Description Hector A. Recinos 2014-11-25 11:26:20 UTC
Suggestion:

File Save As: Avi, WMF, or any video file format.

Presentations have a added value if not all systems support a presentation easily but a video file is accepted easily.

As of LO 4.4.0.0.beta2 on Ubuntu 14.04, there's Flash export support:

  File -> Export -> Macromedia Flash (SWF).

Flash export has a few limitations:
 bug 50792 - FILESAVE: Slideshow transitions and automatic progression lost when exported to Flash
 bug 43526 - Impress functionality request: Exporting a Presentation containing audio narration to FLASH

There's an open bug to support converting a presentation to video, but that bug includes support for a screencast-style recording of the voice of the presenter:
  bug 34959 comment 9

It would be nice to have a simple export to video, with no voiceover support. It would include all of the slides, animations, and embedded audio/video clips.

An open format would be preferred -- perhaps WebM so it could play in a browser (Firefox, Chrome/ium, etc..).
