As you know, there are several ways to create a new project in ActivePresenter 9. For example, create a project from a blank one, themes/templates, or video files.

Import PowerPoint Files to ActivePresenter
You can import PowerPoint slides directly into ActivePresenter 9 even if your computer doesn’t have Microsoft PowerPoint installed. Do either of the following ways to have it done:
- On the Start Page, click Import PowerPoint > browse and select the PowerPoint file you want to import.
- In the workspace, click the ActivePresenter button (1) > Import PowerPoint (2) > select the PowerPoint file on your computer.
Customize Imported Slides
After importing the file, ActivePresenter 9 will launch a new project which includes all slides of the PowerPoint presentation. Each PowerPoint slide becomes an ActivePresenter one. It means you can work with the imported slides as usual. In particular, it’s able to use tools and commands to edit them and their content, for example:
- Copying, cutting, or deleting slides,
- Splitting and merging slides,
- Changing slide transition effects, and more.
