How to Use PowerPoint × Vyond Effectively

Thumbnail

Vyond is a cloud-based service that allows you to create animated videos without specialized video editing skills. Characters, backgrounds, movements (actions), and audio are pre-prepared, and you can create videos by selecting and arranging these elements. The operation is intuitive and can be handled with a feel similar to PowerPoint. This article introduces the similarities between Vyond and PowerPoint, as well as how to integrate them.

1. Similarities Between Vyond's Operability and PowerPoint

Vyond is sometimes described as having operability similar to PowerPoint. This is because it allows very easy video editing and animation creation. In practice, you can select and place objects from the menu, and the placed objects can be easily edited through drag operations and the like.

However, since Vyond has unique features and a different user experience, including the presence of a timeline, being able to use PowerPoint does not mean you don’t need to learn how to use Vyond.

Here are Vyond's features

Additionally, various scene templates, animated objects, and AI for video and image generation are also implemented.

3. Integration between Vyond and PowerPoint

■ Integration ① Importing from PowerPoint to Vyond

Vyond has a feature to import PowerPoint slides. You can create a rough layout in PowerPoint and then add or edit characters and animations there, which can help streamline your workflow.

However, as of April 2026, this feature is available as a beta version. While it can import text, images, videos, and audio, there are the following points to note.

・Information set in the PowerPoint slide master will not be imported
・Objects that cannot be reproduced will be deleted
・Font styles (such as size) will be reset

How to Use

① Select the "+Create" button on the Vyond homepage

② Select the "Import slides" button

③ Specify the file and import

The most practical way to import PowerPoint into Vyond is to save the PowerPoint slides as images or videos and then import them into Vyond.

■ Integration ② Importing from Vyond to PowerPoint

Videos and animations created with Vyond can be downloaded in the following formats. All of these can be directly imported into PowerPoint via drag & drop, allowing you to further enhance the quality of your PowerPoint materials.

■Video Formats (MP4・Webm)

MP4 is a common video format. It has a lightweight file size and is easy to use for both short and long videos.

Webm is a new video format that supports features such as transparent backgrounds. *Note: Transparent backgrounds are not rendered in PowerPoint.

■GIF Animation Format (GIF)

This is an image format that moves like a video. It is an old technology with high versatility and can be used in various environments such as PowerPoint and websites.

Since the file size tends to be large, it is suitable for short videos of a few seconds.

■Still Image Format (PNG)

You can generate one still image per scene in Vyond.

You can paste them directly into PowerPoint or edit and use them as needed.

■Slide Format (PPTX)

This feature extracts images of each scene in Vyond along with playback times and other details.

It is not intended for publishing content, but mainly serves as a function for reviewing videos and animations. However, depending on how it is used, the generated scene images can also be utilized for publication purposes.

4. Specific Use Case Examples

e-Learning

Many e-learning contents are created based on PowerPoint. For example, by embedding Vyond animations in the introduction, you can create a sense of familiarity with the content and engage learners. Additionally, you can create case studies as animations to let learners experience them as relatable situations.

e-Learning Example

Sales & Presentations

You can supplement information that cannot be conveyed by text alone using video and audio. By also utilizing GIF animations, you can add movement to your usual PowerPoint materials.

Sales and Presentation Example

Marketing

Files such as videos and GIF animations created with Vyond can be used not only in PowerPoint but also as web content. They can be embedded as part of a website or published as marketing videos on platforms like YouTube.
