• Specify placement: If TOC or Stage. Depending on the placement, an icon appears at the lower-right corner of the
slide on Filmstrip and on the Timeline:
• if on TOC
• if on stage
You might place the video on TOC in talking heads scenarios where the focus is on objects in the slide (such as text
or a Flash video). Placing video on TOC, helps you avoid the distraction that playing a slide video on stage can cause
and viewers losing focus.
When you have the slide video play on TOC, ensure that you select Show TOC (Project > Table of Contents) so that
the TOC also is visible while you play the project.
• Launch Edit Video timing dialog box: Click to edit video timing. For more information on editing the video
timing, see “Edit video timing” on page 110.
• Delete: Click to delete slide video.
Updating slide videos
1 Modify the source file of the video as required.
2 Open the project in which you want to update the video.
3 In the Media > Video folder of the Library panel, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac) the name of the
video, and click Update.
The changes reflect on all slides that use the video.
Using audio
You cannot associate additional audio to a slide video. Therefore, Adobe recommends that you use audio in file and
not audio as object ensure proper synchronization.
Setting timing
❖ In the Timing area of the Property Inspector (Window > Properties), specify the seconds after which the slide video
must appear on the specific slide.
Setting transition
❖ In the Transition area of the Property Inspector (Window > Properties), specify the transition effects for the slide
video.
Note: Transition effects do not apply to slide videos that are used in the TOC.
Setting the size and position of slide videos
1 In the Position & Size area of the Property Inspector (Window > Properties), specify the values for size and position.
Note: Applying arbitrary sizes to video objects degrade the quality of the video on published project.
2 Click to apply the values to all the slides in the slide video group. Slide video group consists of slides into which
you imported the slide video simultaneously.
Note: Apply to all applies the size and position values only to the group of slides into which the slide video was
imported. These values do not apply to other instances of the video in the project (other slide video groups).
