Adding Video

To create a true multimedia experience for your audience, consider adding video to your Keynote ’08 presentation.

To add video, use any of the following methods:

  • Drag a QuickTime movie file from a folder on your hard drive to the slide canvas or directly to a media placeholder on a Keynote slide.
  • Click the Media button in the Keynote toolbar. Then click the Movies button. Drag the movie you want to add from the Media browser onto the slide canvas or directly into a media placeholder on the slide.
  • Select Choose from the Insert menu, navigate to the folder to which you saved your movie, and select the video file you want to place in your presentation. Click Insert.

Do you want to include a Flash movie file in your Keynote presentation? You can insert a Flash movie using any of the aforementioned options, but if you’re using QuickTime 7.1.3 or later, you need to set a Flash preference.

To view a Flash movie using QuickTime:

  1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
  2. Click QuickTime in the Internet & Network row.
  3. In the Advanced tab, click the checkbox to enable Flash.
