Movies

[Guest]

I have 2 questions. First, I want to show arrows pointing to items I want to
highlight in a video. I have sent the video back and when it is not running
the arrows are visiable but when the movie starts to run the parts of the
arrows that are over the movie box are not visiable. How do I make them
stay on top of the running movie. Second questions. I am having difficulty
getting quickTime movies to show in my PowerPoint. When I insert a Qicktime
movie all I get is a black box. I do not have have this problem with .avi
movies.

regarding your first question: currently you cannot place any object on top
of a running movie.

1. Movies always play on top of PowerPoint content
2. Quicktime movies do not playback in PowerPoint on a Windows PC

For the first part on being able to show text over videos, you might want to
look at the following link:
