  • How to Embed YouTube Flash Videos in Your PowerPoint Presentations - wikiHow on 2009-01-12
      • lay YouTube Flash Video Online in PowerPoint with Internet
        Access



        1. In PowerPoint 2003 and earlier versions, go to View -> Toolbars
          -> select "Control Toolbox".
          In PowerPoint 2007, go to PowerPoint
          Options -> Popular -> tick "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon".


        2. In the Control Toolbox, click the last icon "More Controls" which is
          displayed as hammer plus wrench. In the set of controls available on your
          computer, select "Shockwave Flash Object". Then use your mouse to draw and
          resize an area in the slide as you like to place your YouTube video.


        3. Go to the YouTube video page you'd like to add, and check the URL in the
          address bar of your Web browser. You'll get an address
          like

          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hChq5drjQl4

          Change the
          phrase watch?v= to v/, and now the address
          become

          http://www.youtube.com/v/hChq5drjQl4


        4. Right click the area you drew which is displayed as a big cross, select
          Properties and go to Properties tab. Copy and paste the YouTube video address in
          the field as value of attribute Movie; set the value of attribute
          Playing and Loop to False. Close the Properties tab when
          everything is done.
        5. Go to the YouTube video page you'd like to add, and check the URL in the
          address bar of your Web browser. You'll get an address like
          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hChq5drjQl4. Then try some online services like
          KeepVid or other offline tools to retrieve and download the original Flash video
          file from the address. Rename the downloaded YouTube Flash video file from
          "get_video" to "xxx.flv" as you like in FLV format.
        6. Now you need to decide in which format of YouTube Flash video you'd like to
          add in PowerPoint presentation. If directly inserting the Flash video in FLV
          format, you have to ensure the FLV file could be properly played back at first.
          It's recommended to install VideoLAN VLC media player to play YouTube Flash video files in
          FLV format.
        7. Find the hidden Control Toolbox out in PowerPoint and go to "More Controls"
          as the way in the first steps of online YouTube section above. Select "VideoLAN
          VLC ActiveX Plugin v1/v2" in the set of controls available, then draw and resize
          the displayed area with mouse in the slide as you like. Right click the area you
          drew and go to Properties tab, and complete the value of attribute "MRL" with
          the path of the YouTube Flash video file, like D:\Temp\2008\temp.flv, then close
          the tab. Now the YouTube Flash video in your hard drive is ready to play in the
          presentation.

  • 30 Unforgettable Movie Opening Sequences | Inspiration | Smashing Magazine on 2009-01-09
    • We all know that first impressions are important, right? Well, the same goes
      for film. The opening title sequence of a film is that film’s
      opportunity to make a good first impression on you, the viewer. A well-crafted
      title sequence introduces the audience to the tone and theme of the film as well
      as the cast and crew.


      Mind you, not all films have the luxury of a great title sequence. Some have
      budgetary constraints, limiting them to a simple, yet classic, white text on
      black background. Hey, it’s a style that has served Woody Allen very well for
      many years. Others prefer to take the minimalist road and omit the titles
      altogether, taking us straight to the action.


      In tribute to all of the wonderful title sequences in film, Smashing Magazine
      has collected 30 Unforgettable Title Sequences for your
      enjoyment and inspiration. We have chosen some of our favorite selections from
      all eras and genres. Of course, there are too many brilliant examples to list
      them all here. What are your favorites? What is missing in the list? Let us know
      in the comments!
