Uploading movies from the Web and Embedding into Power point
and adding Audio
Mary Clarke-Miller
Integrating technology into lessons using power point.
Audio – play across slides
• You need to download free tool MP3 AddIn
• http://www.topbytelabs.com/freestuff/index.php?id=66
This will allow you to embed an MP3 file into your powerpoint – without the need to make sure you bring your music from home in a separate folder ..
Once plugin is added follow the next steps.
AudioBefore loading audio got to File Menu and click on Tools – options- General tab. Change file size of link sounds – up to the size of the file you are embedding .. From 20 kb to 7000 -10000 kb
Audio
• Once plugin is installed – go to Insert Movies and Sounds MP3 from file.
• Browse and select music• Your music is now
embedded not linked in your power point.
• Right click on speaker – go to custom animation option.
• Right click on audio file – you now have access to options to play music across slides ..
Alternative audio .wav
• Audacity is a free audio program that allows you to record and adjust sound. You can also import MP3 files and edit the length and export as a .wav file which can then be embedded directly into your power point. This can help keep down the size of your final presentation .. It is a little more work – but is a valid option and easy to use.

ZAMZAR.com
Zamzar.com is a great way to upload videos from Youtube or other school blocked websites. It is a free service unless you want to manage a lot of files ..
Tabs are your friend
Open up your browser Got to You tube – find the video you want to upload and click on play .. While playing highlight the full address bar and hit ctrl +C to copy. Open up second tab or window and go to Zamzar.com – paste URL into Step 1 box after clicking on URL link .. Step 2 choose mov Step 3 email Step 4 convert
Purchase Quicktime pro = $30
• While Zamzar says it can convert web videos to avi or wmv – I have had trouble with these formats not playing.
• I upload any movie as a .mov file and then export through QT to create an .avi or .wmv so that the movie WILL play in Power point.
• QT allows you to perform simple edits and is worth the cost.
