Add YouTube Video to PowerPoint 2010
- 1. Adding a YouTube Videoto PowerPoint 2010:Alternative Methods Prepared by Pat Samuel Aug. 9, 2011 At request of SCSU Faculty Member
- 2. Two Methods 1. Can use Insert > Video > Video from Web. Be sure to select “Use Old Embed Code” at YouTube – otherwise won’t work OR 2. Download video to your hard drive & use Insert > Video > from File This method gives you more options in displaying video Use www.zamzar.com to download the YouTube video in WMV format Samples and detailed instructions follow. Both examples use same Corvida Raven video from YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rrb3JgX5YQ4 Embedding videos in earlier versions of PowerPoint is more complex. A useful tutorial for PowerPoint 2007 at http://cliotech.blogspot.com/2007/05/tech-tip-really-embedding-video-into.html
- 3. Sample: Using Insert>Video>from Web& Selecting “Use Old Embed Code” at YouTube While only this black box shows when running PowerPoint in editing mode, will see a more pictorial version with ribbon for Play, Pause, etc. if run in Slideshow mode. Here I chose the 640 x 510 size (in YouTube dialog box), but one can choose the larger 960 x 750 size.
- 4. Sample: Embed Video after Downloading to Hard Drive This method results in more attractive view in Editing Mode. In both Editing & Slideshow mode, if hover mouse over the video, a ribbon appears below for playing, pausing, etc.
- 5. Details: Insert Video from Web In PowerPoint 2010, after you display the Insert ribbon and choose Video from Web site, a dialog box appears where you need to paste in the Embed Code. Go to YouTube and display the video you want to insert. Select Use Old Embed Code & choose size of video display. Copy embed code & paste into PowerPoint 2010
- 6. Download a YouTube Video to Hard Drive 1. Display your video at YouTube 2. Open a second window or tab in your browser and go to www.zamzar.com 3. Follow the directions, choosing WMV as the video format you want. 4. Wait for notice to appear in your email that video is ready – may take only 10 minutes; might take an hour or more.
- 7. Inserting Downloaded Video Click on Insert > Video > from File Navigate to the video file you want and click on it Video will appear on your slide. Note the Drawing Tools in center above ribbon. Can click to display a toolbar with options for resizing video, trimming, placing fancy frames, etc. A useful tutorial for using the Video Tools to trim or change color or add effects, etc. to your video can be found at http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/powerpoint-2010-tutorial-video-editing/ Another tutorial covering inserting video from hard drive, from web site and from ClipArt at http://www.presentationmagazine.com/how-to-embed-videos-in-your-powerpoint-presentation-5961.htm THE END
Editor's Notes
- This PowerPoint created on a Windows 7 machine using Microsoft Office 2010.
- Here I tried Insert > Video > From Web. But at the YouTube site, after clicking share and embed code, I clicked on a choice (near bottom) of “use old embed code”. Note results in black box. Note also you can choose a size for Video Display – I chose 640 x 510, but should have chosen the larger size of 960 x 750. In normal or editing view, If double click on black box, will get pictorial video with Play Arrows.If running as a slide show, you will see the video picture with a Play Arrow button, ribbon below to Pause, etc.See tutorial at http://www.presentationmagazine.com/how-to-embed-videos-in-your-powerpoint-presentation-5961.htm which verifies that one must use the “old embed’ code from YouTube.
- Here I used Insert Video from file and inserted the same Corvida Raven video that I had previously downloaded from YouTube i.e., “CorvidaRaven Geek Girl_YouTubeWmusic_viaZamZar.wmv”Note how much more attractive it looks than the black box one gets when using the Insert>Video>from Website method. Again, one must hover mouse over the video to get a ribbon at bottom where one can click Play Arrow.Note: if run this PowerPoint in Vista, will NOT get a ribbon at bottom where on can click Play, Pause, etc.
