Reducing the Size of Media Files
Including large sound and movie les in a Pages document can make the entire
document le size very large. If you’re using only a portion of the sound or movie le
in your document can remove the unused portions of the audio or video le to make
the le smaller. You can choose either to reduce the size of individual media les or to
reduce the size of all the media les in the document that are not being used in full.
Before you reduce the movie or audio les, you must save them as part of your
document. For details about how to do this, see “Saving A Document” on page 37.
Here are ways to reduce the le size of your document:
1 To reduce the size of an individual media le in your document, select a sound or
movie le for which you have set the Start and Stop sliders to exclude some part of
the le, and then choose Format > Image > Reduce Media File Size.
2 To reduce the size of all the media les in your document, make sure no sound, movie,
or image le is selected, and then choose File > Reduce File Size.
After reducing the size of your sound or video le, you won’t be able to restore the le
to its original length or listen to or view the parts that you have excluded. To restore
the entire le, you must add the le again.
Some types of movie les may not be reducible in this way.
To learn about reducing the size of image les, see “Reducing Image File Sizes” on
page 142.
