Everything is self-contained to your PowerPoint presentation. One of the other benefits of this method is that it will work without an Internet connection.
If you would like to see the actual video that I recorded in this session it’s available on YouTube here… The final product is very smooth and works very well. The video on the tutorial is a bit jerky because I was running both Adobe Captivate and Camstudio. If you would like to see a larger version of the tutorial you can do so here at this link. Here is a video demonstration…(Note – the tutorial starts as soon as you click the link) Once you’re done, save the screen capture as an AVI file, which can be imported into PowerPoint. You simply start the capture program recording, then visit the sites you want in Google Earth. Using screen capture you don’t even need to create a Google Earth tour. I recommend the free CamStudio, which is a simple, lightweight screen capture program. Jing is great, but the free version only saves as a Flash SWF file, which won’t work with PowerPoint. Here’s how it’s done… First, you need some sort of screen capture program that will save your work as a standard video file. The first involves just exporting static images from Google Earth and putting those images into your slides. Well, there are a couple of ways, but they’re not perfect.
However, I still get inquiries for the other way around – adding Google Earth to PowerPoint, even though the two points above make it difficult, if not impossible. I’ve already demonstrated how it’s possible to add PowerPoint slides to Google Earth.
You could also embed a web page that has the Google Earth plug-in for web enabled, but that get’s to be more complicated than it’s worth. You could create a link on your slide that opens a KMZ file outside of PowerPoint in Google Earth itself. Embedding Google Earth – Right now there is no good way to get Google Earth to play in a PowerPoint slide.These are NOT video files, and they cannot be easily imported into another program. However, the files that are created are KMZ files that can only be opened in Google Earth. Google Earth Tours – Yes, you can create and save tours.Therefore, I’ve put together a tutorial for one method, but first it might be helpful to clear up a few things. This website gets lots of hits from folks wanting to learn how to embed Google Earth into their presentations, but Google hasn’t made it easy. The reader wanted to know how to put a Google Earth tour into PowerPoint. I recently received a request for help from one of my readers regarding Google Earth and PowerPoint.
