Using video clips in powerpoint

[Guest]

How do I keep the test on top of the video while it plays continuously?

Hi,

Text will always drop to the background. I think it is because PowerPoint
hands the music over to the operating system to play, and it jumps to the
top of everything else.

Video clips will always be on top. Hence, you can't place a text or objects
over a video.

Here's a possible workaround with OfficeOne Add-in:
"Show text over video"

As above video will always be "on top"

One workaround is to put the text IN the video. If you have FLASH its
fairly simple to import a video and put text on a separate layer. Then embed
the SWF file in powerpoint.
