PowerPoint only accepts movies that can be played by Windows Media Player

If the movie plays in Windows Media Player, you can insert it as a media clip in your presentation by doing the following:

On the Insert tab, in the Text group, click Object.

In the Object type list, click Create from file, and then enter the name of the movie file or click Browse.

Draw the YouTube Flash Movie ContainerYour mouse cursor will change to a + (plus

sign) on the slide. Drag your mouse to form a rectangle on the

slide. When you let go of the mouse, you will see a box with a large X through the rectangle. This is the container for your YouTube Flash movie. Use the selection handles to resize the box if necessary.

Save your presentation and minimize the PowerPoint 2007 window.

Navigate to the Folder Containing the YouTube Flash Movie File

The file name path is the complete folder structure, including the file name, of the YouTube Flash movie on your computer. Flash movies have file extensions of SWF.

Navigate to the folder you created in Step 2. DO NOT click on the YouTube Flash movie file

in the list of file names. That will cause the movie to open. We only need to know the file name and its location right now.



Flash Movie File Name PathIn the Address text box, click your mouse at the end

of the text. For example - C:\WR Documents\YouTube Flash Movies

Type a backslash ( \ )at the end of the current path followed by the actual file name of your YouTube Flash movie. In my example the final product will be C:\WR Documents\YouTube Flash Movies\my_youtube_flash_movie.swf

Copy all the text in this text box in preparation for the next step.

Close this window.



Return to the Shockwave Flash ObjectRestore the PowerPoint 2007 window to full

screen, if necessary. Right click on the large rectangle with the X

in the middle (the container for the YouTube Flash movie) and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.

When the Properties dialog box opens, click (Custom) at the top of the list.

Click on the ... button beside (Custom). This is called the Build button.



Insert the Flash Movie URLThe Property Pages dialog box opens,

showing properties for your YouTube Flash movie. Paste the path to your .SWF file into the Movie URL text box. This is the file name path you copied in Step 5.

Add a check mark beside Embed Movie. Choose any other properties that you would like for your YouTube Flash movie.

Click OK. Save your presentation.



View the YouTube Flash Movie in PowerPoint 2007Note - Your YouTube Flash movie may or may not show in the

container you created, at this time. The large X may still show until you have run the slide show for the first time.

To test this one slide only Click on the Slide Show tab of the ribbon Select From Current Slide Or press the keyboard shortcut key combination Shift + F5.

To run the complete slide show Click on the Slide Show tab of the ribbon Select From Beginning Or press the F5 key on the keyboard.
