Adding local videos to your presentation is as easy as drag-and-dropping into the Editor. Alternatively, link directly to a YouTube video.
Presenter supports these video formats:
Format | Extension |
---|---|
M4V | .m4v |
Moving Picture Expert Group 4 | .mp4 |

Presenter supports Markdown syntax for images and videos ![](video.mov)
, but you’ll find it’s easier to use Content Blocks Syntax instead.
Enter the video’s path in Presenter. Presenter uses two virtual folders:
assets
for graphics added to the presentation, e.g. /assets/video.mov
Theme
to reference graphics bundled with a theme, e.g. /Theme/video.mov
You can change a local video’s (and image’s) size, position and other settings with Content Blocks Syntax metadata. To do so, click the dropdown arrow ⬇️ at the end of the video’s path and select your layout preference.
The video is resized to entirely cover the available space while preserving its aspect ratio. If it does not match the aspect ratio of its container, the video will be clipped.
Presenter videos live in a space called containers. Depending on the layout, a container can be the full slide, a column, or just a cell if you’re using a grid layout.
The video should fill the available space while preserving its aspect ratio, so it will be “letterboxed” if its aspect ratio does not match the aspect ratio of the container.
It is important to know that vertical or horizontal positions are only available depending on the aspect ratio of the video and its container.
You have the choice between:
You can add filters (Lighten, Darken, Grayscale, Sepia, Blur) to your videos or opacity. Note that those options are more often useful when working with images instead of videos.
Note that the above options are not available for videos from YouTube. We recommend adding those to an empty slide to have them displayed on full-scale on the slide.
In Settings, you’ve got a couple of tweaks for local videos:
To change these, just head to Settings → Presentation → Content.
