Video can be added to a PicturesToExe Project in the same way as images can be added.

• Via the File List
• By dragging and dropping into the Slide List
• By adding as an Object in Objects and Animation

Whichever way the Video is added it is advisable to Convert the Video Clip before adding it to the Project. This can be done by “Right clicking” on the Video File in the File List and choosing “Convert Video Clip”.

The Default Settings are:

• Quality 50% (Normal)
• Interlace Mode (Auto)
• Location of Source Video
• Destination of Converted Video
• Converted video is <Filename>.converted.avi

Press “Convert Video” to start the process of Conversion

You can Trim the video Clip before conversion as shown above.

• Tick the “Trim Video” box
• You can move the blue cursors in from the edges to set the Start and End of the Trim
• You can enter times directly into the Start / End Time boxes
• The Original and Output Duration's are shown
• The Source Resolution and Aspect Ratio of the clip are shown
• You can Resize the Output Resolution if required (see drop-down menu for options)

This can be done as follows.

• Select an unconverted video (or videos) from the File List and Right Click on it. Choose “Add Selected Files to Project”. You are asked if you want to Optimize the file. Choose “Optimize”. The file will be added to the Slide list while the Optimization is carried out in the background. When Optimization is complete the Converted File is shown in the Slide List. (The conversion might take several minutes).

When Video Files are added to the Slide List the Slide Duration is calculated according to the Video Duration and can differ according to the setting of the “Default Options for New Slides” in:
