Video for Power Point

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good cross-platform video codec that will run in PowerPoint for Mac as well as PowerPoint for PC? Client wants to embed a video clip into a PowerPoint that will run on both Mac and PC.
.mov and .wmv are out of the question. I usually use MPG-1 for cross-platform video... does that sound about right to you?
Thanks in advance for your help -- Jerry

I convert .mov's to AVI before putting in PPT. The conversion isn't great though - hopefully there is a better choice.

  • How can you convert and use a youtube video in power point presentation?

    Is there an easy way to use a youtube video in power point presentation?  I have 2012 Macbook Pro running OSX 10.9.2 - Thanks!

    See if this helps I use keynote for moving background in loop all the time.
    in Keynote click view and bring up the inspector box. select the movie in keynote you want to effect first, and on the inspector panel you will see a repeat feature under the quicktime icon tab.
    Hope that helps

  • Correct dimensions for Power POint Slides

    What would you all recommend for dimensions for Power Point slides so that they fill up the screen
    with no border. My customer is cramming too much text on each slide and it is beyond title safe, going to near edge of TV screen upon viewing.
    I have sequences that are both 16 x9 (720 x 480) and 4 x3 .
    Thanks,
    Al

    I agree with that much text it is not looking good on the TV that I am testing it on. On computer it is better. I thought about the color layer below the slide but the design of the slide has 2 color boxes, (one horizontal, one vertical) on it and putting a layer below doesn't look good so far.
    I am probably going to have to edit each slide and shrink the font and increase the borders.
    I am talking to the admin who made them today.
    A bigger problem is that they have trouble playing the DVD's I make with iDVD in their PC environment. The DVD's either play jerkily or not at all compounded by the fact that the people have lost all the remotes to their DVD players and can't pick a chapter. So I am trying to come up with work around.
    Thanks for response,
    Al

  • 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.

  • Using Apple Remote for Power Point

    Is it possible to use the Apple Remote (that comes with IR iMac G5s) to control & scroll through Power Point presentation files on my iMac? If so, is it necessary to link that file through Front Row (of which none of the current choices include Power Point, the closest thing being choosing iPhoto a choosing an existing slide show)

    I've never tried it.
    Suggest that you cross-post over in the Front Row Forums where the majority of the FR users hang out.

  • Images for Power Point

    What size do you make photos to place in Power Point?

    Nobody can know. You have not provided any system information, details about your files, their locations, what your actions do and a gigazillion other things. That being said, there could be equally a gigazillion things triggering such alerts like files being blocked by virus scanners or whatever or simple performance issues on your storage devices causing so much delay that the script wrongly thinks that something didn't work.

  • Aesthetic standards for power point on ItunesU

    Does anyone know if apple has a document or webpage that has the aesthetic qualities that should be reflected in a powerpoint if its expected to be viewable on an ipod? i.e.; 24 point font, high contrast colors, etc?
    Thanks mucho,
    Michell

    I believe PowerPoint will also accept AVI files. If you want to export the program to WMV format, you'll need flip4mac or Popwire's plugin. For MPEG-1 or AVI formats, you should be able to export directly in QuickTime or in FCP. You can also use a program like Sorenson Squeeze or Cleaner.

  • Is there any program in the Creative Cloud I can use as an alternative for Power Point?

    I need to make a powerpoint presentation and I was wondering if any of the Apps in the Creative Cloud work efficiently for this?

    Not really. The Adobe equivalent would be Captivate and it's not part of CC. Depending on what you need, you could creatively use Edge Animate, Flash or Muse to build a web-based slideshow and run it in fullscreen, though.

  • Transparent background for power point

    Hello All,  I want to include a picture of the earth from space in a powerpoint presentation.  I cropped it to a circle in PSE and saved it as a tiff as I want there to be no visible background.  When I insert the photo into powerpoint, it's on a clear background.
    The effect of the spinning earth on the screen is not very effective when the earth is attached to a white squre.  Does anyone know how I can get just the circle image of the globe and no background?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Thanks, I'll give that a try.

  • Power point 2004

    Hi All-
    Didn't see a forum for Power Point 2004 problems, so hope its ok to start here:
    I created a PPT presentation with mostly inserted "photos from file", then added a few QuickTime video clips, several MB's each, added some graphics here and there, and saved it all to my desktop; total size of file is now 12 MB. The problem occured when I re-started my computer, after being in sleep mode only, the entire time during creation of the file.....when I tried to open my ppt presentation I received an error message that states 'Can not open file because file is either corrupt, in use, or in a format that PPT doesn't recognize.'
    I've tried opening it by dbl-clicking on icon, holding down CTRL + click and OPEN WITH, and have also tried OPEN from the FILE menu within PPT, and all with the same error message. Also tried from the MOST RECENT list.
    If I put it on the 'Network' at work and try to open it on a co-workers PC, will that work? and if not, what else can I try?? This was meant to be a xmas gift to my family back home in the states!
    Thank you so much for any help you offer......

    Prana72,Welcome to Apple Discussions. There won't be a Forum for Powerpoint as these forums are for Apple made products - although you're more than welcome to discuss other items like that here.
    I've never come across a file getting corrupted whilst sat on the desktop it sounds very like this has actually happened. I would try opening it with another version of Powerpoint. Have you set Office to create back-up files of everything (perhaps you should in future?).
    I would also open Applications > Utilites > Disk Utility and click 'Repair Permissions'.

  • ." .PPS" - MS Power Point attachment to an Email

    To clarify my previous question dated 05.11.2010:
    I use Gmail account on my IPAD [3G type]. Receiving an E-mails with an attachment having the suffix of * .pps * for Power Point file, I tap the attachment, timer srart cycling but files are not openned. What should I do to open such files?
    I'll appriciate directions for the solution.

    That file type is not listed as being supported by the iPad's native mail program. It may be able to b opened in an app such as GoodReader. Also, I think others have said that if the sender changes the file extension to ,ppt it should open in the native mail app.
    Mail attachment support
