Not long ago I was looking for a simple method to convert PowerPoint PPTX Files to MP4s. This functionality unfortunately cannot be achieved natively in Microsoft PowerPoint (as of 9th of Jan 2020).
- Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/tomjdickson/PPTX2MP4.git - Change directory
cd PPTXMP4 - Install dependencies
pip install -r dependencies.txt
- Or manually install the dependencies:
- Win32Com
pip install pywin32
Note if you recieve the following error message.
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywin32>=223 (from pypiwin32) (from versions:) No matching distribution found for pywin32>=223 (from pypiwin32).
An upgrade to pip is required pip install --upgrade pip
There is a lot left for me to do here. The todo will be updated shortly.
- Add configuration file to contain:
- Path for file to be extracted
- Add CLI parameters that override the configuration file
- Log file - Output of every run will populate the log file.
- API - I want to wrap this in an API to allow people to use my website to convert their files via the web. This will be added to the examples folder.
