Animated GIF is not a good format for this:

 * it won't adapt to the user's screen definition, you'll have to use a
   lowest common denominator
 * due to the small number of available colors edges of text and
   diagrams will look pixellated
 * it won't adapt to your user's reading speed

Why don't you convert your PPT to PDF instead?
