How to Add an iTunes Sound to PowerPoint Presentation

Add music, add a mood to your PowerPoint presentation. You wanna use a song from iTunes store as background music of the PowerPoint file? Oops, there is a format problem. PowerPoint doesn't accept iTunes music, which is encoded in M4P. You need to make a format alternation before inserting the iTunes sound into your presentation.

Here I will discuss in 2 sections how to convert iTunes music to a PowerPoint-supported audio format, and how to import the converted iTunes sound to PowerPoint 2003/2007.

Section 1 Convert iTunes Music to PowerPoint compatible audio (e.g. MP3)

Mentioning this issue, we should know which sound formats are compatible with PowerPoint.
Audio file formats compatible with PowerPoint 2003/2007 include: AIFF, AU, MIDI, MP3, WAV, WMA
Among the sound formats above, MP3 is the most familiar to us, with its small size and good sound quality. So to convert iTunes music to PowerPoint compatible format often means to realize the conversion from M4P to MP3.
Generally, you can try these two ways to convert an iTunes track to MP3 audio format.

Method 1 Burn and Rip the iTunes music to MP3 for PowerPoint

  • In the iTunes store, select the track that you want to use in your PowerPoint presentation. Then burn it to an empty CD disk.
  • Open the disk with Windows Media Player, and rip music from the CD into a *.wma format. Right click on the track and choose to send to Windows Audio Converter. There you can choose the format as MP3 and save it to a folder.

Method 2 Convert iTunes to MP3 with Third-party Audio Converter

You can also use a third-party audio conversion tool to convert iTunes to MP3.
iTunes to MP3 Conversion software include: TUNEBITE Platinum, SoundTaxi Converter, 5star freeTunes, and AppleMacSoft DRM Converter for Mac
Choose one that fits to your system, and convert the iTunes M4P to PowerPoint-ready MP3.

Note: iTunes music files (M4P - "protected AAC") have DRM protection which prevent users from converting it to other formats or adding iTunes songs to PowerPoint presentation directly. To insert iTunes music to PowerPoint slide show as background music, you will need to remove DRM protection from iTunes Music and convert iTunes to MP3 for PowerPoint first.

Section 2 Import converted iTunes music to your PowerPoint presentation

Now, it's time to insert the iTunes MP3 sound to your PowerPoint presentation. Follow these steps:

  • a. Go to the slide where you want to add the iTunes MP3 sound. Select Insert -> Movies and Sounds -> Sound from File to insert the sound file from your local drive. Click OK.
  • b. Then you will see a message pop up asking how you want the sound to start in slide shows. Click Automatically.

    For more about adding a MP3 file to PowerPoint, see in How to Set Background Music for PowerPoint

    To play the iTunes music across all the slides, explore in How to Play a Sound across Multiple Slides in PowerPoint

    To extract an iTunes MP3 sound from PowerPoint, take the audio video mix Moyea PPT to Video Converter

    Create and Distribute a Class PowerPoint Presentation (II)


    Creating a good PowerPoint presentation is the first step. Remember to practice over and over your class PowerPoint presentation until to a perfect extent. The next thing is distribution of the class presentation. How to distribute it depends on several factors, where the class PowerPoint presentation is made, where it is going to display, and how many students or classmates will attend to your class, etc.


    I have mentioned in my previous post (Section I) how to make a fine class PowerPoint presentation, now I am to share with you how to distribute a PowerPoint masterpiece in the following Section II.


    PowerPoint distribution tips Section II: Distribute a Sound Class PowerPoint Presentation


    1. Save your class PowerPoint file on the same computer
    If your class presentation is created at and is to be distributed with the same computer (usu. your laptop), then simply leave it there. But by this method, you may run on certain risks of the vulnerable PowerPoint - computer corruption, Internet disconnection, and virus attacks. Many people do that, however, it is not recommended, especially when your class PowerPoint presentation is of critical importance.


    2. Simply e-mail your class PowerPoint file
    It is a PowerPoint presentation of homework, and you are required to email to your teacher's account for review. In that case, simply e-mail the presentation.


    Note -



    • Don't email a class presentation unless you are sure that the recipient use the same OS (don't email from a PC to a Mac), the same version or later of PowerPoint program. Some people don't have MS PowerPoint installed on their computers, nor do they have a proper PowerPoint Viewer to read your class presentation.

    • Don't forget to include the whole PowerPoint components (the presentation itself, the sound file, the video file if there is any) in the same folder before zipping it to email. Otherwise, the sounds or video clips embedded in your class presentation will not play on the recipient's computer.

    • And don't email your class PowerPoint presentation if you are afraid of unwanted modification by others.


    3. Save your class PowerPoint content to video
    convert PowerPoint to video
    For an online class, you can apply this simple but effective means - save your class PowerPoint content to video, which is more flexible for Web share. When your class PowerPoint content is finalized in protective video, you can email it with comfort or upload it to your website, blog, MySpace, or YouTube, and invite your students or classmates to join in. Nevertheless, finalize your PowerPoint presentation in video first, using some excellent conversion software like PowerPoint to Video Converter


    4. Save your class PowerPoint presentation onto a DVD disc
    burn PowerPoint to DVD
    If you are to take your PowerPoint presentation from home to school, consider burning or saving it to a DVD disc. A DVD backup is a wise relief from your vulnerable PowerPoint presentation. You will neither suffer from such computer risks as computer corruption, virus attacks that may occur by Method 1, nor bother to any version trouble or cross-platform inability as may happen by Method 2. An additional benefit of this PowerPoint to DVD method is that you can play your class PowerPoint at a DVD player on big screen TV, just like a professional movie.
    Software to burn your class PowerPoint to sleek DVD:
    PowerPoint to DVD Burner


    5. Save your class PowerPoint file as PDF
    As to printing and reprinting, you can save your class PowerPoint as PDF. Before taking this means, you should make sure your recipient has Acrobat Reader or else PDF viewer on his/her computer. If your class presentation is composed on MS PowerPoint 2007, you can save it direct to PDF since there is a Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS Add-in for 2007. You can also use a standalone conversion app, e.g. PowerPoint to PDF Converter, to turn your class presentation into organized PDF. Save as PDF, and give a PDF copy to each attendant, when you intend to deliver your class presentation with full sense.


    Voila. The remarkable teaching aid PowerPoint deserves your effort and taste. Take all the tips here on class presentation creation and distribution, and make full use of PowerPoint to improve your teaching.

    More often than not, PowerPoint users are confronted with these two problems - the failure in embedding an .flv file into a presentation, and the trouble of showing the PowerPoint content on YouTube or MySpace. Let's go through both the problems one by one.


    Part I: Embed a flash video into PowerPoint presentation


    Blind to FLV (Flash Video) files, however, MS PowerPoint shakes his natural disapproval of flash video embedding. For that reason, it is impossible to embed a flash video into a presentation unless converted to .mpeg, .avi, .wmv or else video format that PowerPoint can recognize.


    To adjust your flash video to an appropriate format for PowerPoint, follow the four methods for four different cases as listed below:


    Case 1 Flash video from YouTube or MySpace

    If the selected flash video is one of your local favorites, then go to the site http://media-convert.com/convert/ and follow these steps:


    1. Click Browse to pick from your local drive the FLV file to be converted.


    media converter


    2. Select a proper output format like WMV and click OK on the right to start processing.


    3. After the conversion, download the output video back to your local computer.


    Now it is a piece of cake to embed the converted "flash video" to your PowerPoint presentation. Similar to the insertion in Case 1.


    Case 3 Fast and batch conversion of Flash videos

    YouTube and PowerPoint: Embed YouTube video into PowerPoint & Put PowerPoint presentation onto YouTube


    As one of the largest websites, YouTube is now the first place on the Internet to find various news videos and clips, and has proved to be a wonderful reservoir of valuable videos at this media-saturated era.


    Have you ever thought of downloading a YouTube video to embed in your PowerPoint presentation, or uploading a PowerPoint-based video to YouTube for the world to share? I dare say most of you have. Here, I will give a two-way introduction to how to make an interactive use of YouTube and PowerPoint.


    Section I


    question-mark How to embed YouTube videos into the PowerPoint presentations?


    An embedded video relevant to your subject is no doubt a great credit to your PowerPoint presentation, which not only makes you seem more professional but adds fun to capture the audience.


    To get a YouTube video embedded in your PPT presentation, you can take either of these methods:


    Method 1 Copy the Embed code of the YouTube video into PowerPoint presentation


    It is the most straightforward among all the methods of putting a YouTube video into PowerPoint. Note that you should ensure that you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed on your computer prior to this method.


    Simply copy the Embed code of the YouTube video (as seen in "Embedded" field) that you want to use for your presentation and save it on a notepad.


    In the PowerPoint file, go to the Developer ribbon and click the "More Controls…" icon.


    more controls


    In the prompt-up More Controls dialog, choose the option Shockwave Flash Object and click OK.


    Shockwave Flash Object


    Next, go to the slide with the Shockwave Flash Object box, and right click the cross-lined box to select the Properties option. Then copy the video embed code from the notepad and enter it into the Value column of the Movie item in the Properties interface. That's it!


    For more details of this YouTube into PowerPoint method, refer to the very tip How to Play YouTube Video in PowerPoint Presentations


    IMPORTANT: The URL insertion is subject to Internet connection. In another word, the embedded YouTube video would not play in your presentation should your computer be out of Web connection.


    Method 2 Convert YouTube videos to compatible MPEG, AVI, MOV or WMV for PowerPoint


    As YouTube videos are encoded in FLV, a format that is not accepted by MS PowerPoint, they must be converted to a PowerPoint-compatible format like MPEG, AVI, MOV or WMV prior to inserting.


    In this method, what you need is something like a video converter to convert FLV to WMV or other PowerPoint supported video formats. You can find a sea of such software apps, e.g. YouTube downloader and Online FLV Converter, most of which are free. These software programs usually work similar in principle. First you have to download and install such a converter, then copy the YouTube video URL to the related field of the converter for download. After the video file is downloaded, use the converter again to select an appropriate video format that you want to convert to. Finally, save the converted video file to you local drive, and then embed the YouTube video into your PowerPoint presentation.


    The method require a third-party medium, yet it is not bad a choice in case of the network trouble.


    Section II


    question-markHow to convert PowerPoint presentations to YouTube videos?


    In Section I, we have mentioned how to embed a YouTube video into PowerPoint presentations. Now, we are to introduce the other side of the coin: how to convert a delicate PPT file to FLV (Flash Video) for showing on YouTube.


    PowerPoint presentations including a rich collection of animations are also excellent source of a vivid video. To create a video out of PowerPoint is of less cost and of more fun than of a digital camera. Here follows two major ways of converting a PPT presentation to YouTube video.


    (i) Free Windows Movie Maker


    It is a free video creating program developed by Microsoft for Windows. To make a movie with the software, you have to first save your presentation as a pile of JEPG pictures, and then input the picture album to the movie maker. Although sounds are allowed to add in for a dynamic effect, there's an obvious fault in the free program - it is unable to retain the full animations from the original presentation.


    (ii) Moyea PPT to Video Converter


    This is a smart solution for converting PowerPoint presentations to any format of video, no except to the popular YouTube video. Most of all, it is able to preserve every subtlety of your PowerPoint presentation in the YouTube video, just at an affordable $49.95.


    There are two tutorials on the PowerPoint to YouTube video converter. Click to have a look at:


    video button Video Tutorial of Converting PowerPoint Presentation to YouTube Video


    document icon Documental Tutorial of Converting PowerPoint Presentation to YouTube Video


    After conversion, you will find it a cinch to watch and share your PowerPoint slideshow on YouTube.


    Enjoy the amusement of flexible conversion between the magnificent PowerPoint slideshow and YouTube video.

    Get images and sounds from PowerPoint for reuse


    When you get a PowerPoint presentation embedded with nice images and sounds, you may want to extract those delicacies for separate reuse elsewhere, e.g. in another presentation, in your blog or podcast, etc.


    Then how do you extract the sounds and images from a targeted PowerPoint presentation?


    Follow these steps:


    ♦ Go to your PPT presentation, select File -> Save As -> Other Formats.


    ♦ In the prompt Save As dialog, choose "Web Page (*.htm, *.html)" from the "Save as type:" drop-down list.


    save powerpoint as html


    ♦ Specify a folder to save in and rename the file.


    ♦ Finally, click the Save button.


    Go to that folder, and you'll find a single HTML file with the specified name along with a new folder labeled the same name plus "_files". For example, if the file name is "happy hut. htm", the folder name should appear as "happy hut_files".


    Open the new folder of a bunch of files, and you can pick out the sounds and original image files of your PPT presentation.


    In addition, it is also possible to save and publish the whole presentation of images and sounds onto Web or mobile devices. What you need is to convert your PowerPoint presentation to video, a format that is portable and web-friendly, just using the smart PowerPoint to Video Converter.

    Why and How to Finalize a Presentation


    Why need to finalize a presentation?


    These days, most presentations are delivered electronically, either in person, by e-mail, or from a Web site. As you develop a presentation, PowerPoint 2007 attaches identifying and tracking information to it as properties. If your presentation will never leave your computer, you don't have to worry that these properties might contain something that you would rather other people did not see.


    However, if the presentation file is going to be shared with other people, you will want to remove this identifying and tracking information before you distribute the presentation. This is known as "scrubbing" a file. The scrubbing process is carried out by the Document Inspector, a PowerPoint 2007 feature that checks a presentation for various types of behind-the-scenes information, reports what it finds, and removes the types you specify.


    How do you finalize a presentation?


    One solution is to mark your presentation in PowerPoint 2007. The properties attached to the file by PowerPoint include the name of the author, the title, when the file was created and updated, and so on. You might want to enter other properties, such as keywords, to help you easily find the presentation or to keep track of its status. You enter properties in the Properties pane.


    You might also want to mark it as final before distributing a presentation. This feature (new in PowerPoint 2007) saves the file, deactivates most PowerPoint tools, and displays an icon in the status bar to indicate that no further changes should be made to the presentation. This process does not lock the presentation, however; if you want to make additional changes to the presentation, you can turn off the final status.


    PowerPoint to DVD and videoThe best solution to burn PowerPoint to DVD & convert PowerPoint to video


    Another solution is to save your presentation as DVD or video that is safe from plagiary. This would be of great help if you are using 2003 PowerPoint. If you don't want to bother yourself with those complex PowerPoint edits, just take the one-step option - PowerPoint to DVD and PowerPoint to video Burner

    Present Easter Stories for Children

    Generally, Easter stories for children are divided into two main types - Religious Easter and Fun Easter. Religious Easter stories have a Christian nature to remind the kids of Jesus' love while Fun Easter stories involve pleasant images like chubby chicks, Easter eggs and lovely bunny, all that about hope, faith, rebirth and renewal.

    Here lists some short stories that are picked for children teaching:

    Religious EasterTop 5 Religious Christian Easter Stories
    1. A Lesson of Faith

    2. A Child’s Dream of a Star
    by Charles Dickens

    3. An Evening With the Angels
    Author Unknown

    4. Glories
    by Ellen Robena Field

    5. King Robert of Sicily

    Easter funPopular Fun Easter Short Stories for Kids

    1. The Easter Story

    2. Molly’s Easter Hen

    3. The Song of the Spring
    by Annie Willis McCullough

    4. The Tale of Peter Rabbit
    by Beatrix Potter from The Original Peter Rabbit Books

    5. The Tale of Benjamin Bunny
    by Beatrix Potter from The Original Peter Rabbit Books

    After story pick, you should be aware of the teaching method – you cannot expect the Easter story to make any sense unless you tell it in an easy-to-get way. Here let’s come to the next step

    How to tell those Easter stories in a simple manner?

    You needn’t to worry about that thanks to the great authoring tool PowerPoint. As is known, little children are more likely to be attracted by animated images than plain texts. So edit your Easter story in PowerPoint where you can add Easter pictures and songs, and employ various animations to achieve effects.
    For free Easter PowerPoint templates, refer to this Download Free EasterPowerPoint Templates

    OK. A vivid Easter presentation is made, now you can take it to your class and show to your kids. To avoid the compatibility problem of different computers and the delivery difficulty, however, we kindly suggest you make a DVD or video copy of the Easter story. This can be quickly done with the professional PowerPoint to DVD and PowerPoint to video conversion software PowerPoint to DVD Burner

    Create April Fools' Prank Video

    April Fools’ Day is not only a festival but a funny gift. Enjoy the gift and trick a lot with your own prank video.

    Happy April Fool's Day

    April Fool's Day is all about pranks and practical jokes. Are you going to play April hoaxes? It's really a great amusement. Traditional pranks such as sudden shower, salt surprise, tricky coin and avalanche are not bad for fooling an April fish. But they may seem a bit stale to surprise veteran victims. In contrast, a creative prank would be much better to get someone duped.

    There are cans of imaginative juices on April Fools. One fresh idea I would like to introduce is to create an April Fool's prank video from PowerPoint. Videos are now the apple of the netizens' eye. If you are a computer user, you may get engaged in a sea of funny videos on YouTube during your daily surfing online. You may wish you made a staggering video and showed it to the whole world. And of course, you can easily realize that if armed with a video camera.

    What if you haven't got such a camera? Still, you can do it - simply employ MS PowerPoint to create a gag video. Other than content authoring for office meetings and school teaching, PowerPoint works magic in game creating as well. It must be a challenging fun to compose your crafts into a living hoax using PowerPoint. Put your April prank into PowerPoint, and take full advantage of those dynamic animations and wipes, shapes and graphics to make an eye-catching presentation. IMPORTANT: Please avoid adding in elements (e.g. race sensitive, discriminated) that may hurt or harm the feelings your victims while editing in PowerPoint.

    Nevertheless, you may have to take up a medium to convert the prank presentation to video format as PowerPoint itself lacks the function of saving as video. One of your best assistants is PowerPoint to Video Converter, a dedicated software tool to clone your PowerPoint prank to streamline video within one mouse click. Simply use the software to realize conversion from PowerPoint presentation to video. Then you can upload your April Fool's prank onto YouTube, email it to a friend or co-worker, and connect it to a portable to share with your family.

    That is the way that a creative mind takes to celebrate 2009 April Fool's Day – Simply with a crisp prank video out of productive PowerPoint. Sounds saucy, isn't it? So set out your genius of joking and craft a gag video game as gift for the April Fool's festival.

    Why convert PowerPoint to Video?

    It’s safe to say there are hundreds of millions of PowerPoint presentations around the world that are sitting idle – a library of knowledge that was used once and will probably never be tapped again.

    PowerPoint users from companies, schools and government agencies all expressed a desire to have their presentations live on beyond their original use at a meeting or conference. These users point out that for every person who attends a live presentation, countless others could benefit by viewing a presentation later. The problem, as we have all experienced, is that while others can view a static PowerPoint slide deck, only those who attended the original presentation receive the full benefit. People who view it later will not hear the presenter’s voice, or understand what points were emphasized, or hear questions and answers that were discussed.

    There is a need for an easy way to capture the full benefit of a PowerPoint presentation; a method that does not require extensive training or expensive equipment

    Here are a few instances when converting a PowerPoint file to video would be beneficial:
    • To give your corporate audience or sales prospects a take-home video of your narrated presentation on CD-ROM or DVD.
    • To record and post your presentation online so that students and parents can review assignments at their convenience.
    • To create PowerPoint-based how-to videos for colleagues and customers who are learning to use new software.
    • To create a presentation for grandma of her grandchildren and deliver it on DVD in the new DVD player that you bought her for the holidays.

    Slide Show vs. Video

    It’s important to remember that PowerPoint was not created with video in mind, which is why users create slides and not video frames. Slides, unlike frames, are static and therefore have a smaller file size. Video, which are frames in motion, result in larger file sizes. However, watching a full-motion video of PowerPoint presentation, like watching a movie, is very engaging and memorable.

    There are also many recording benefits that are only associated with video, such native real-time and full-motion options. The most popular way for individuals to deliver a rich video presentation is to burn it to CD-ROM or DVD. In a corporate setting employees can save videos to a network drive and a company’s systems administrator can make videos accessible to employees, customers, and partners to view on-demand (regardless of location) by uploading the files to an external server.

    How to Harness the Power of YouTube to Get More Traffic to Your Site

    I have seen many webmasters surprisingly ignoring YouTube (even though Google puts YouTube videos on almost every search query nowadays) as a great promotional medium and traffic generator. In this post, I’ll tell you step by step how you can get great traffic from YouTube.

    How to Get Traffic from YouTube

    1. Create a Nice Video. You can spend 100 bucks and find someone to create a professional video which you can use everywhere, but personally I advise you use software like Moyea PPT to video converter to convert video from PowerPoint presentation the you created, which could be much cheaper.

    2. Give it a Nice Title.
    The title is one of the most important things of your video. Give it a title which can rank in Google as well as catch user attention, something like “How to Buy Cheap Second Hand Bikes - Example.com.”

    3. Don’t forget to Watermark it. Make sure every frame/slide of the video has small watermark of your site.

    4. Leave it for More. Create the video in such a way that it’s informative yet leave enough out so the user comes to your site. Saying this, it will be good if the video is indeed informative and useful. Give the 80% on the video and say the rest is on the site.

    5. Add a Nice Description.
    Put some informative content in the description (i.e., “more info…”) section of your video. Make sure you link to your site from it. Lots of people use YouTube feeds that rip the descriptions of YouTube videos, so that’s added traffic for you. Just imagine how much continuous traffic a video can bring you if it is indeed good and informative.

    6. Disable Ratings and Comments. You don’t want those “Your Mom is…” or “Forward this to 5 people or you will die” kind of comments in your video, do you? Just disable comments and ratings.

    How to Increase Views of Your YouTube Video

    Google normally shows videos which have high views in their SERPs, so you also need to make sure your video initially gets good views (after that it will start going up on its own). For this you can do the following:

    1. Promote your video on your blog and almost everywhere. Link it from every place you can find. Link it from Squidoo lenses of yours (I often do this). Send it to friends and others.

    2. There are some people at Digitalpoint selling 10k YouTube views for few bucks (eh? must be PTC or proxy traffic), so you can hire them to quickly lead the charts. Remember, people often like to sort the YouTube search results as page views. This is where you can score.

    3. If nothing works and you are way too desperate, than start rickrolling (for example, “Check out Hot Latino Teens kissing here “). Ok, I am just joking (you should not play with people’s emotions like this!!!). Anyway, I don’t think things will come to this level if you are imaginative.

    My own YouTube case study



    Now you should understand how to get more traffic to your site from youtube, just try it.
