video flv file not inserting

Apr 08, 2013

I took my video clip- put in Encoder, published to flv file, put in folder, am trying to insert.

Popup states: Powerpoint cannot insert a video from the selected file. Verify the path and file format are correct, and then try again.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Julie, are you trying to insert in PPT itself, or in an Engage .intr? (or other Articulate component) PPT doesn't accept .flv's, only the four video formats listed in this help listing:

The Engage .intr or other Articulate component will accept .flv's with no problems.

Hi,

When I went into Presenter, I didn't see Insert Video, so I thought that I had to go back to PPT to insert. After reading through some forums, and downloading codecs, I realize that I needed to click Flash Movie in Articulate.

Aughh- one of these days I'll get all of this. Thanks for your quick response- I truly appreciate it.
