While all of our plans currently offer the ability to embed YouTube, Vimeo, and Loom videos, you may want to use videos that are not posted anywhere online. If you are part of a workspace on one of our paid plans, we offer the option to upload your videos directly from your computer. Here’s how to upload your video to a presentation:
Click the Media icon in the editor toolbar and select Upload media.
2. Choose the video file from your computer.
3. Click Open
You can also drag your video file into Pitch directly from your computer. Even better, you can upload multiple files at the same time when you drag and drop. You can upload up to ten videos per slide, and there is no limit to the number of videos that can be uploaded to a single presentation. An indicator in the top right-hand corner of the editor will let you know your video is being uploaded.
Once your video is uploaded, you can use the bars on the sides of the video to adjust the height and width, and the inline editor to adjust playback.
The following can also be enabled and adjusted in the design panel:
Autoplay
Loop
Mute
Filters
Opacity
Blur effect
Rounded corners
Overlay
Shadow
💡 Due to security reasons, Pitch cannot start auto-playing videos that contain sounds before someone interacts with the page. A workaround to ensure that the videos autoplay on the first slide is to set the first video to mute.
Video formats we support:
.3gp
.avi
.flv
.mov
.mp4
.ogg
.webm
.wmv
Edit videos in a presentation
Replace thumbnail: Play a video to the thumbnail you want to display and then select Use current frame.
Replace video: Click on Replace on the top left-hand corner of the video to swap out content. The original video’s position and design options like shadow and rounded corners will be saved.
Trim: Select your video, open the design panel, and select Trim video from the playback section. Now, drag the handles to the desired start and end time, and click Done. You can recover the full video at any time by trimming it again.
Crop: Select a video and click on Crop in the inline editor or double-click. Then use the zoom slider and handles around the video to crop it.
Save videos to the library
If you'd like to use an uploaded video multiple times across presentations, save videos (and images) directly to your workspace library.
Use library videos in your presentations
Open any presentation.
Go to the Media menu and then navigate to the section titled Library.
Search for your video. If you have sorted your videos into collections, the collections will also appear here.
Click on a video to add it to the editor.
💡 To make sure you can successfully upload your video, please make sure the file size is under 5GB and the length of the video is at least 2 seconds.
