Inserting a video into Power Point Slide

I am using Power Point 2011 version 14.4.5 on my MacBook Air with OSX 10.9.5.  When I insert a video clip (mp4) into a new slide it plays fine but when I close the reopen the file it is a picture of the first frame and I can't play it.

What version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running? What version of PowerPoint do you have? Background information for now.
A prel file is the project file for a Premiere Elements project. It is not a video file that can be imported into non supported software.
You cannot even open a Premiere Elements project prel in another project.prel.
You can create a Timeline in a Premiere Elements project and export that Timeline to a  file saved to a format that is compatible with PowerPoint.
And, then you Insert/Video that file into your PowerPoint presentation. With Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, this seems to be what is supported video-wise
Please review, and then let us know if you need clarification on any of the above.
Thanks.

  • Can't embed a Captivate video (swf) into Power Point 2007

    I am trying to embed an Adobe Captivate video (swf) into power Point 2007. I very carefully followed all the steps outlined from a search I did on the web and it is not working.
    These are the steps I followed:
    1. Create a simulation using Adobe Captivate and publish it as a SWF file.
    2. Open the PowerPoint presentation and insert a blank slide for adding simulation.
    3. We need to work with the Developer tab now. If you can't see it in the ribbon, follow these steps to make it visible.
    (steps to get developer)
    4.On the developer tab, in the Controls group, click More Controls
    5. In the list of controls, click Shockwave Flash Object and click OK.
    6. Drag diagonally to create a box in which the simulation would appear. Don't worry about sizing it accurately; you can adjust it later as well.
    7. Right click the Shockwave Flash Object, and then click Properties.
    8. On the Alphbetic tab, click the Movie property. In the value columnm type the full drive path, including the file name.
    9. Set the Playing property to true, Loop to false and Embed Movie to true.
    10. Close the Properties dialog and test the movie.
    The simulation will now play in your PowerPoint presentation.
    Note: If during the slideshow,t he simulation doesn't play automatically, right-click and select Play.
    I followed these steps, and it is just not working. I go to play my power point presentation and set it to play from the beginning, and when it gets to the slide with the swf file, I just get a faded out still picture of the video, and it will not play.  If someone has had luck with embedding swf files from Captivate into Power Point, please let me know how you did it.   Thanks.

    Thanks, I really appreciate the information. The only problem is that I have to keep it as a power point presentation.   I convert from ppt to a video, so I need to keep it as power point.
    I found these steps on the internet and followed them exactly, and went through the steps 3 times, to make sure I wasn't leaving anything out, and it just didn't work. I have a tech guy who's supposed to call me today regarding this issue, and hopefully he'll be able to go through it with me step by step to try and work it out.
    Ultimately, these are going to be training videos that are going to be set up on a website, so they ultimately have to be saved as videos. 
    I'm keep trying to figure it out though.
    Thanks.

  • Importing Power Point Slides into FCE

    Hey all,
    Have a project where I need to use a customer's power point slides in the finished video. Can I import them someway? Or maybe import into Live Type????
    Trying to avoid having to type all of them.
    Thanks,
    Al

    You can save a PowerPoint slideshow in many ways.
    One possibility is to export a set of images with the format you like: jpeg, tiff, png, etc.: make sure to select the correct DPI (as defined in PPT) in the Options of the save as dialog. For example 180 dpi make a standard slide of 1800x1350 pixels that might fit well in standard DV sequences (default 72 dpi makes a low quality 720x540 image).
    A second possibility is to export a movie; also in this case you can choose some parameters like the size of the frame. The default codec is Animation that is good, but requires a conversion of the movie in order to properly import it to FCE.

  • I cannot import Power Point slides into my presentation...

    Hello, have created brand new project with Captivate 7 and tried to import a Power Point slide I made seconds earlier, and I get an error message.  I tried the same with a new project in Captivate 6 (I have 6 and 7) and I get the same message.  See image.  Power Point was closed when I tried to import it.  Any ideas what could possibly be happening?
    Thanks for any help!!!

    As per the Captivate 7 manual:
    1. In an open project, Select File > Import > PowerPoint Slides.
    2. Navigate to and select the PowerPoint presentation file format that you want to import.
    3. Click Open.
    4. Decide where to place the imported PowerPoint slides in the Adobe Captivate project. Add the slides to the end of the project, or click a slide in the list and add the PowerPoint slides after that slide.
    5. Click OK.
    6. In the Convert PowerPoint Presentations dialog box, do the following:
    a. Select the PowerPoint slides to convert to Adobe Captivate project slides.
    b. Set navigation preferences for the selected slides.
    c. If you want to link to the PowerPoint presentation, select Linked. If you want to embed the PowerPoint presentation, deselect Linked.
    7. Click OK.
    The PowerPoint slides are imported into the Adobe Captivate project and they appear in the designated location. If necessary, you can change the order of the slides.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can anyone tell me how to insert a short video into a Keynote slide presentation?

    Can anyone tell me how to insert a short  (20 sec) video into a Keynote slide presentation?

    Gary, thank you for responding:
    1) I know my "profile" indicates I'm on Mountain Lion.  I have not figured out how to update that.  I am using Yosemite and Keynote Version 6.5.2 on a 15" Macbook-Pro  (tell me how to update my profile, please - nothing I click on opens any kind of "edit" options)
    2) My 20 sec video does play in Quicktime.  I find nothing in the Quicktime Inspector about deselecting "start movie on click."
    3) in my slide presentation I can insert the video on a slide okay and if I click on it can get it to play, But I cannot seem to get it to play after a transition automatically.  Maybe it cannot be done.  Obviously I would like the entire presentation to play automatically without clicking on or between slides.
    Again, thank you for you kind help!

  • Error importing a power point slide into Captivate 4 project

    I am trying to add a Power Point slide to an existing project.  I am using Power Point 2007 and Captivate 4.  When I try to insert a Power Point slide, I get the following message:
    Error Message:  Unable to load nsImportPPT.dll(999)
    Can anyone help with this issue.  Thanks!

    Hi,
    nsImportPPT.dll is an "Adobe Captivate 4" dll and should be present in the "Adobe Captivate 4" installation directory (which is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4" by default). Please check if this file exists there.
    I think 999 error comes when the DLL is not found. Try Re-Installing your Adobe Captivate 4.

  • Change  advance on power  point slide  after import

    How  do I change a power point slide that was imported to advance on click but I want the slides to advance automatically? 

    Hello,
    Watch the imported slides, they all have a Click Box inserted at the end of the timeline (see screenshot in the red rectangle). Delete that click box and the slide will advanced automatically.

  • Power point slides not showing

    I have a rather odd problem. I've got a lengthy pdf which I converted to jpg's. I pasted those jpg's into power point into and then imported the pptx into Captivate 6. All the slides import but only the first 2 jpg's are visible. All of the other slides are blank. I know there's an easier way to do it, by converting the pdf to a pptx, and then import to captivate, but the pdf is mostly text and the text gets jumbled during the conversion. I'm just curious as to why the jpg's are not coming into captivate. And btw, I've also tried it using png's.

    If you already have JPG images, why not simply use Captivate's ability to create a Slide Show and just create a project and point at the images?
    Cheers... Rick

  • Power Point Slides Change Color After Importing

    I built a lot of training material (22 Captivate
    modules/movies)- Power Point slides for text, mixed with software
    simulations. Several of the modules need updating, however, since
    we upgraded from Office XP to Office 2007, I have been unsuccesful
    in importing the edited Power Point slides. Instead of the gradient
    pale-blue background with black text (as it appears in my Captivate
    movies as well as in Power Point) the moment you choose your slides
    to import into Captivate, they become purple with teal text. I had
    a co-worker access my files on a share drive and attempt it on her
    machine, with the same result.
    Anyone else having Captivate anomolies after upgrading to
    Office 2007?

    I have also had inconsistent results with PowerPoint imports
    in both Captivate 1 and 2. There seem to be less in version 2. The
    problem that I have been experiencing is with fonts. I will have a
    slide that clearly is within the frame in PowerPoint, but when
    imported into Captivate flows off the bottom of the slide. This is
    also incosistent from slide to slide. Here's what I have been
    doing. It's isn't ideal, but hopefully time will get this issued
    ironed out.
    1) I go through my normal import procedures for PowerPoint
    presentations by look closely at the thumbnails provided before the
    final import. If it looks like there is going to be a problem, then
    I bail out at this point.
    2) I go back into PowerPoint, call up my presentation, and
    the do a File > Save As> and then select the file type at the
    bottom as JPEG. It will then ask you if you want to save all. I put
    them in another directory and PowerPoint saves each slide image as
    an individual JPEG image.
    3) I go back to Captivate and import these as images in the
    file creation sequence.
    This usually results in a pretty clean set of slide.
    Hope this helps.

  • Import power point slides

    Hi,
    I did a lot of internet research on this topic but couldn't solve it yet. Hope one of you can help with that issue.
    The problem is that when I save a power point slide as an image file (bmp, jpg, png) and import it to indesign the image quality is getting bad. After resizing the picture the quality is at the worse.
    Same problem occurs when I resize the image with an other software. Then the quality of the image is also very bad.
    Has anyone an idea how to solve that?
    greets tim

    Thanks for your reply.
    I tried this already and It's the same problem. PDF quality is perfect - when I import it into indesign it's getting worse.

  • Importing Power Point  slides

    I have been trying to resolve this for the past two weeks. I
    have been successfully importing Power Point slides into Captivate
    1 for the last year. Although have not done anything different,
    Captivate is no longer importing the jpg logo (height 0.58" width
    1" displays top right corner) on the PP slide . Everything but the
    logo is displayed in Captivate. The logo is on the Slide Master . I
    replaced the Slide Master, copied the logo onto each individual PP
    slide and recreated the entire power point presentation without any
    success. Can anyone provide a cause and resolution? Thanks.

    in both Captivate 1 and 2. There seem to be less in version 2. The

  • Cropping web images to paste into power point

    I have a web image that I would like to crop using photoshop elements, and paste into power point with out a background.
    I used the magnetic lasso tool to out line the crop area, select cut, and when I paste it into power point, a rectangular background comes with it. How can I paste just the selected area?

    It is probably a format thing
    Jpegs do not have transparency. That is probably what you are using.
    Gifs have transparency. I think Tiffs and PNGs do also.
    Try one of those.
    I just noticed you used copy>paste
    Maybe you should try insert>picture>from file.
    If you can't get this to work, try matching the power point background in PSE. That will give you the illusion of transparency.

  • Embed dynamic smart view report into power point

    Hello All.
    can amyone help with How to Embed dynamic smart view report into power point
    Thanks.

    Have you tried dragging and dropping onto a ppt slide? I just did and showed up sheet one of the workbook. If you have many sheets in the workbook and want to show a particular sheet/data, you may want to save workbook with that sheet visible when you reopen. One thing I have not checked is dynamic content of the worksheet.

    Open the PowerPoint in Keynote. Make sure there aren't any significant problems like missing fonts or badly reflowed text. Using the Document tab of the Inspector, change the size to 1920x1080 or 1280x720 as appropriate.
    Generally, Keynote will do a good job. Objects move without stretching and text boxes expand to fill the space. Background images may stretch; check each slide to be sure.
    Finally, export the whole thing to still images, or a QuickTime movie if you want fancy transitions.
