not read every bullet verbatim or represent the result as a screen recording.

• Narration follows the speaker notes and does not read slide bullets verbatim.
• Slides without notes are flagged and given a written explanation, not skipped.
• Embedded media and animations either work in the lesson or are replaced deliberately.
• The lesson is presented as narrated slides, not as a recording of the actual procedure.

A deck becomes a narrated lesson, not a demonstration; if the deck was thin, the lesson will be thin. Elvina cannot invent notes for slides that have none, and some animations and embedded objects do not carry over. The safety officer reviews transitions and media before crews see it; regulatory content stays his responsibility.
