PowerPoint has made making a fantastic presentation simple! Adding sound and movies are easy and quick and can make a PowerPoint presentation go from good to excellent in less than a minute!

Adding a Sound

At the top of the page go to Insert and then to Sound and Music and click on From File, Play CD Audio Track, or Record Sound.

Once you have selected where you would like to get your sound a small speaker will appear on your PowerPoint Page.When you are going through your power point the only thing that you will have to do is simply click on the speaker and you have you sound ready to go!

Adding a Movie

Adding a movie is very similar to adding a sound. You will go to Insert and then to Movie.

Once you have selected “Movie” it will take you to your finder (or an area with all of your applications) and then you will need to find where you have saved your movie (many times it’s in iMovie ect). Another box will pop up and will ask you if  you would like to have the movie start when you click on it or automatically, this part is up to you!

If that seems a little too confusing there is an even simpler way of adding a movie. When you create a new slide there are, many times, an option on the slide itself to add a movie (bottom right-hand corner).

After clicking on that link it will take you automatically to your finder and then you will need to find your movie and you are good to go!!
