Content: For PowerPoint 2010, you can either convert your video to WMV/ASF or to MP4. However in the latter case you also need to have Apple QuickTime installed on your computer and might still run into problems with QuickTime encoded videos unless you convert them to MP4 with Clipchamp. Things get a bit easier with PowerPoint 2013 and 2016 where the preferred video format is MP4. However, the video and audio codecs in the MP4 container should be H.264 and AAC for the video to work reliably. Converting the video to WMV will also work and PowerPoint 2016 accepts a wider range of video formats than any of its predecessors. Though MP4 is still the most versatile option and compressed MP4 will help with reducing the presentation’s size if you embed videos directly. 4. Create PowerPoint-ready videos
In order to create a movie file that is guaranteed to work in any PowerPoint version for Windows, convert your original video using the “Windows” output option on clipchamp.com. This will result in a file in the .ASF format where the video is encoded using WMV and the audio is encoded using WMA. Note that these videos might not work in some PowerPoint versions on Mac.
