When you embed a downloaded file, you insert it right into your document much as you would a picture
or clip art file. Embedding makes use of the multimedia capabilities in software such as PowerPoint,
AppleWorks, and Keynote and allows teachers to create presentations that do not rely on separate
media players. Embedding is an effective way to add video content to existing presentations, create
interactive learning projects with menus and text prompts, or develop slide shows in which video files
play automatically.
Embedding a Video Segment
The procedure involved in embedding video files will vary
with certain software applications. The following steps
apply to documents created in
Microsoft PowerPoint :
What is embedding?
Embed a Video in PowerPoint
1. Download a video segment to a designated folder.
2. Save your new or revised PowerPoint document in the
same folder.
3. Go to “Insert” > “Movies and Sounds” > “Movie from
File.”
4. Click to select the video file that you wish to insert in
your document.
5. Select the automatic play option or choose to start the
video with a mouse click.
Note : With some software versions, you may have to
“Browse for File” and navigate to your saved file.
TIP: PC users will need to download Windows Media (.asf)
files and Macintosh users will need to download
QuickTime (.mov) files.
TIP: Keep the folder and file names brief. If the full path to
a media file exceeds 128 characters, the file will not
load and the viewer will see a blank white space
where the embedded video file was intended.
