Learn more about import limits

• You can generate videos with a 10-minute limit.
• If your video contains audio tracks already, your import limit might be lower than 45. The import window will show a message: "Select [X] or fewer slides to import", to let you know the exact limit.
  • You can only have 50 audio objects in a video.
• If "Convert Slides" is grayed out in the File menu, the video file is too large to import slides at that time. You'll only be able to use this feature when you make your video shorter.
• You can’t import word art and video files from your slides into your video.
• If you import content that makes your video longer than 10 minutes, a warning bar will appear at the top of your screen. You’ll need to shorten your video.

2. In Vids, copy the scenes that you want to use in your presentation.
3. In Slides, paste the scenes into a new or available presentation.
