Working With Graphics and Other Media

Including Sound and Movies

You can add sound, movies, and Flash files to your document if it will be viewed

onscreen as an HTML file or a Pages file. The movie or sound file will play when the

viewer double-clicks its icon on a document page.

Pages accepts any QuickTime or iTunes file type, including the following:

 MOV

 FLASH

 MP3

 MP4

 AIFF

 AAC

Important: When you add a media file to a document, the file does not become part

of the Pages document. If you transfer your document to another computer without

also transferring the media file, it won’t appear in the document. Be sure to transfer all

media files to the computer or server from which the document will be viewed, or

include them when saving your document. (In the Save dialog, click the disclosure

triangle to the right of the Save field, and then select the checkbox labeled “Copy

audio and movies into document.”)

Adjusting Media Playback Settings

In the QuickTime Inspector, you can set the playback volume for sound and movies in

your document, and specify whether to play media files only once through, or repeat

continuously.

To set media playback preferences:

1

Choose View > Show Inspector (or click Inspector in the toolbar).

2

Click the QuickTime Inspector button.

3

Click the movie to select it, then drag the Volume slider to the right to increase the

playback volume or to the left to decrease it.
