I have to move my presentation to different computers and folders and when I
do, I cannot play my movies because I the file path has changed.
How do I instruct presentation to find its movies once it has been moved and
they are in different folders? (Edit movie object only indicates the file
path, but does not allow it to be changed)
Thank you for your help.

Best practice is to have all multimedia elements in the same folder as the
presentation, then import. When PowerPoint opens the presntation it defaults
to searching in its folder for any elements.

I highly recommend the PPTools Fix Links Pro for setting all paths to
relative paths (no path info when you go to edit >> movie). Check here for
