Inserting Video into Powerpoint Slide

I need to place digital video into a powerpoint slide, what would be the quicktime settings, should it be interlaced or progressive?

In addition to those things already suggested I would add the following:
If the presentation is being run from a windows platform (likely if you are preparing for powerpoint), they usually handle mpeg or wmv files better than quicktime.
When making the mpeg or wmv, don't set the resolution or bit rates too high. There are usually fairly high overheads of memory and processor usage in running a video within the presentation and if the resolution or bit rate is too high the system won't keep up. This results in poor quality video, dropped frames etc. For the same reason it is a good idea not to resize the video in the presentation. Audiences usually accept slightly soft or blocky video better than stuttering ones.
Make sure the files are copied to the system's hard drive and not run from a CD. Laptop drives often have trouble keeping up with higher data rates and they are usually set to spin down when not in use for a while.
Test the result on the target system!!! If you can't access the target system find a slow one to test it on unless you know the performance of the one it will be run on.
Our company does live event work as well as post-production and we often see bad results, usually accompanied by comments like "it ran all right at home (on son/daughter's gaming machine), but it isn't working very well on my (5 year old) laptop".
In summing up, I would suggest being conservative rather than trying to impress with dazzling effects and huge high resolution pictures.

  • How do I insert video into my webpage?

    I am using Dreamweaver 8. I have taken my camcorder video and uploaded it to youtube and copied the mp4 file to my hard drive.
    I have created a page with several videos on the page. I created a screenshot of the video and sized it to the appropriate size. I then created a link to the video mp4 file. However it opens in a separate page.
    I want to have the video open on the same page in the same location as the screenshot. Click on the image and it just starts playing.
    I notice that I can get it to do this if it is a flash (.flv) file but since all of my videos are mp4 that won't work.
    How do I insert video into my webpage? Do I convert the mp4 files to flash? How? What do I do?
    Thanks

  • Embedding YouTube video into PowerPoint for Mac

    How can one embed a YouTube video into PowerPoint for Mac 2010?  The video tutorials do not show the same Power Point (for Mac) that I'm using.  Even if I can just save (and retrieve) the file I just might be able to convert it to an MP4 for YouTube.  I've tried keepvid and it wants a valid file format.  The default is a text which doesn't work.  I've spent about 8 hours over the past 2 days trying to figure it out.  HELP!!!!!!

  • Best practice when it comes to inserting audio for powerpoint slides

    I'm creating a mixture of PowerPoint slides with animation and software simulation projects from captivate.
    Currently I have developed the audio files associated with the animation objects for the PowerPoint slide. My question
    Should I insert the audio files into PowerPoint and edit the timing of the animation based on the duration of the audio. I have been playing around with the editing and too be honest, I'm getting a tad frustrated trying to conduct the timing.
    or
    Should I insert the audio via Captivate after importing the PowerPoint slides?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Regards
    AJ

    In the Library all audio clips will be stored. Either from the Library or using the Audio Management panel, you can edit the audio clips directly in Audition (part of the Adobe Creative Cloud, one of the best audio applications available) and when saving they are automatically edited in Captivate as well. Same work flow exists with Photoshop: you can edit a source Photoshop file, where Captivate will keep the wanted layers as separate images in the Library, and you can edit them from Captivate right away in Photoshop. The integration of Captivate with other Adobe applications is unique in the eLearning tools.

  • Insert SWF into PowerPoint 2010?

    When I wanted to insert a SWF into a PowerPoint 2007 presentation, I would use the More Controls dialog in PowerPoint's Developer tab to insert a Shockwave/Flash object. But in PowerPoint 2010, that control is missing from the dialog. Where did it go? When I click the Register Custom DLL, there's no obvious file to choose, either.
    Has anyone else run into this? I'm not looking for a way to convert a SWF into a video that can be embedded or using a 3rd-party plug-in or anything like that. I know how to do those things. I'm specifically looking to insert a SWF using only what's built into PowerPoint and Flash, so if anyone has info on it, please let me know!

    I have installed PowerPoint 2010 beta release on my machine. I was able to attach a SWF file to the presentation successfully. All options to insert a video are located on the Insert tab, in the Media group. Please refer to the link below on how to insert a flash movie to the presentation.

    Also Microsoft have provided support for Flash in PowerPoint 2010. To find the list of supported formats please visit the following link:

  • Help with html code - inserting video into Muse

    I am seeking help writing the code to insert a video into Muse. I uploaded video into my Business Catalyst hosting. I need it to autoplay, loop and not show any controls or frames.
    When I host video on Vimeo or YouTube, I see markings on the video that is why I am trying to just host in the same place that the files are stored for my website. If there is a way to host on youtube with out any markings showing up on the video I would be open to that too.
    I don't want to see any play button or time bar.
    Thanks in advance!!

    Hello,
    Just as an FYI - we also have an HTML5 video tool over at MuseThemes.com that achieves this, but works on mobile devices as well. The link above looks like it uses Flash, which isn't common anymore since the release of HTML5 based video.
    Simply drag the widget out onto your canvas, and link up your videos / set options like loop, controls visible, etc. It's quite a flexible widget, and there's a complete training video included so you don't get stuck
    Check out the widget here
    Just wanted to provide another alternative that could be helpful. Cheers!

  • Inserting image into a slide

    I'm trying to edit a keynote presentation that was handed to me and I'm totally new to the program. I want to insert some new images into a slide. When I open the slide and click on the first image, all of the appear in a line at the bottom. OK, seems intuitive so far. But when I drag a new image to the line where I want to insert it, all it does is replace an old image. I want to INSERT the image and replace nothing. I've tried the help files and found nothing. Please help I have to give this presentation tomorrow.
    Thanks.

    The person who created the file has about 100 storyboard images associated with a particular slide. He forgot to include some boards that I am trying to insert.
    To recap, when I go to the slide containing the storyboards, I can click on the image in the navigator window and all of the boards appear in a row under the window. I have scrolled though and tried to drag the new boards into the row, but instead of adding to the storyboards, all I am doing is replacing one with another. I need to figure out how to insert one.
    Sorry if this isn't more clear, but I don't know the terminology of keynote to describe it any better.

  • How to embed a You Tube video into Keynote slide?

    Hi there,
    I am wanting to go further than simply making a hyperlink.
    How can I embed a you tube video in the slide?
    I am going to save as powerpoint for presentation on PC so hoping it will still work as well.
    P.S This question has been asked previously but got no replies!!
    If anyone has an idea....your knowledge is much appreciated

    Any reason you don't download the video and just place it in your presentation?

  • Inserting Video Into My Training

    I have some video that was captured as an AVI file and they
    also put it into MPg4 format.
    Do I need to convert this into a SWF flash file before I can
    insert it into my training program? Do I need outside software to
    make this conversion or will "Presenter" do this for me? Is there
    somewhere that explains the process for doing this other than the
    Adobe Guide for "Presenter". I have not found this very clear.

    Presenter has the ability to take, ASF, WMV, MPG, MP4, DV,
    DVI, MOV, or 3G videos to FLV.
    Use the Insert Video tool in Presenter and see if the MPg4
    video will work, or if the team that created the AVI has the
    ability to turn it into an FLV, that my be the best option as FLVs
    work naively in Presenter.

  • N8: Inserting video into MMS (wrong size is calcul...

    Hello,
    as far as I know, most providers are supporting a maximum size of 300kb when sending a mms. If i try to insert a video into a new mms, the N8 will record about 1 Minute of video (mms-qualilty), which has a size of about 420kb! That is to big to use it which a mms.
    From my old N95 i know a setting, where you could define the 300kb size and the phone only recorded 300kb then in mms-quality. This setting is missing in the new N8 preferences!
    Also there is an issue with inserting pictures into mms. Ok, N8 is resizing it, but the old N95 told you when the maximum of 300kb is reached. The N8 don't show any notification at all and the size will grow into the wild.
    I'm already using the setting where you should be warned and the picture size is set to small by default! But this changes nothing!
    Any thoughts?
    Thank you

    Hey Helen! I'll do the best I can to provide information in
    the order you requested it.
    First, yes, that can be done. Just get any one of a variety
    of conversion utilities (Google something like "AVI to FLV") to
    convert your video to Flash video format.
    Second, I do not publish to EXE when I can avoid it, so will
    leave it to someone else to tell you whether the FLV can be
    accessed within the EXE output. I think not, but like I said, I
    don't like the lack of versatility of Captivate's "executable"
    output, and avoid using it personally.
    Third, inserting a FLV into a Captivate project should not
    substantially increase the file size of your EXE (if it can even be
    done in an EXE) or your SWF output. Basically the FLV acts as a
    "pointer" and is a pretty small file. On the other hand, if you
    choose to add your video as a SWF instead of a FLV, you can expect
    file-size to increase proportional to the SWF size.
    About your "separate note": You can find training at
    this Adobe
    link to certified training providers
    . Use this link to obtain the names and contact information for
    the Adobe certfied training providers nearest your geographical
    location.
    Training companies across the U.S. and around the world offer

  • Inserting video into templates

    I am extremely new to AE. I have CS6 and am trying to learn it on my own... but it's very complicated.
    I have a template I am working with that I want to insert video clips into. The template has jpegs that say "insert photo or video here". How do I swap the jpeg with the video clip without losing the keyframes and effects? I'm not well-versed enough to just re-do them all. I am using the templates to learn the program but to also build a few videos for the non-profit I work for.
    Another thought I had was if it was possible to copy all the attributes/effects/keyframes from one media piece to another. So if I were to add the video clip to the composition and copy the attributes from the template photo to the video clip I just added and then make the template photo invisible. But I haven't been able to figure that out. :/
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the world of After Effects! As you've noticed, it can be pretty complicated. I highly recommend that you start here. That is a set of resources specifically curated to help people new to AE get started off on the right foot.
    To your question, this page in the AE help has what you need. It says to select the layer you want to replace in the Timeline panel then Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) your new footage item from the Project panel onto the selected layer in the Timeline panel.

  • Inserting mov. into powerpoint

    I am trying to insert a movie from Kodak Easyshare (uses quicktime) that is a mov. file. Windows will not recognize it and I cannot insert it into MS powerpoint. Any help is appreciated

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    What happens when you try to play the file through QT?
    Also, if I remember correctly, MS Office might not recognize .mov files. I may be mistaken, so someone else might have to confirm that before you go through steps to convert it...
