Video Backgrounds

[danieltrent0]

Hi everyone,

I am a multimedia tech for my church. I am responsible for operating
the sound board as well as create and control PowerPoint presentations
for our worship and service. Well I recently went to fresno CA for a
Christian Mens Gathering.

While arriving at the stadium I was in awe with the multimedia
screens. The effects and presentation I saw made me want to implement
that presentation energy in our church.

My question is simply how do they show those "Video Background"
effects in real time using PowerPoint?
I searched online and there is some pretty cool software that helps
with that feature. But if its all achievable using PowerPoint I'd
rather go that route and learn how to do it.

Thanks for Any and All help!!!

Which video background effects are you talking about?

Daniel,

They may not be using powerpoint.

The few 'worship' bits of software I've come across - does include the
ability to have 'video' as a background. This is not something that
powerpoint allows - without resorting to jiggery pokery.

They may have been using Keynote on a Mac.

Hi, my church switched to MediaShout (http://www.mediashout.com) sometime
ago. It is designed specifically for worship presentations in churches. It
has many nice features including video backgrounds.
