I like PPT to VideoScout a lot. I find Powerpoint much underused (or badly used just to make boring text bullet points slides). In fact, some effective simple animations can be created in Powerpoint without having to resort to anything as complicated as Flash. However, PPT is just PPT; I have always wanted to convert my PPT animations to video and until now, any conversion tools I tried were only partially satisfactory. I have not been using Scout for very long, but so far, it has reproduced all my different PPT animation effects, transitions, timing, sound etc. perfectly as very nice videos. –Linda
