Insert Audio and Video into PowerPoint slides using Java

We often need to create PowerPoint presentations for work, study or other reasons. Actually, in the media-rich world where we live, presentations are no longer a simple series of slides filled with text and pictures, and we can also insert video and audio into them. This tutorial will show you how it is done using Java codes with the help of a free third-party library called Free Spire.Presentation for Java.

DEPENDENCY

First of all, we need to add a Jar file called Spire.Presentation.jar to IDEA. There are two methods to do it.

Method One: Download the package of the free library from the link, find Spire.Presentation.jar in the “lib” folder and then manually add it to IDEA.

Method Two: Create a Maven project in IDEA, type the following codes in the pom.xml file and finally click the button “import changes”.

        //add a shape to the first slide
        Rectangle2D.Double labelRect= new Rectangle2D.Double(50, 120, 100, 50);
        IAutoShape labelShape = presentation.getSlides().get(0).getShapes().appendShape(ShapeType.RECTANGLE, labelRect);
        labelShape.getLine().setFillType(FillFormatType.NONE);
        labelShape.getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.NONE);
        labelShape.getTextFrame().setText("Audio:");
        labelShape.getTextFrame().getTextRange().setFontHeight(28);
        labelShape.getTextFrame().getTextRange().setLatinFont(new TextFont("Myriad Pro Light"));
        labelShape.getTextFrame().getTextRange().getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.SOLID);
        labelShape.getTextFrame().getTextRange().getFill().getSolidColor().setColor(Color.BLACK);

        //append an audio file to the slide
        Rectangle2D.Double audioRect = new Rectangle2D.Double(170, 120, 50, 50);
        presentation.getSlides().get(0).getShapes().appendAudioMedia((new java.io.File("C:\\Users\\Test1\\Desktop\\Music.wav")).getAbsolutePath(), audioRect);

        //save to file
        presentation.saveToFile("output/InsertAudio.pptx", FileFormat.PPTX_2010);
        presentation.dispose();
    }
}
