How to Add Videos to iTunes

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is James Flint and I'm going to show you two different ways that you can add video into iTunes. The first thing we're going to show you is the drag and drop method. It's probably the simplest method, and let's take a look. We're going to launch iTunes, and I've got these files on my desktop. Mike in Falls. This is a video I shot of one of my friends at a waterfall, so I downloaded it off the camera, and now we want to get it into iTunes. So I'm going to simply click on it, drag it over to my library, and drop it in there. As you can see, this is a short video, so it copied pretty fast. Let's go into our movies folder and take a look and make sure it worked. And not the highest quality, you're getting a shot off an inexpensive digital camera, but we did successfully import it into iTunes. So let's take a look at one other method, and that would be to use our files panel. So we're going to go up to iTunes file, we'll go to import, and then from here we're going to select desktop because that's where this video is stored, I've got a file called Short Area Film Web, we'll select that, hit choose. This file is a little bit bigger 'cause it was shot on a high definition video camera. I believe it is already formatted for web, so it might be smaller than its original, but let's take a look. All right. The importing process is complete, so our movie now appears in the library. I'm going to double click on it and make sure that it imported successfully. And there we go. So that's two different ways that you can add videos into iTunes."
