Movies and sound
Note
On UNIX systems, the Media Player requires the Java Media
Framework API (JMF). Download and install the JMF files, and
add the path to the installed jmf.jar to the class path in Tools >
Options > OpenOffice.org > Java.
To insert a movie clip or a sound into a presentation, select Insert >
Movie and Sound. Select the media file to insert from the dialog box,
to place the object on the slide.
To insert media clips directly from the Gallery:
1) If not already open, open the Gallery by selecting Tools >
Gallery.
2) Browse to the Theme containing media files (for example the
Sounds theme).
3) Click on the movie or sound to be inserted and drag it into the
slide area.
The Media Playback toolbar (Figure 128) is automatically opened (by
default, at the bottom of the screen, just above the Drawing toolbar; it
can also be made floating). You can preview the media object as well as
resize it. If the toolbar does not open, select View > Media Playback.
