Does anyone know how to put video clips in a powerpoint?

Question

I am making a powerpoint on anton van leeuwenhoek and I would like to add a clip in there. I've made a powerpoint before where I just have to click the play button when it gets to that page anf it will just start right away. Really easy. Does anyone know how to do this?

Answer 1

Insert the video into PowerPoint

Step 1: On the Insert tab, point to Movies and Sounds, and then click Movie from File.

Step 2: Click the video you want to use and then click OK.

Step 3: After you click OK, you' are promoted with a message asking how you want the movie to start in the slide show. I recommend you choosing "Automatically "even if you want the movie to play when clicked. And that's done.



Tips:

1. This is the easiest way to insert a video.

2. When playing the video that is inserted in this way in the PowerPoint, it only shows the video picture, and only has two control options: play or stop. So you can't select the playing time freely

3. Only video in formats of AVI, MPEG and WMV can be inserted in this way

4. Always put the movie in the same folder as your PowerPoint presentation.If you later move the PowerPoint presentation to another computer, copy the movie too. Keeping your movie in the same folder as your presentation ensures the link will still work. However, you should always test the movie on a new machine just to be certain. Re-insert the movie, if necessary.
