Can you use movie file as a background in Powerpoint 2003?

[Guest]

I am trying to use a movie file as a background in PowerPoint 2003. Having
text in front. Been attempting but the movie clip comes to the front, hiding
pictures and text.

Any ideas?

Just a guess. - Try placing the text off screen. Then animate the text to
appear on screen after the movie has started to run.

Lincoln,

Powerpoint always plays movies / video clips on top on your content.

No, movies always stick themselves on top.

Cool. Didn't know Crystal Graphics had come out with that!

I assume that the plug-in has to be installed on the show computer, right?

Yes. Video Backgrounds Player must be installed on the show computer.
