Using video clips to show concrete examples in PowerPoint presentations such as business meeting, courseware and some family celebrations is a great idea. It promotes active cognitive processing, which is the natural way people learn. So I want to descript a simple question asked in yahoo answers frequently, that is, how to insert video into PowerPoint in MS PowerPoint 2007and how to reliably deliver the PowerPoint presentation contains video clips. This is a frequent problem that the video can’t play on other’s computer you sent to while it can play well in your own computer.
Part 1: How to insert video into PowerPoint?
When inserting video clips into PowerPoint 2007, you have 2 choices. You can insert video clips from your own file or from clip organizer into PowerPoint. PowerPoint automatically has motion clips in the Clip Gallery. Motion clips are like clip art except the images that include animation. This animation can be seen when you run the slide show.
Insert video into PowerPoint presentation from my own file
At first you must download the video you appreciated from the website, and remember, put the video clip and your PowerPoint presentation in the same folder. The most suitable formats to insert into PowerPoint are WMV. AVI, MPG. ASF is also fine but it depends on your codec,
a codec is a device or program capable of encoding and/or decoding a digital data stream or signal. OK, now, let’s start.
1.View the appropriate slide in normal view which you want to insert the video clip in.
2.From the insert tab, click the pull-down list, click movie from file, then insert movie dialog appeared, choose the right video file.
3.Then the alert box appears asking how you want the movie to start. To play the movie automatically, click automatically. To start your movie by clicking the mouse, click When Clicked.
Insert video clip into PowerPoint presentation from clip organizer
In the clip organizer, there are many simple and vivid video clips we can enjoy.
1.From the insert tab, click the movie icon and choose movie from clip organizer, The Clip Art task pane appears with all choices displayed.
2.Search for clips by keyword in the search text box, click the right video then the video appeared in your slide.
Part 2: How to delivering PowerPoint with video embed well?
Someone may be confused by this question, the video and audio can be played smoothly on their own computers but when sent to others, the video and audio cannot be work.
Previously, I have mentioned that you should put the video clips and your PowerPoint presentation in the same folder, when send your presentation to others, zip the folder to a package, and then sent the packed file rather than the sole presentation. In fact, video clips are not embedded in PowerPoint, but linked to PowerPoint. If PowerPoint cannot find the video clips in slides, of course, it cannot be played.
OK, you did everything as I said in order to share your presentation with your friends, but, unfortunately, some of your friends don’t have PowerPoint installed. Can they view your presentation?
Convert your PowerPoint to video. Yes, it is possible. And this is the most popular method that helps you deliver your presentation widely. After converting your PowerPoint presentation to video you can podcast your presentation on YouTube, your website, blog, and even view it on TV.
There are many converters that can convert the PowerPoint to video format. If you input “PowerPoint to video” in Google search toolbar, you will find hundreds of thousands of results.
The tool, Wondershare PPT to Video, can convert PowerPoint presentations to almost all popular video formats such as MPEG, AVI, MP4, WMV, MOV, 3GP with high quality. Besides, you can burn the converted video to DVD with a third-party burning program such as Nero. Of course, this is only one instance out of many, you can have more attempts.
Last but not the least is, when inserting video into PowerPoint, you should choose the suitable videos and in order to make your Point, or something worth seeing, you should remove something in the video which are confusing, boring and unnecessary or something will distract your audience. May it is another tip we should pay more attention to.

So you are finally on MySpace, you have a cool page with all of your favorite things on it, a great MySpace layout, and your best pictures for the world to see. All that is missing is your favorite music video. The good news is that adding music videos to MySpace is not difficult, and if you can find a good source for free videos, you will not have to pay a dime to do so. Here are the steps to take to add music videos to your MySpace page.
Edit the Page
Start on the MySpace editing page. You can access this by clicking on the “Home” link at the top of your MySpace page. You will want to locate the main editing box. This is the one that has your profile picture on it. Select this box. You will be shown a list of options. You want to choose the one entitled “Add/Change Videos.”
Uploading MySpace Videos
Now you are on the video management page. This has four tabs labeled “Featured,” “Videos,” “My Videos,” and “Upload.” If you want to choose a video that MySpace has in its video library, choose the “Videos” tab. This will allow you to browse the many videos that MySpace has available. You can play them, and then once you find the music video you want on your profile, click “Add to my Profile,” and it will automatically be added. You will see confirmation stating, “Video added successfully” when the upload is complete.
Uploading Your Own Videos
If you have a music video on your hard drive that you would like to upload and have permission to use, click the “Upload” tab. You will see a page asking you to add some descriptions about your music video. You will want to put a title on it so people will know who is performing and what song they are singing. You will also want to put tags on the video that will help other MySpace users find it when they are searching for that artist or that song.
Once you have entered the information, hit “Continue” and you will be directed to the upload page. Click “Browse” to be able to search your hard drive and find the video you want. Once you have selected it, hit “Upload” for it to be uploaded to your profile page.
Remember, MySpace has strict terms and conditions. If the music video is protected by copyrights, you cannot upload it, and if you do, your MySpace page could be deleted. You also cannot upload any videos that contain pornography. Make sure you have a right to use the video and that it is appropriate for a public forum before you upload it.
Why Add Videos to Your Page
There are many reasons to add music videos to your page. For one, it gives your page visitors something interesting to do when they are on your page. This will help them to stay on your page longer and spend more time getting to know you.
Another reason that you should consider adding music videos to your site is the fact that they can tell a little (or a lot) about you. You can show your tastes, beliefs, and personality through the music videos that you select. There are any funny, provocative, and simply entertaining music videos available as free downloads for you to decorate your MySpace page with.
Acceptable File Formats
According to MySpace, the acceptable video file formats that you can use to upload to your site are .AVI, .ASF, .WMV, .MOV, .QT, .3G2, .3GP, .3GP2, .3GPP, .GSM, .MPG, .MPEG, .MP4, .M4V, .MP4V, .CMP, .DIVX, .XVID, .264, .RM, .RMVD, .FLV, .MKV, and .OGM. However, you may find that certain video formats do not play as well as you might like. Sometimes when compressing the file into the small size used on MySpace, quality is lost. If this happens, try converting the file to a different format and see if it works better.
