Using Video in Powerpoint for Mac 1 of 9 Using Video in PowerPoint for Mac Using video in a PowerPoint can greatly enhance a lecture. Before deciding to include video clips be sure to consider the following: 1. What is the end purpose of your PowerPoint? 2. Which version of PowerPoint are you using? 3. What is the file type of your video? If your only purpose is to present your PowerPoint in class, then you do not need to consider the version of PowerPoint you use. However, if you use PowerPoint 2010 or later, then you need to be aware of compatibility issues with PowerPoint 2003 or earlier when sharing your slides. When using video and multimedia, embedded media clips are converted to uneditable pictures in PowerPoint 2003 and earlier. Effects on linked media clips are lost but the media clip can be played. Also, be aware of the file types of your video(s). Some may not be compatible with various versions of PowerPoint. If you find that you have a video file type that is unplayable, it may be possible to use a free online converter. Compatible file types for PowerPoint 2011 for Mac are: File type File name extension QuickTime Movie Sound .mov, .moov, .qt MPEG-4 Video .mpg, .mpeg, .mpe, .m1v, .mpv, .mp4 Digital Video .dv Autodesk Animation .flc Animated GIF .gif Synchronized Multimedia .smil Integration Language Audio Video Interleave .avi Windows Media Video .wmv Note To play Windows Media Audio and Video you need Windows Media Components for QuickTime by Flip4Mac, which is a third-party software application. 2 of 9 Embedding versus Linking to File There are pros and cons to both embedding and linking to a file. When you embed a file in the PowerPoint, the entire presentation is self-contained. However, video files are quite large and only make the PowerPoint file even bigger. This can affect how you can share the PowerPoint and can cause issues with playing the video if the file gets too big. When you link to a video file, the video lives outside of the PowerPoint. The video still plays in PowerPoint, but the video file is separate from the PowerPoint file. If you share the PowerPoint file with anyone, you have to send the PowerPoint and any files you link to. If you forget to include the video file(s), the recipient(s) will be unable to play the video. Embedding a File PowerPoint 2011 for Mac embeds video files by default. The simplest way to do so is to drag and drop the file from its location on your computer to the slide where you want it to play. There are three other ways to embed video: 1. Go to the Main Menu bar, click on Insert, then select Movie, and click on Movie from File. 2. From the Home tab of the Ribbon click on the Media icon then select Movie from File. 3. Click on the Insert Movie from File icon inside the content box of the slide. 3 of 9 A new window will appear after you have navigated through one of the methods. Find the file you wish to embed, highlight it, then click Insert. After clicking insert, your video file will be embedded into your slide. 4 of 9 5 of 9 Linking to a File Linking to a video file is very similar to embedding. Follow one of these methods: 1. Go to the Main Menu bar, click on Insert, then select Movie, and click on Movie from File. 2. From the Home tab of the Ribbon click on the Media icon then select Movie from File. 3. Click on the Insert Movie from File icon inside the content box of the slide. Find the file you wish to embed, highlight it, but before clicking insert, check the box “Link to file.” Then click insert and your video will appear in the slide. 6 of 9 YouTube and other Online Video Websites One downside of using PowerPoint for Mac is that you can not embed YouTube videos into the your presentation. If you wish to show a video from YouTube or other similar website, it must be done using the hyperlink for the video. 1. Navigate to the webpage of the video you want to incorporate. 2. Beneath the video, click on Share; a box with a hyperlink will appear. 3. In the box next to “Start at” enter the the point in the video you want it to start when you play it. 4. Copy the hyperlink. 7 of 9 Next, in your PowerPoint, paste the hyperlink. A text box with the hyperlink will be created. 1. Highlight the hyperlink. 2. Click Insert on the Main Menu. 3. Select Hyperlink The Insert Hyperlink window will appear. 8 of 9 1. Paste the hyperlink into the space for “Link to.” 2. Type the text you want to display on your slide into the space for “Display.” 3. Click OK. The hyperlink in your slide will now display in the default blue and underlined as the text you chose to display. When you are presenting your PowerPoint and you come to the 9 of 9 YouTube link, you will click the link, a web browser window will appear with the webpage of the video, and the video will begin to play. .

  • Codec Is a Portmanteau of Either
    What is a Codec? Codec is a portmanteau of either "Compressor-Decompressor" or "Coder-Decoder," which describes a device or program capable of performing transformations on a data stream or signal. Codecs encode a stream or signal for transmission, storage or encryption and decode it for viewing or editing. Codecs are often used in videoconferencing and streaming media solutions. A video codec converts analog video signals from a video camera into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for display. An audio codec converts analog audio signals from a microphone into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for playing. The raw encoded form of audio and video data is often called essence, to distinguish it from the metadata information that together make up the information content of the stream and any "wrapper" data that is then added to aid access to or improve the robustness of the stream. Most codecs are lossy, in order to get a reasonably small file size. There are lossless codecs as well, but for most purposes the almost imperceptible increase in quality is not worth the considerable increase in data size. The main exception is if the data will undergo more processing in the future, in which case the repeated lossy encoding would damage the eventual quality too much. Many multimedia data streams need to contain both audio and video data, and often some form of metadata that permits synchronization of the audio and video. Each of these three streams may be handled by different programs, processes, or hardware; but for the multimedia data stream to be useful in stored or transmitted form, they must be encapsulated together in a container format.

  • A Comparison of Video Formats for Online Teaching Ross A
    Contemporary Issues in Education Research – First Quarter 2017 Volume 10, Number 1 A Comparison Of Video Formats For Online Teaching Ross A. Malaga, Montclair State University, USA Nicole B. Koppel, Montclair State University, USA ABSTRACT The use of video to deliver content to students online has become increasingly popular. However, educators are often plagued with the question of which format to use to deliver asynchronous video material. Whether it is a College or University committing to a common video format or an individual instructor selecting the method that works best for his or her course, this research presents a comparison of various video formats that can be applied to online education and provides guidance in which one to select. Keywords: Online Teaching; Video Formats; Technology Acceptance Model INTRODUCTION istance learning is one of the most talked-about topics in higher education today. Online and hybrid (or blended) learning removes location and time-bound constraints of the traditional college classroom to a learning environment that can occur anytime or anywhere in a global environment. DAccording to research by the Online Learning Consortium, over 5 million students took an online course in the Fall 2014 semester. This represents an increase in online enrollment of over 3.9% in just one year. In 2014, 28% of higher education students took one or more courses online (Allen, I. E. and Seaman, J, 2016). With this incredible growth, albeit slower than the growth in previous years, institutions of higher education are continuing to increase their online course and program offerings. As such, institutions need to find easy to develop, easy to use, reliable, and reasonably priced technologies to deliver online content.

  • Which Image Format
    CASE STUDY Which Image Format PNG PNG (Portable Network Graphics), an extensible file format for the lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of raster images. PNG provides a patent-free replacement for GIF and can also replace many common uses of TIFF. Indexed-color, gray scale, and true color images are supported, plus an optional alpha channel. Sample depths range from 1 to 16 bits. However, the format is not widely supported in common image programs. AVI AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave and is currently the most common file format for storing audio/video data on the PC. AVI’s are 8-bit per image plane. This file format conforms to the Microsoft Windows Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) specification, which makes it convenient for sharing the image sequence between computers. AVI files (which typically end in the .avi extension) require a specific player that supports. RAW A RAW image format contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. RAW literally means unprocessed or uncooked. RAW images must be processed and converted to RGB format if it is a color image. Photron however, does not limit RAW as a unprocessed image. The “Bayer” check box must be selected to save the RAW image as an unprocessed image. RAW images have 8-bits per image plane. RAWW A RAWW image format contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. RAWW images must be processed and converted to RGB format if it is a color image. Photron however, does not limit RAWW as a unprocessed image. The “Bayer” check box must be selected to save the RAWW image as an unprocessed image.

  • Guidelines for Filing Audio and Video Files with the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
    Guidelines for Filing Audio and Video Files With The United States Court of Appeals For The Sixth Circuit In the Sixth Circuit, electronic filing via the court’s CM/ECF system is mandatory for attorneys. However, audio and video files cannot be filed using the court’s CM/ECF system. Rather, counsel must submit physical copies of any audio or video files to the court in an acceptable format as indicated below. Audio Files The Sixth Circuit will accept audio files that are in a Wave file (.wav) or MPEG Layer-3 file (.mp3) format. Video Files The Sixth Circuit will accept video files that are in an Audio Video Interleave file (.avi) or Windows Media Video file (.wmv) format. Videos which require proprietary software or 3rd party codecs to play that cannot be reviewed by the court will be returned. The files must be playable with Windows Media Player or the VLC player, and they should be tested prior to delivery. Use of the designated file formats is necessary to ensure that the submissions can be reviewed by the court. The court will not convert files to an acceptable format. Four (4) copies of the audio/video files should be sent to the Office of the Clerk on CD, DVD or flash drive. The cover letter transmitting audio or video files to the court should include the name of the case, the Sixth Circuit case number, and the party on whose behalf the files are transmitted. The letter should also contain sufficient reference to the docket entry below where the item was filed, for example, Exhibit 3 in support of Defendant’s Motion, RE 45.

  • Motion JPEG 2000 and Metadata Specific Provisions for Metadata Consideration Using COM Segments SMPTE Timecodes and COM II.3
    Methods to Store Metadata within Motion JPEG 2000 Files Glenn Pearson Communications Engineering Branch US National Library of Medicine NIH/HHS Summary The specifications of Motion JPEG 2000 (MJ2) and related documents in the JPEG 2000 family are analyzed, to identify and assess the multiple mechanisms available for storing metadata within a MJ2 file and the types of metadata that can be so accommodated. Adequate mechanisms seem to exist for associating metadata with the production as a whole, individual tracks, and individual frames. In those cases, attention is turned to alternative forms such metadata might take, both those suggested within the JPEG 2000 family specifications and those defined externally. Conversely, existing mechanisms seem inadequate, or at the least underspecified, for embedding and synchronizing scene-based metadata. Various workarounds and possible extensions are discussed, as well as alternative wrapper formats and methods of metadata synchronization from without. Of the externally-defined metadata systems considered, those of MPEG4 (whose file format is a cousin of MJ2) and MXF (which is paired with JPEG 2000 for Digital Cinema) get the most attention herein, but many others, well known to the archival community, are touched upon. This document strives to identify various approaches and, ideally, their pluses and minuses, to provide a basis from which recommended practices or refinement of standards could be developed for video archiving. Contents Section 1. Overview Section II. Provision for “Easy Metadata” – Per Movie, Per Track, Per Frame II.1 Introduction via Still Images and their Metadata The Basic JP2 File Format More About UUID JP2’s Use of UUID and Interpretation as KLV JPX Extensions II.2.

The digital preservation master file should reproduce the most accurate version of the original analog video possible. Archives and institutions adhere to a variety of file formatting combinations based upon their archiving needs and standards prescribed by several trusted authorities. MIPoPS has chosen their format based upon thorough research of these standards and recommendations made by experts in the field, including Sarah Shipley (Digital Assets Manager, Seattle Municipal Archives) and Dave Rice (Archivist/Digital Systems Manager, The City University of New York Television)1. Here is a breakdown of the preservation file format employed by MIPoPS: .mkv (wrapper)—this is a container for the video and audio information. It is not related to the quality of information it contains.
