Presentation Slides in Video

   I do training videos, where I use slides as well as video. I started with Camtasia, recording Powerpoint presentations, but the editing was limited and difficult, and I moved to Vegas. In Vegas, I drop images of the slides from the Powerpoint, video clips, and audio tracks. This has worked OK, and is a lot easier to edit.

   The problem is that I'm left with still, boring slides. I can't use any of the reveals (like line by line) or transitions in Powerpoint. I see some videos where they have very dynamic slides with all the animation (and then some).

   My question is this... what do they use to incorporate slides into their videos, to get professional-looking results without having to screen-record a Powerpoint? Would I use a titling package like Boris Graffiti, or something like AfterEffects? Any other ideas?

   Thanks!

   Vegas has some nice transitions built in (think George Lucas wipes) but for some really nice transitions, look at Digital Juice Swipes - they are graphical animated wipes (some with double alpha) that optionally have coordinated sounds with them. DJ just put them on clearance this week at almost giveaway prices (they are retiring the line, along with many other products).  You can view them and other products at http://www.digitaljuice.com.

    Boris Graffitti is a good program.  I am doing something similar and can use title transitions and overlays to do the point by point transitions and so far, it is working pretty well.
