Video Presentation Maker

EchoWave is a free video presentation maker that runs in your browser. Record your slides and webcam together with the built-in presentation recorder, or upload a screen recording and build around it. Add narration in one of 63 AI voices, auto-caption every word, trim the ums out by editing the transcript, then export an MP4 ready for email, LinkedIn or your LMS. Nothing to install, and rendering happens in the cloud, so an old laptop works fine.

Slides to video

Turn a deck and a webcam into a video people finish

Most presentation tools stop at the recording. EchoWave is a video presentation maker built on a full multi-track editor, so the raw take is where the work starts. Cut mistakes, add captions and callouts, and re-record one slide without redoing the rest. If you only need to capture a deck, the presentation recorder covers that, and the tutorial video maker and training video maker go deeper on teaching content.

What you get

Everything a presentation video needs, in one editor

Record, narrate, caption and polish without moving files between four different tools.

  • Record slides, screen and webcam together

    The recorder studio captures your screen and camera at the same time, with a teleprompter so you can read your script while looking at the lens. Your webcam lands on its own track, so you can move, resize or hide the bubble per slide after the fact. If capturing the deck is the whole job, start with the presentation recorder.

  • Narrate with AI voices or your own

    Type your script and generate a voiceover in one of 63 natural AI voices covering American and British English, Mandarin, Hindi, Japanese, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian and French. Or record your own narration with the voice recorder. Voice cloning, which makes the narration sound like you, is available on paid plans.

  • Captions that keep muted viewers watching

    Auto-captions transcribe your narration with word-level timing, and the spoken language is detected automatically. Pick from 176 caption presets, including word-by-word karaoke styles, then, on Pro, translate the subtitles into any of 86 languages or show two languages at once for international teams.

  • Cut the ums by editing the transcript

    Text-based editing shows your whole presentation as a transcript. Delete a sentence and the video cuts itself. One click removes filler words like ums and uhs, and another strips the dead air between sentences.

  • Animate bullets, callouts and zoom pops

    Bring static slides to life with 81 text and element animations plus keyframes on position, scale, rotation and opacity. Add a zoom pop to focus attention on one part of the screen, draw a motion path for an arrow, or ask Echo, the built-in AI assistant, to do it for you. Join sections with any of 56 transitions.

  • Picture-in-picture, split screen and blur

    Layer your webcam over the deck, switch to split screen for interview-style sections, and blur or pixelate anything sensitive in a screen recording, like customer names in a dashboard. Every layer sits on its own track, so layout changes never touch your audio.

  • Brand kit and reusable templates

    Save your brand colors and logo, and upload the fonts your company actually uses so titles match your deck. Turn a finished presentation into a template with text, image and video placeholders, then render personalized versions in bulk from a CSV, up to 100 rows per batch.

  • A video presentation maker with honest export options

    Free accounts export HD 720p MP4 with a small removable EchoWave badge. Paid plans remove the badge and add 1080p on Creator, then 1440p, 4K, MOV and GIF on Pro. Rendering runs on EchoWave's cloud servers, so export speed does not depend on your laptop.

How it works

How to make a video presentation

From a slide deck to a shareable MP4 in four steps, all in the browser.

  1. Bring in your slides

    Export your deck as PNG images from PowerPoint or Google Slides and drag them into EchoWave, or skip the export and capture the slideshow directly with the built-in screen recorder. Each slide or clip lands on the timeline, where you can reorder and retime it freely.

  2. Add your narration

    Record yourself with the webcam and teleprompter, or paste your script and generate an AI voiceover in one of 63 voices. Narration sits on its own audio track, so you can redo one section without touching the slides.

  3. Caption and tighten the edit

    Run auto-captions and pick one of 176 styles, then read through the transcript and delete anything that drags. Filler word and silence removal handle the ums automatically. Drop in transitions between sections and a zoom pop wherever you want eyes on a detail.

  4. Export and share

    Export an MP4 and send it by email, drop it in Slack, upload it to your LMS, or post it on LinkedIn or YouTube. Free exports are 720p with a small removable badge; paid plans go up to 4K with no badge.

Who uses it

Presentation videos teams actually ship

  • Sales demos and async pitches

    Record a five-minute product walkthrough with your face in the corner and send it instead of chasing a meeting slot. Captions keep it watchable in a noisy office or a muted inbox preview.

  • Lectures and course modules

    Teachers turn slide decks into narrated lessons students can rewatch at their own pace, with subtitles translated into any of 86 languages (Pro) for international cohorts. The tutorial video maker covers longer step-by-step teaching formats.

  • Employee onboarding and training

    HR and enablement teams narrate a policy deck once and reuse it for every new hire, blurring anything confidential that appears in screen captures. The training video maker walks through building a full course.

  • Conference talks and meetups

    Pre-record your talk with the teleprompter so the pacing is right before the event, or tidy the live recording afterwards. Cut the tech-check fumbling from the start and add your title slide back in.

  • Product updates and release notes

    Record the new feature in action, add zoom pops on the parts that changed, and caption it for the changelog. A two-minute video answers questions a wall of text never will.

  • Personalized outreach at scale

    Turn one presentation into a template with placeholders for the prospect's name and logo, then batch-render up to 100 personalized versions from a single CSV. The REST API and MCP server can automate the whole run.

Video Presentation Maker FAQ

Is EchoWave's video presentation maker free?

Yes. You can record, edit, preview and export free. Free exports are HD 720p MP4 with a small removable EchoWave badge and a short branded end card. Paid plans remove both and add 1080p on Creator, then 1440p, 4K, MOV and GIF on Pro.

How do I turn a PowerPoint into a video?

PowerPoint can export a basic video on its own under File, Export, Create a Video, but you get no captions, webcam or real editing. For more control, export your slides as PNG images, drag them into EchoWave, set the timing per slide, and add narration and captions. You can also present the deck on screen and capture it with the presentation recorder, then edit the take.

How do I record myself presenting slides?

Open the recorder studio, choose screen plus webcam, and pick the window showing your slides. Your camera records to a separate track, so afterwards you can move the bubble, resize it, or hide it during data-heavy slides. The built-in teleprompter scrolls your script over the recorder so you keep eye contact with the lens.

How long should a video presentation be?

Shorter than the live version. Two to five minutes works best for sales pitches and updates, while training and lectures can run 10 to 20 minutes if you break them into chapters. EchoWave's filler and silence removal helps tighten a rambling first take without changing what you said.

Can I add a voiceover without recording my own voice?

Yes. Paste your script and generate narration in one of 63 AI voices spanning American and British English, Mandarin, Hindi, Japanese, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian and French, plus nine multilingual Expressive voices. Voice cloning, which makes the narration sound like you, is a paid feature.

Can viewers watch my presentation without sound?

Yes, and many will. Auto-captions transcribe your narration with word-level timestamps, and 176 caption presets control the look, including karaoke styles with active-word fill. On Pro you can translate the subtitles into 86 languages, show two languages at once, and burn them permanently into the exported video.

Can I import my Google Slides or PowerPoint file directly?

Not as a .pptx or Slides file. Export the deck as PNG images, which both apps do in a couple of clicks, and drag the images in, or present the deck on screen and capture it with the screen recorder. Slide images support Ken Burns pan and zoom, so static slides still have motion.

What format should I export a video presentation in?

MP4 with H.264 is the safe answer: it plays everywhere, uploads cleanly to YouTube and LinkedIn, and embeds in any LMS. Free exports are 720p MP4. Creator adds 1080p and WebM, and Pro adds 1440p, 4K, MOV and GIF.

Do I need to install anything or have a fast computer?

No. EchoWave runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on Mac, Windows, Linux and Chromebooks, and rendering happens on cloud servers rather than your machine. Desktop apps for Mac and Windows exist if you prefer one, but the browser version is the same editor.

Record, narrate and caption it free in your browser; free exports are HD with a small removable badge.
