overlay text on top of motion backgrounds

Which appropriate Powerpoint video plug is required to overlay text on top
of motion backgrounds.

Does the new Powerpoint 2007 support this ?

No, PPT 2007 doesn't support this either.

You can use Chirag Dalal's Transparent Show and PowerShow
http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/tips_text_over_video.html

Or Instant Effects Office FX Pro http://www.instanteffects.com/

Or Crystal Graphics Power Plugs Video Background Player (I can't find this
on the CG site anymore, though! )
http://www.animationsforvideo.com/html/powerpoint__video_backgrounds.htm
(This text calls it "digital hotcakes power plugs," even though the
screenshot of the CD case still says Crystal Graphics. Hm. CG must have sold
the product.)

 

[Silvester]

I cannot believe how far Microsoft Powerpoint has lagged in this one area.
If MS is monitoring this, YOUR USERS WANT THIS FEATURE !

If digital hotcakes power plugs can author this feature, why can't Microsoft
? I say include it in Office 2007 and keep it open for VBA manipulation...

Thanks !

I have spent days searching for this information. I cannot believe Microsoft
has not addressed this problem. We just purchased Easy Worship at our church
along with over 500 motion backgrounds. We need desperately to be able to run
text in front of the backgrounds (words to the songs). With this being such a
popular program in churches I am suprised Microsoft hasn't done their
homework.

And I think the Easy Worship people should tell users they can't put text on
top of the motion backgrounds.

Sue,

I'm confused. Are you wanting to use the software 'easy worship' with motion
backgrounds

or are you wanting to use powerpoint with motion backgrounds?

As according to the easy worship website....

===
Does EasyWorship support video backgrounds? What video formats are
supported?
EasyWorship can display moving video backgrounds with text overlay.
EasyWorship comes with 100 backgrounds, 21 of which are video looping
backgrounds. To display a song with a video background, simply select a
song, select a video background and click Go Live. You can also assign a
video background to a song in the database. EasyWorship will play any media
format that Windows Media Player supports, including MPEG 1, MPEG 2, WMF and
AVI. (The next version of EasyWorship will add .mov, Flash and .vob
formats.)

Ah, in that case, PPT wouldn't even come into the equation. But I'm glad you
posted this, TAJ -- I totally misunderstood what Sue was saying.
