Adding Video Clips to a Slide

Digitized video files can also be used on PowerPoint slides to play a video during the slide show. For instance, you may have a product demonstration video that may be interesting to your slide show audience. Instead of playing the video on a separate display, just insert the video onto the slide.

2. Click on Insert. The Insert menu will appear.

   

3. Point to Movies and Sounds. A second menu will appear.

4. Click on Movie from File. The Insert Movie dialog box will open.

5. Navigate to the folder that contains the movie file. The folder's name will appear in the Look in list box.

6. Click on the movie file. The file will be selected.

   

7. Click on OK. A confirmation dialog box will open.

8. 1. Click on Automatically if you want the movie to play when the slide appears.

   OR

   2. Click on When Clicked if you want the movie to start when you click on the movie icon.

   

   

9. Click and drag the resize handles. The movie clip window will be resized.

Note 

You can fine-tune the way the movie plays by right-clicking it and choosing Edit Movie Object.
