Powerpoint Video Link Refresh

[clairew]

I have created a powerpoint presentation with video clips (avi
files)inserted so the video runs from powerpoint. I now need to move
the presentation file to other computers. Is there a way to refresh the
links to the avi files now that the path to the linked avi files will
change? The only way I can figure to do it is to re-insert the clips
for each slide containing them, a tedious process. The avi files are
also very large, so "Packaging for CD" is problem.

When linking video files in a PPT, alway store the PPT and video files in
single folder. That way, you can move the folder instead of individual files,
and eliminate the need to re-insert.

Our free FixLinks demo will help you work out whether you need to worry about
it. If the links were correctly inserted, they won't include a full path, just
the file name, and won't break when you move the files and AVIs to another
folder. It'll also help you locate any movies with problem links.
