00:00 Here, I'll show you how to insert a video file and customize its size.
00:06 So let's get started.
00:07 So to add a video, you go into the Insert tab over here into the menu.
00:13 Then on the right, you'll see the video.
00:15 Simply click on it and select Movie from File.
00:20 And from there, you can browse your computer to find the set video that you want to import.
00:26 So simply double click on it.
00:28 It will appear in the page, most likely in full size.
00:32 And then you can resize it to your liking.
00:36 So let's say here I want to put it into the MacBook here.
00:39 So I'll resize it here.
00:44 And it goes off page, so it's all right with me here.
00:49 However, if you need to fit it into a small video or specific area, you can explore cropping
00:56 options.
00:57 So here we'll go into an iPad example.
01:00 So I'll redo the steps.
01:01 Click on the Insert menu, go to Video, Movie from File, select the video, we'll import
01:07 it to the page.
01:10 I will resize it to the size of the iPad.
01:15 And I will center it as much as I can here.
01:22 And then I'll click on the crop button here up top into the Video Format menu.
01:26 And I'll use these handles here and I'll crop it so it can fit into the iPad.
01:33 You can always move the video inside the crop part if you want it centered or not.
01:41 Here I want it centered, so I'll keep it here.
01:45 And that's how you crop the video to your liking.
01:52 Once you've resized the video, you can review it within the slide.
01:56 Simply hover over the video and click on the play down here.
02:02 And then you can move inside here to the desired part.
02:09 There's also a second way to preview it.
02:11 You can go down here into the slide show button here and simply preview it in full screen
02:20 in the page and click on it and then you'll preview it.
02:31 So that's about it for inserting a video and resizing it to your liking.
