Is it possible to use videos from youtube in a powerpoint presentation?

Is it possible to use videos from youtube in a powerpoint presentation?
Is there a way to save it and use it in powerpoint? I have a great video but I can't access Youtube at my school.
Lots of friends ask me this question. I think I should post a little tutorial here.

How to do that?
1. If your flv video is on YouTube or MySpace, Just follow these steps:
1.1 Copy the YouTube or MySpace video URL (example: http://youtube.com/watch?v=j7jmsmmir4y... )
1.2 Go to http://vixy.net which is FREE online conversion service. Paste the URL in the conversion box
1.3 Select the output format such as "AVI,MOV,MP4" and click the button "start" . All conversion would be done automatically.
1.4 When the conversion is done, download the output video to the local disk on your computer.
1.5 Insert the video to your PowerPoint presentation.
PowerPoint -> Insert-> Movies and sounds->Movies from file

Three ways to embed Flv (YouTube/ MySpace) video into PowerPoint

Flv is one the popular file formats of video but PowerPoint can not recognize it. That means we can not insert flv video to PowerPoint directly. We have to convert the Flv video to Mpeg, Avi ,WMV etc. and then insert the converted video to PowerPoint.

How to do that?

1. If your flv video is on YouTube or MySpace, Just follow these steps:

1. Copy the YouTube or MySpace video URL (example: http://youtube.com/watch?v=J7JmsMMIR4Y
   



2. Go to http://vixy.net which is FREE online conversion service. Paste the URL in the conversion box
   



3. Select the output format such as "AVI,MOV,MP4" and click the button "start" . All conversion would be done automatically.
   



4. When the conversion is done, download the output video to the local disk on your computer.
   



5. Insert the video to your PowerPoint presentation.
   
   PowerPoint -> Insert-> Movies and sounds->Movies from file

2. If your flv video is on your computer. Visit http://www.media-convert.com/ and follow these steps.

2.1 Browse your local disk and select the flv video to be converted.

2.2 Select the expected output format and click the button "Convert"

2.3 When the conversion is done, download the output video to your computer

2.4 Then insert the video to your PowerPoint presentation.

PowerPoint -> Insert-> Movies and sounds->Movies from file

3. Fast and batch conversion using conversion software

if you have lots of flv videos to convert, you may use a conversion tool to save time. There are several tools that can convert Flv video. You can search "Flv to Avi" in Google and you'll get some tools can do this. But they are all shareware.

I would like to have your comments on my article. I'll be happy if this is helpful to you.

Click to learn how to make this tutorial

Create SmartArt and Share It!

SmartArt can be said as the coolest improvements in Office 2007, especially in PowerPoint. Yes, it is cool! Any plain text and bulleted items can be converted to vivid diagrams and graphics. Before Office 2007 had been launched, it is difficult for start users to make impact graphics or diagrams without the help of graphic design gurus. Things are different in PowerPoint 2007. Even beginners can easily develop professional look flow charts, hierarchy structure diagrams, and relationship graphics by themselves.

Since processes, concepts, hierarchies, and relationships can be illustrated in text, why we need SmartArt graphics?

SmartArt visualizes concepts and ideas that might not be efficiently explained with plain text. SmartArt can be customized to coordinate with your presentation.PowerPoint 2007 allows you turn the bulleted text from the early version PowerPoint presentations to dynamic graphics by one click.SmartArt graphics may clarify you presentation for better communication and understanding of the content.

Now, please allow me to introduce you some basic knowledge of SmartArt.

There are seven types of SmartArt including, List, Process, Cycle, Hierarchy, Relationship, Matrix, and Pyramid. By names, it won't be hard for you to figure out which type you will need under specific situation. After you applied a SmartArt graphic, you are allowed to change its theme and style by few clicks. PowerPoint 2007 allows you to convert bulleted text to dynamic SmartArt graphics. I built a flash-based tutorial about how to convert bulleted text to SmartArt graphics, you may view it from here.

After you created those professional looking presentations, you may want to put them on your web site to show for your customers. Since PowerPoint presentation does not support web delivering very well, it comes to be the biggest obstacle to improving the accessibility of your presentation. Three solutions, one is provide a download link of the presentation, the other one is outsourcing a flash professional to make a flash-based presentation, and the last choice is convert PowerPoint presentation to Flash movie than upload it to your web site.

It's obvious that the first solution costs less than the other two. But this approach challenges your customers' patience. Many of them would not download and have a look at your presentation unless they are highly interested in your products. Your customers will probably prefer your second solution, because for them, it is time saving and intuitive. For compensation you pay more money on this approach than others. Then, how about the third choice? As for as I know, only two companies have announced that their products support PowerPoint 2007, which are Wondershare PPT2Flash 4.1 and FlashDemo FlashPoint. If you need to make presentations frequently, the third solution must be the best choice. You may download and learn more about them by visiting the links on Resource Box.
