how do you crop (not resize) a movie in power point?

[Jeff]

I have two small .avi files I would like to add to my power point 2007
presentation. The problem is that there is some sensitive information at the
very top of the movies that I would like to omit from the presentation.

I can crop the movie image while working on the presentation, but when I
play the presentation, the movie is simply compressed to that size, leaving
the sensitive information visible. I have also tried to block the
information with an object, but again, when I click on the movie during the
presentation to start and stop, the movie comes forward, leaving the
information visible.

If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

Can't be done as standard in 2007 AFAIK.

Pretty sure PFCPro can do it though or of course a video editor. PFCPro
iosn't free but I think there's a 14 day trial.

Have you tried 2010?
Or you can use Movie Maker
