How To Edit Video Clips Inside Powerpoint With Windows Media Player

There's no reason to fear working with video in Microsoft PowerPoint.

Tom Bunzel, a presentation expert contributing to Presentations.com reports that "although this is a complex area of multimedia, improvements in digital-video capture and editing, as well as improvements in PowerPoint, make it easy to insert a video clip into a slideshow.

In other words, if you can insert an image into PowerPoint, you can insert a video clip."

Placing video in a PowerPoint presentation has become a relatively painless process, but there is more than one way to do it. Knowing the difference between inserting a MOVIE FROM FILE and inserting a MEDIA CLIP can be helpful.

As many know, inserting a video clip requires using the insert menu, then MOVIES AND SOUNDS ยป MOVIE FROM FILE.

But say you want to pull several clip segments from one video file, or you're planning to use a video clip that only needs trimming.

Rather than having to go into a video-editing application to create the video clips you need, you can trim video clips using the Windows Media Player from within PowerPoint.

Before I explain how to create a media-clip object, consider the following issues to decide whether this method works best for your presentation.
