And instead of inserting the video file, click Insert > Video from File, but use the drop-down arrow on the Insert button and select “Link to File.” If you’re using Powerpoint you should load both the files with the slides (.ppt file) and video files into one folder. A simple trick is to have your Powerpoint or Keynote file loaded on a memory stick. When you present at a large venue you’ll need to help your A/V crew present your slides without a glitch. Once I click past the black slide the video starts automatically. I do this because I know I will want to set up a dramatic segue to showing the video, and I don’t want to accidentally start the video before I’m ready.

These are the only slides that are completely black in my deck, so I know a video is coming next. I have a habit of inserting a slide with black background before every video.

mp4 videos (with H.264 video and AAC audio encoding) You don’t get the start/stop and Poster Frame options of a MAC, but as long as your video is one of the following, you should be good to go: I prefer to play the video automatically with a black slide before (see “Tricks with movies”, below.)

To make the video start automatically, un-click “Start movie on click”.

To change the image that shows before the movie starts, slide the “Poster Frame”.

To trim the start and end points, slide the “Trim” tab.

Click on the movie and you’ll see the “Movie” tab in the right panel.

Once inserted, Keynote offers some slick control features:.

I will sometimes make the slide background black to make the small size of the video less obvious. Remember when your video is projected across a conference room onto a screen you are better to have the image small with high-clarity, rather than try to fill the screen. Resize and then run the video to test the resolution.

Click and drag the corners to resize your videos.

To do this, in Preferences (click on Keynote in top-left corner) click the checkbox for “Optimize movies for iOS.”

Not only is relying on hotel WIFI a bad plan, so is downloading clips off YouTube. Relying on WIFI is amateurville and bound to fail-at the worse time. My instructions are based on working from a video file you have safely downloaded to your computer and have permission to use.

In the end the WIFI failed and the part of the video we were able to see was, frankly, not worth the wait. I recently watched a fellow speaker employing the help of 3 A/V crew (who, I’m sure, had better things to do) frantically trying to get a WIFI connection. The trick is for video to make your speech better-not be a distraction. Lots has changed and showing a video clip in a speech has become de rigueur. Yup! that my children was hi-tech (I remember spending a good 30 minutes before every speech stuffing folded business cards under projectors trying to get both images to line up on the screen.)
