How to Add a MP4 Video into PowerPoint 2007

Posted on 02:06 by Unknown
As we know Office PowerPoint provides us a "Insert" function to add picture, music and video into PowerPoint slide. Many people like to add short videos to make the PPT more attractive. But the video format supported by PowerPoint is limited. The best formats that all PowerPoint versions can support are AVI and WMV, which are created by Microsoft itself.

But if you want to add a MP4 video to PowerPoint, which is the representative of High definition videos, you have to check your PowerPoint version first.

For PowerPoint 2003 or below, there is no way to add a MP4 video.

For PowerPoint 2010, you can directly click "Insert" to add MP4 video to PowerPoint slide.

However, the PowerPoint 2007 is special that I need to explain it in detail.
Though you cannot click "Insert" to add a MP4 video directly, there is another way.

Step 1: Enable control.

Because the default state in PowerPoint 2007, the control function is hidden, we need to enable it firstly as follows:

1. Left click" office button" in PowerPoint 2007

2. Hit" PowerPoint options" to open it

3. In the open box, select" Popular" tab, check the option that "Show developer tab in the ribbon", at last click" OK".

2. Select" More controls" button in " control" area, there will pop up a dialogue box

4. Drag the mouse, the player interface of Windows Media Player will appear in the PPT.

5. Select the player interface, right click, select" properties", a dialogue box will pop up.

6. Input the path and name of video file in" URL" option.
