Adding video to your presentations

While pictures, images and attractive icons bring value to a PowerPoint presentation – the addition of embedded video clips will take your audience to another dimension.

However, though videos add a lot of exciting vitality to your presentation you must keep in mind that it is only a part of your PPT and not the main focus. For video integrated into a slide presentation, shorter video clips tend to work best because you will be using the video to support your presentation and not the other way around. Clips with a long duration can be quite distracting if they allow an audience to settle into a video watching mode. An effective video clip should be 10 to 20 seconds or less. That's a good deal of time for a speaker to make a point without going on and on.

You must ensure bad audio quality does not ruin a good video clip. Audiences today will expect your video and sound to be without fault, and if one or the other is not up to standard, the audience will notice this immediately and you will pay the penalty for having given a poor quality presentation. It could be a sales deal or something bigger your company is pitching for at that time!

Inserting video clips into PowerPoint is not a difficult task - and PowerPoint allows more than enough control over how you want the video to play while in slide show mode.

AVI or audio video interleave, has been around for a long time and PowerPoint is usually compliant with this format unless it has been generated using a non-standard code. PowerPoint can play and control these files natively.
But let us not get too technical – for that is not the aim of this article!

PowerPoint - in fact Windows itself does not treat Flash as a native video format. However, Flash movies can be successfully played within PowerPoint using the Shockwave Flash ActiveX control. Keep in mind though, that a fair amount of mix with audio and highlighted text will bode well with your audience. Avoid extremes – either too much video or too much content.

When you send your presentation to us we ensure the mood or theme of your deck will suit the video clips. This is much more than a matter of merely choosing the right font or the right color – we strive to return a polished and professional deck back to you – one you can proudly present again and again!
