6. How to include a video (2 options) The differences between linked and embedded videos The main difference between linked videos and embedded videos is where the data are stored and how updates of the original video file are handled. You can either link to a video or include a copy of the video into the document. Linked videos The Powerpoint file stores only the location of the source file, and it displays a representation of the original video. When the original video file has been modified, the PowerPoint file will display the updated linked video. Use linked objects if file size matters. If you choose to link a video file to your Powerpoint, please make sure to UPLOAD both files – the Powerpoint and the video file! Embedded videos When you embed a video file into the Powerpoint presentation, the embedded video becomes a part of the Powerpoint file. If the original video has been modified you need to reinsert the updated video file.

7. How to include a video (2 options) Option 1: Embed a video file stored on your PC In Normal view, click the slide that you want the video to be in. On the Insert tab, click the arrow under Video, and then click Video on My PC. In the Insert Video box, click the video that you want, and then click Insert. Please check the instruction video  Option 2: Link to a video file stored on your PC Tip: To prevent broken links, copy the videos you're using to the same folder as your presentation before you link to them. In Normal view, click the slide where you want the link to the video to be in. On the Insert tab, click the arrow under Video, and then click Video on my PC. In the Insert Video box, click the file that you want to link to, click the down arrow next to the Insert button, and then click Link to File. Please check the instruction video 

8. In PowerPoint 2010 and later, you can apply animation effects (motion) to text, pictures, shapes, SmartArt graphics, and more, so they play in your slide show. Note: In PowerPoint, animations are not the same as transitions. A transition animates the way one slide changes to the next. 1. Select the object or text on the slide that you want to animate. 2. On the Animations tab, click Add Animation, and pick an animation effect. Please check the instruction video  Apply an animation effect to text or objects

9. You can use any animation by itself, or combine multiple effects together. For instance, to make a line of text fly in while it grows, apply a Fly In entrance effect and a Grow/Shrink emphasis effect to it. Click Add Animation to add effects, and use the Animation Pane to set the emphasis effect to occur With Previous. More about animating text and objects There are four different types of animation effects: Entrance effects make an object fade gradually into focus, fly onto the slide from an edge, or bounce into view. Exit effects include making an object fly off of the slide, disappear from view, or spiral off of the slide. Emphasis effects include making an object shrink or grow in size, change color, or spin on its center. You can use Motion Paths to make an object move up or down, left or right, or in a star or circular pattern (among other effects). You also can draw your own motion path. Important: To make sure that animations play when you present your slide show, make sure that when you go to Slide show > Set Up Slide Show that the Show without animation box is cleared. If this box is checked, animations will show when you preview your slide show, but not when you present. Please check the instruction video  Apply an animation effect to text or objects
