Uploading movies from the Web and Embedding into Power pointand adding Audio Mary Clarke-Miller Integrating technology into lessons using power point.
Audio – play across slides • You need to download free tool MP3 AddIn • http://www.topbytelabs.com/freestuff/index.php?id=66 This will allow you to embed an MP3 file into your powerpoint – without the need to make sure you bring your music from home in a separate folder .. Once plugin is added follow the next steps.
Audio Before loading audio got to File Menu and click on Tools – options- General tab. Change file size of link sounds – up to the size of the file you are embedding .. From 20 kb to 7000 -10000 kb
Audio • Once plugin is installed – go to Insert Movies and Sounds MP3 from file. • Browse and select music • Your music is now embedded not linked in your power point. • Right click on speaker – go to custom animation option. • Right click on audio file – you now have access to options to play music across slides ..
Alternative audio .wav • Audacity is a free audio program that allows you to record and adjust sound. You can also import MP3 files and edit the length and export as a .wav file which can then be embedded directly into your power point. This can help keep down the size of your final presentation .. It is a little more work – but is a valid option and easy to use. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
ZAMZAR.com Zamzar.com is a great way to upload videos from Youtube or other school blocked websites. It is a free service unless you want to manage a lot of files ..
Tabs are your friend Open up your browser Got to You tube – find the video you want to upload and click on play .. While playing highlight the full address bar and hit ctrl +C to copy. Open up second tab or window and go to Zamzar.com – paste URL into Step 1 box after clicking on URL link .. Step 2 choose mov Step 3 email Step 4 convert
Purchase Quicktime pro = $30 • While Zamzar says it can convert web videos to avi or wmv – I have had trouble with these formats not playing. • I upload any movie as a .mov file and then export through QT to create an .avi or .wmv so that the movie WILL play in Power point. • QT allows you to perform simple edits and is worth the cost.
Embedding video into Power Point Special thanks to Diana Kenney for all her help
Summary – recap on video Instead of insert movie – Insert object Select Windows Movie player. Once Player is added to slide right click to access properties. Click on Custom option to browse for video file ( that is an avi or a wmv)
