As an expert of sharing PowerPoint on most popular media, I have been asked by lots of people about how to embed a YouTube video into a PowerPoint slide or how to share a PowerPoint presentation on YouTube. I want to take this chance to write an article to help people who want PowerPoint presentation and YouTube to get married. I will introduce a way of embedding a YouTube video into PowerPoint presentation in the first part. And you will learn how to upload a converted PowerPoint presentation on YouTube in the second part.
YouTube video is encoded in FLV format, while PowerPoint just accepts Mpeg, AVI, MOV and WMV videos. So we have to convert the FLV format to PowerPoint compatible video formats. There are two ways for you to get it done.
The first way is using Online FLV Converter. You can directly paste the YouTube video URL in the blank, and choose the format you like and then click start, after the conversion, download the converted video to your computer and then you can insert the video in your PowerPoint presentation.
This tool is totally free but it runs very slowly and sometimes it can not finish the conversion because of some errors and the low bandwidth network. Hope you are lucky!
The second way is using some professional tool like YouTube downloader. This tool can help you download the YouTube video and convert it to some other formats. When you open a YouTube video page, this program can download the video automatically. Or you can open YouTube Downloader, then main interface shows as following illustration, click the “+” button to paste your YouTube URL in the blank, and then click OK.
After the video download you can see your video in the left “categories”. Click “play” to view the downloaded video. Now another thing we can do is converting our FLV video to the PowerPoint compatible video. Click “Convert” and choose a proper format llike . AVI or WMV.
Save the converted file to you computer, now you can embed YouTube video to PowerPoint presentation!
Another way to show your YouTube video with your PowerPoint presentation is giving a link in your presentation but it has a limitation of your network connection.
You may have gorgeous photo albums or business presentations created by PowerPoint that want to share online.Now you need to convert PowerPoint presentation to video clips for YouTube or MySpace. Well, there are two ways for you to make a reference.
Using Windows Movie Maker (WMM).
It’s free and it comes with Windows XP and Vista. Save your presentation slides as JEPG images and then you can import the images to WMM. You can also insert some transitions and sounds to make your movie more dynamic. But the disadvantage is the animations and sound synchronizations originally exist in your presentation will be discarded completely. If your presentation does not contain animations and transitions and sound, WMM is enough for you. But if not, here’s the second way for you.
It is more convenient and easy to create compelling video presentations with PowerPoint to YouTube with this little creature. Here is the guide.
Step 1: Download PPT2Video Pro and install it.
Step 2: Click "Import file" button to load PowerPoint files
Step4: Click "Start" button to start converting.
Step5: Upload your video Presentation to YouTube
With these tips I hope you can go freely between the PowerPoint and YouTube. Any other suggestions are welcome.
