- [Speaker] PowerPoint also supports video
and you can take a video file and insert it into a slide.
So let's create a blank slide.
So I'm going to select new slide blank,
and then under insert, you'll see over here on the right,
we have media.
So we can insert two types of video.
One is a screen recording.
So if you are doing a demo of software, something like that,
you can record the screen,
or you can just input a video file.
So we're going to select video.
Now we have a pull-down menu here,
so we can select online videos.
So things such as YouTube or any other online source,
stock videos or from this device.
And so we're going to select from this device,
and in exercise files assets,
I have a file called 3D printing.
Now, if you're unsure about the types of video files that
PowerPoint supports,
all you have to do is press the down arrow here,
and you could see all the different types of files.
Now, if your type of file doesn't show up,
you may have to convert it to a known format that
PowerPoint supports.
So we're going to select this and hit insert.
And there's our video file.
Now we can leave it as is, or if we want,
we can play with it a little more.
Now, when you select a video file,
it shows up pretty much like an image.
So I can grab the corners here,
and I can scale it up or down.
I can grab it towards the middle here
and basically position it, however I want.
Now, when I select a video file,
I get two types of video tools.
I get format and playback.
So under format,
we can basically change the look of the video on the slide.
So if I want, I can add borders, I can create video effects
If I want.
Now, I also can affect the video itself.
I can do corrections.
So if I want to make it say darker or lighter,
I can certainly do that.
I can change the color.
Let's say I want it to make it sepia.
I can certainly do that by hovering over this,
or I can make it black and white.
We can also change how the video plays.
So let's go to playback.
And over here, we can start off by trimming the video.
If your video isn't exactly the way you want it,
you can clip it off at the start by pulling in this green
icon here or the red icon for the end.
So if you want to make it a little bit shorter or longer,
you can do that here.
We can also fade the video in or fade it down,
and that might make for a smoother transition.
You can change the volume of the video, low, medium, high,
or mute if you don't want to hear it.
We can play full screen. We can hide it.
If not playing,
we can start it automatically or when clicked upon.
And then we can also loop or rewind after playing.
Now, the video itself is in the slide, just like an image.
So you want to make sure that your slide looks good.
So I'm going to select my slide and under design,
I'm going to select format background,
and let's go ahead and make that background dark.
So this will make it look a little bit sharper.
And now if we want to play this video,
all we have to do is go to our slideshow and play from
current slide.
When I do that, I've set it to automatic,
so it automatically plays that video.
Now, if I hit escape, I go back to my presentation.
So videos are pretty easy to bring into a PowerPoint
presentation.
They'll show up pretty much like images and you can format
the way that they look as well as how they play back.
