Very easy to accomplish.
- Insert video and set its playback controls.
- Go to SLIDE TRANSITION and set automatic transition for 3 seconds (or
anytime AFTER video has full begun to play)
- Slide will cycle through all animations and effects (including video
playback) and then automatically advance slide

- Note: movie cannot be set to LOOP because then the animation does not end
and the slide transition cannot occur automatically
- Tip: for a professional effect I generally insert a small autoshape (ie.
rectangle) OFF THE ACTIVE SLIDE (so it will not be seen during playback) and
set it to BOX OUT - SLOW - AFTER PREVIOUS. This way your movie will play,
when it ends instead of an immediate and harsh end to the slide it will sit
static on the slide for just one second longer (while the animation occurs
off screen) and then transition to the next slide.
