A system to produce an interactive video presentation for a player having playback controls based upon a slide presentation, the system comprising:

• an content extractor to extract slide content from a slide of the slide presentation;
• a video generator coupled with the content extractor to produce a first video frame having the slide content associated with a position within the first video frame based upon the location from which the slide content is extracted from the slide;
• and
• an authoring tool to link the first video frame with a subsequent video frame to provide a path between the video frames, navigable by user input via the playback controls, to create the interactive video presentation.

• and
• a medium writer to store the interactive video presentation on a medium.

A machine-readable medium containing instructions, which when executed by a machine, cause said machine to perform operations, comprising:

• receiving the slide presentation, wherein the slide presentation comprises a first slide and a second slide, the first slide having a slide content at a location within the first slide;
• extracting the slide content;
• associating the slide content with a first video frame at a position within the first video frame based upon the location;
• and
• linking the first video frame with a subsequent video frame to provide a path between the video frames, navigable by user input via the playback controls, to create an interactive video presentation.
