Newbie question on playing movies
This is Powerpoint 2002 on WinXP Pro Sp2.
I have 4 Windows movie files I want to play sequentially, wrapped in a PPT automated presentation. Thus far I have one movie per slide. I have explored all the settings for playing movies but cannot get powerpoint to move to the next slide once the movie finishes without clicking. Am I attempting the impossible? TIA Geoff |

Re: Newbie question on playing movies
Have you set your slide to "advance after xxx seconds"?

Re: Newbie question on playing movies
Then you need to set the time a few seconds longer than the video duration.

Good answer, I had thought of that previously but was searching for a more automated method. But no problem, I guess I'll do that. thanks again GBH "Austin Myers" <austinm@grm.net> wrote in message news:eeqIU11cFHA.3932@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... > Then you need to set the time a few seconds longer than the video > duration. > > > Austin Myers > MS PowerPoint MVP Team > > Solutions to Multimedia in PowerPoint www.pfcmedia.com > > > > > "GBH" <geoff.hamilton1@NOSPAMTHANXntlworld.com> wrote in message > news:gVCse.21853$m4.17350@newsfe3-gui.ntli.net... >> Austin >> appreciate the quick response! >> Yes, tried that, and it cuts the movie at the xxx seconds mark .... >> >> Geoff >> >> "Austin Myers" <austinm@grm.net> wrote in message >> news:eQ6G4f1cFHA.2288@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... >> > Have you set your slide to "advance after xxx seconds"? >> > >> > Austin Myers >> > MS PowerPoint MVP Team >> > >> > Solutions to Multimedia in PowerPoint www.pfcmedia.com >> > >> > >> > "GBH" <geoff.hamilton1@NOSPAMTHANXntlworld.com> wrote in message >> > news:fDCse.21794$m4.5101@newsfe3-gui.ntli.net... >> >> This is Powerpoint 2002 on WinXP Pro Sp2. >> >> >> >> I have 4 Windows movie files I want to play sequentially, wrapped in a >> >> PPT >> >> automated presentation.

Re: Newbie question on playing movies

I stand corrected ... setting the slide advance DOES advance xxx seconds AFTER the movie finishes. I think I got myself into a knot by using ultra short clips whilst testing ......

Re: Newbie question on playing movies
If you want to make it behave more along the lines of what I think you are
after here is another method. Assuming you have a video clip of say 60 seconds on the slide and it plays automatically. Create an object (doesn't really mater what, lets say a circle) and it to "Appear" "After Previous" with a time of zero seconds. That means it will appear immediately after the video is done playing. Now set the outline and fill of the object (circle?) to invisible (none). Next step is to set the slide transition to advance automatically after zero seconds. Sounds goofy I know so let me walk you through how it works. The slide can't transition untill all appear animations for objects have happened. The appear animation can't happen until the video is done playing. Once both are completed the transition happens zero seconds after the object has appeared (even though you don't see it.) The advantage of this is that your transition to the next slide will happen *almost* instantly after the video plays regardless of the machine the presentation is played on or video length.
