Video insert or link
Am quite happy with my OLD PPT EXCEPT for video which is inserted/or embedded into program. That limits video file size and I have to dumb down video quality in order to play. THAT severely reduces impact of presentations - which are otherwise very simple slides.
So goal is to be able to play a large video file at high quality 720 minimum. So - is this possible - I think using the link system it is. My videos run 10-15 mins within the pres and (repeat!!) need hi def to be effective. Any other tips re format (wmv or ???) welcome. I've a big presentation coming up and a long video to patch in. thanks!!! |

I'm not sure what the question is?
If you are asking can I link video in 2010 then you can. When you insert use this drop menu to choose LINK TO FILE. |

(thanks John)
Sorr if I was obtuse. My PPT version way older, there is ONLY insert, no option to LINK. Thus am curious about benefits of link. My understanding - inserting creates problems with replay of video during showing of PPT because PPT can't handle file size. - linking eliminates playback issues since video file retained outside PPT program...and file/definition can be be of better quality/size. _ yes I do realise that means keeping video file in same folder as PPT show so it can be found by PPT - I do that anyway. Oh, and those larger video files play fine on their own on laptop. Just won't if inserted into PPT. |

OOPS JUST NOTICED I'd entered my Windows as 2010 - I should amend that READ 2007.
Humblest apologies |

In 2007 the ONLY option is to link video. In 2010 the default is NOT to link but you can choose link as I mentioned

THANK YOU EVER SO
Get that......amd can't do unless I get 2013 PPT which I want to....BEFORE buying just want to be SURE that linking will solve problem of PPT program overload and video hiccups. I guess I should have said that right at the start! If THAT is OK...then I get the 2013 PPT PDQ!!!!!!!!!!! Again thanks, I should write clearer queries. sorry. |
