However, like animation, video must be used with deliberate care or it will be intensely distracting. Using video in PowerPoint is a relatively easy way to add movement (and sound) to your presentation. This pretty silly demo applies an outline, 3d Depth and rotation along with a motion path and a Shrink effect: You can also apply format effects to the video as if it were an ordinary object. Here’s the annotated animation pane for this slide lines have been added to indicate the audio/video durations:Īs you can see from these examples, you can apply most of the animation effects to the video object so that they occur during the playback.

Playback fade-in and fade-out are applied. It is set to Play “Automatically” so it appears in the animation pane. An audio clip from provides a sound effect.

The video is Trimmed and Entry/Fade is applied as before.As you can see, a higher res video should be used for this application.

Here’s a video-based title slide for Acme’s customer service business: This seemed to me to be an opportunity for “title slides” featuring video. Like other organizations, Acme wants to make a powerful first impression and, in the case of section titles, provide a clear transition and set the stage for the upcoming section.

Over at Acme Services Inc., title slides (presentation and section intro slides) often get considerable attention and use large impactful images and professional graphic design. Make sure that your design actually adds to your message and engages the audience in a positive way. However, like many PowerPoint features, video must be used with care or it will become a distraction. A huge variety of video clips is available from the usual stock photo sources at reasonable prices (I have paid $15-$60). Here’s another idea: why not use a video as a component of your design, integrated with other objects, like you might use a photo? Recent versions of PowerPoint (I’m using 2013) provide some useful tools for this approach. That is, you played a video for your audience that happened to be embedded in a PowerPoint file. If you have, maybe you included a product demo or a clip from a speech by your CEO. Have you ever used a video in a serious PowerPoint presentation? Probably not.
