The technical bit

As you may have already understood from the previous chapter, Prezi has its own built-in video player. Of course, the player sits behind the scenes of your Prezi canvas, so we never actually see it. What we do see are the videos playing beautifully in whichever format we've chosen to use. These might include the following movie file types:

• WMV*

• MOV*

• AVI*

• F4V

• FLV*

• MPG*

• MP4*

• M4V

• 3GP

• YouTube videos*

Note

Each of these formats differs, mostly in the way that they compresses the video that has been captured. For now, just know that the ones you'll probably come across the most are marked with an asterisk (*).

File size restrictions

If you are the proud owner of a Pro or Edu Pro license, then you'll be pleased to know that there are no file size restrictions at all placed upon your video files, except as limited by the total amount of storage allowed for your account.

Tip

Remember, the bigger the Prezi file size, the harder it will be to carry on a memory stick and/or share with your colleagues...
