You can add bookmarks to indicate points of interest in a video or audio clip. Bookmarks can be used to trigger animations or to mark a specific location to jump to in a media file.
While you're delivering a presentation, a bookmark in a media file lets you easily start from that point and play the media for your audience.
Here is a bookmark that shows where to trim the beginning of an audio clip:
Add a bookmark
-
On the slide, click the video or audio clip.
-
In the audio or video controls below the clip, click Play.
-
When you reach the point where you want to make the cut, click Pause.
If you need to fine-tune the position on the time line, use the Move Backward and Move Forward arrows:
-
On the ribbon, select the Playback tab, then select Add Bookmark.
-
Repeat steps 2–4 as needed to add more bookmarks.
Bookmarks appear as circles on the time line: The currently selected bookmark is colored yellow, while other bookmarks are white:
