Like images, videos help tell a story. Local videos, videos from the web or from YouTube are just a click away in Presenter.
Presenter supports multiple video formats:
Format | Extension |
---|---|
M4V | .m4v |
Moving Picture Expert Group 4 | .mp4 |

With Presenter for iOS you can add both local videos, or link directly to videos on the Internet.
Presenter supports Markdown syntax for videos, which you enter like this:

However, an easier way is to use Content Blocks Syntax, where you add the image’s path or URL. Open the Media menu, head to Add Media, then select your preferred option (Library, Files, or YouTube). Or, tap on a video that’s already in the Media Manager. Finally, you can drag-and-drop a video or copy-paste a URL directly into Presenter. For example:
/assets/video-name.png
https://source.net/video-name.mov
An .iapresenter file is a .zip that includes your Markdown presentation file and all your assets. There’s no need to store videos separately from your presentation. You can manage videos from the Media menu.
Presenter uses two virtual folders for its videos:
assets
for graphics you add to a presentation, e.g. /assets/video-name.mov
theme
for reference graphics that come bundled with a theme, e.g. /Theme/video.mov
Use the asset folders when working with graphics (images and videos) in your presentation. You’ll use the theme folder to change graphics in layout themes.
You’ll find the Media button on the bottom-right of the toolbar. From the Media menu you can:
💡 To quickly add videos from YouTube, copy the URL from your browser, click the Add YouTube Video button in the Media Manager tab, and paste.
From the main menu, click iA Presenter, select Settings, and open the Presentation tab for further video options:
