embedding movie clips??

[MarcoPolo]

Hi, Thanks for your time on this question.

I have a PPT 2007 file (will need to convert to PPT '03) anyway, I have a
number (10-12) 4 second clips to run automatically on specific slides during
my presentation. Is there a way to embed the video files into the PPT file so
I don't need to keep pointing to an outside folder for the program to locate
the short video clips?

This will help immensley when I send it to my sales staff, they'll lose the
file folder of the video clips when they copy the PPT presentation to their
computers.

The best practice is to place the video clip(s) in the same folder as the
presentation BEFORE inserting them in the slides. You may also want to look
at a completely free add-in (PFCExpress) I put together that does all of it
automatically when you email the presentations.

In this case it might be useful to convert the video clips (not the whole
presentation!) into Flash format. SWF files can be embedded and if they are
only 4 sec they will not make your presentation file too large.

I would use either AVS Video Converter or TechSmith's Camtasia Studio (not
natively made for this task, but as I have it installed anyhow, it proves
useful also in those cases) to convert the videos, depending on their
original file format.

Best regards,
Ute

Adobe Flash CS3 should work? Right?

If you know what you are doing Flash CS3 should work great. Some find it a
little more complex than what's really needed. Your videos are already made,
so the converters mentioned by the earlier responses might be a faster easier
solution for you.
