When you present at a large venue you’ll need to help your A/V crew present your slides without a glitch. Once I click past the black slide the video starts automatically. I do this because I know I will want to set up a dramatic segue to showing the video, and I don’t want to accidentally start the video before I’m ready. These are the only slides that are completely black in my deck, so I know a video is coming next. I have a habit of inserting a slide with black background before every video.

mp4 videos (with H.264 video and AAC audio encoding) You don’t get the start/stop and Poster Frame options of a MAC, but as long as your video is one of the following, you should be good to go: I prefer to play the video automatically with a black slide before (see “Tricks with movies”, below.) PowerPoint will ask if you want the video to play “When Clicked” or “Automatically”.

The drill on your PC for adding videos is now about as slick as a MAC: open a new slide, click on the movie icon (or click Insert > Movie), choose your file and click Choose. Note you cannot edit out sections in the middle of the video – to do that you need to drop your video into Screenflow or iMovie (or hire a 10 year old.) Inserting videos into PowerPoint To make the video start automatically, un-click “Start movie on click”.To change the image that shows before the movie starts, slide the “Poster Frame”.To trim the start and end points, slide the “Trim” tab.Click on the movie and you’ll see the “Movie” tab in the right panel.Once inserted, Keynote offers some slick control features:.I will sometimes make the slide background black to make the small size of the video less obvious. Remember when your video is projected across a conference room onto a screen you are better to have the image small with high-clarity, rather than try to fill the screen.

Resize and then run the video to test the resolution. Click and drag the corners to resize your videos.To do this, in Preferences (click on Keynote in top-left corner) click the checkbox for “Optimize movies for iOS.” You can set up Keynote to automatically convert movies in your presentation to H.264 (720 p) so they play on iOS devices.

There’s plenty of advice (ironically on YouTube) on how to download videos from YouTube. Obviously if it’s your video, fill your boots. Within Section 5.1 it states: “…you agree not to access Content through any technology or means other than the video playback pages of the Website itself, the YouTube Player, or other means as YouTube may explicitly designate for this purpose.” If you find a YouTube clip you want to use be aware that downloading it will breach Google’s terms of service. Not only is relying on hotel WIFI a bad plan, so is downloading clips off YouTube. Relying on WIFI is amateurville and bound to fail-at the worse time. My instructions are based on working from a video file you have safely downloaded to your computer and have permission to use. In the end the WIFI failed and the part of the video we were able to see was, frankly, not worth the wait. I recently watched a fellow speaker employing the help of 3 A/V crew (who, I’m sure, had better things to do) frantically trying to get a WIFI connection. The trick is for video to make your speech better-not be a distraction. Lots has changed and showing a video clip in a speech has become de rigueur.

Yup! that my children was hi-tech (I remember spending a good 30 minutes before every speech stuffing folded business cards under projectors trying to get both images to line up on the screen.) It was a monster of black boxes and wires that fired both projectors (on a good day.) When I started speaking I used a dual Kodak carousel projector system handed down by my dear, late brother Dan. I’ll also show you how to avoid the embarrassment of your clip not running because of elusive hotel basement WIFI. In this post I’ll walk you through how to insert the clip and the nuances of creating a seamless transition from slide to video and back to slide. So you want to spruce up your presentation with a little video.
