best way to play .wmv file in pp?

G

Gregory Wilker

Hey everyone,

I would like to play a windows media video file in a pp slide presentation.
Right now, there is a black box that begins playing when a person mouse
clicks. Is there a wiser way to do this that will have a cleaner
presentation look & feel? (Can I cover it with a graphic that slides away to
play the video?)

I'm using Power Point 2000.

TIA,
Greg

One thing you can do is place a graphic (or .jpg of the background) over the
movie "box." Because all multimedia elements play on top of anything else,
the move will appear on top of the image covering it as soon as it begins to
play.

Another option is to animate the movie onto the slide. Apply a 'box-out' or
'random bars' animation to bring the movie onto the slide.
