Videos

Like images, videos help tell a story. Local videos, videos from the web or from YouTube are just a tap away in Presenter.

Adding Videos

Presenter supports multiple video formats:

With Presenter for iOS you can add both local videos, or link directly to videos on the Internet. Simply click on the image icon on the top-right of the toolbar to access the Media Menu

Using Syntax or the Media Manager

Presenter supports Markdown syntax for videos, which you enter like this:

![](video-name.mov)

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.

The Media Menu

You’ll find the Media button on the bottom-right of the toolbar. From the Media menu you can:

• View a list of all your assets
• Delete videos (swipe from right to left on the video)
• Rename videos or get a preview (swipe from left to right on the video)
• Add YouTube video links

💡 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.
