Want to make your video even more moving? You can add mp4 files to your video or import your Prezi presentations with locally uploaded video files and convert them in the Prezi Video desktop app to go live or record yourself and your content on the screen. Add your short clips and make them an integral part of the interactive experience that is Prezi Video!

Importing from Prezi Present
To play a video in Prezi Video when converting a Prezi Present presentation, you'll need to add it to a presentation you've created in Prezi Present.
1. Navigate to the place in your presentation where you’d like to add the video.
2. Click the Insert button at the top of your screen, then select Video.
3. In the sidebar, you can either:
- Add a video from your own library
- Upload a file from your computer by clicking Upload video
- Click the arrow next to the button to select a file from Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive
4. After the file uploads, you can move, resize, and rotate the video as needed.
Make sure the file's extension is ".mp4" before uploading it and we recommend adding video files that are no more than 50 MB in size to avoid a possible decrease in performance.
Adjusting content
Since your face should also be visible alongside your content, you might need to rearrange objects on your canvas so nothing covers you when you import your presentation to record a video.
1. Click Create Video in the top toolbar.
2. Use the Adjust content button in the sidebar to automatically shift the layout of the presentation to the right or drag and drop to manually move objects.
You can still add, delete or modify your content the same way as if you were editing any Prezi presentation and can also freeze or turn off the camera anytime. You can decide to either make a copy of the presentation with the adjusted layout or update the one you are editing.
3. When the presentation is ready, save it and open the Prezi Video desktop application.
Importing the presentation in Prezi Video
1. With the Prezi Video app open, choose Import.
2. Select Prezi, search for the presentation and click Import selected.
This will import all the content in your presentation and remove the background image so you can be seen in the background.
Playing a clip while recording or live streaming
1. When you're ready, start recording or live streaming.
2. Once you get to the slide including the video file, simply click the Play button on the thumbnail in the sidebar or click the video window or the Play button in the video window on screen to start playing your video. You can also mute and unmute your video from the sidebar or from the video window.
3. Double-click on the video window to play it in full-screen or use the Full mode icon at the bottom of the screen. After you finished playing the video, simply click the arrow to move forward to the next slide. You can also pause or mute the video any time from the sidebar or from the video window and go to the next slide.
