"Easy" is an ambiguous term... I can tell you how I do this (I use xml, 
but with a bit of code, this can be adapted to TeX documents): I have 
the code for the slides and my own comments in the same documents; I 
pass a --mode to the compilation to filter and select content. When I 
have my presentation as a file "presentation.pdf," I save it and then 
have the slides included automatically via a counter, like this:

function xml.functions.combined_slide(t)
	i = i + 1
	local textwidth = tex.dimen.textwidth
	context.page()
	context.framed( { width=number.todimen(textwidth), frame="off", 
align="middle", height="10cm" },
		function() context.externalfigure( { "presentation.pdf" }, { page=i, 
width="13cm" } ) end )
	context.blank { "line" }
end

So, as others have said: no need to convert to png. Setting up a 
workflow takes some time and thought, but once it's in place, it works 
very well; I have now used my xml-based workflow for 12 years or so, for 
all my university lectures and talks.
