MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2007PowerPoint Background (Can video be used?)
Is there a way to use a live video feed as the background to a PowerPoint (probably 2000 or 2002) presentation? If not, do you know what kind of program could accomplish a similar task? I would like to use this in a church setting with live video feed of the band on the screen and the words to the music imposed over them. Short answer is no. Except I believe there are commercial add-ins out there. Another free option I've played with is the "Transparent PowerPoint" Add-in from OfficeOne - http://officeone.mvps.org/transshow/transshow.html I used then one day it just stopped, don't know why but haven't got back to it again.

Run the video feed out of one and your lyrics out of the other (white text on a black background). ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ The PowerPoint option is to use the OfficeFX add-in (www.instant-effects.com). You can insert a video background and provided you have the proper equipment to route video to specified source. This option is not the most economical or technolically simple - but the results are fantastic. Second option, and most common, is to run the PowerPoint as high-contrast presentation with background being a solid green. The background can be then be chrome keyed out with a video mixer so it only shows the non-green text over the second signal, which would be your video feed of the band. This option just requires the PPT be prepared properly and a simple video board with ability to mix two signals.
