Inserting video clips & pictures from internet to powerpoint

What would be the best format to use when inserting video clips and photos to ensure an easy to use clear picture or clip?

RE: Inserting video clips & pictures from internet to powerpoint

Hi Alan

The best files types to use for videos in a powerpoint slide are .avi and .mpeg

Saying this Powerpoint accepts many movie formats. So if the movie plays with no problem in your Windows Media player it will play in the slide.

Also make sure you get a video with good resolution.

If the video clip only takes up a small section of the slide stretching it to fit the whole slide will distort the clip.

Hope this helps.

PowerPoint tip:

Embedding fonts in a presentation

If you create a PowerPoint presentation which is likely to be viewed on other computers, there can be problems with displaying the font/s you have used in your presentation when it is opened on other machines.

You can embed the fonts you use in your presentation in order to try and get around this issue.

When you go to save your presentation (File - Save as), go to the Tools button at the top of the Save As dialogue box and select Save Options. Under 'Font options for current document only', tick the Embed TrueType fonts option, then select the secondary option underneath that applies best to your situation.

Click OK, then Save.
