Swiff Point Player

PowerPoint is one of the most well known applications when it comes to creating presentations. It’s been around for a good deal of years and is still evolving in terms of what it’s capable of.

It can be used to create both simple and complex projects and allows you to insert and use a great deal of file types. At a point in time, Microsoft PowerPoint was not fitted with the ability to play Flash files and for this reason, Swiff Point Player was developed.

Swiff Point Player is a simple to use tool that was created to offer you the means to play the Flash movies that you add to your project.

It comes as a Microsoft PowerPoint add in that enables you to insert and play your Flash movies into your PowerPoint presentations. The addin is easy to install and creates an entry in the ‘Insert’ menu of the application. At this point it’s worth mentioning that the development for Swiff Point Player was stopped and its compatibility ends with PowerPoint 2003 but it still works nonetheless.

To be able to use it, you simply access it from the aforementioned location, select the Flash file you want to add to the project and once that is done all is left is to resize the clip so it fits with your slide. After that is done, a simple preview of the project should allow you to view the Flash clip.

In closing, even if it is outdated, Swiff Point Player offers a very simple and much needed feature to PowerPoint that can certainly help you enhance your presentations.
