MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2007Video in PPT 2003?
Hello, I am trying to show a very short video clip on one slide in my PPT 2003 presentation. The first scene flashes up, then nothing. All I get is a gray background for severl seconds. Any ideas or advice? THANKS! Mommio Hi Put the video in the same folder as the ppt then re-insert. If that doesn't work, the file path to the folder may be too long so try putting a folder directly on your C drive (so it's C:\<folder> rather than C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Presentations\My funky presentation with video in it) Lucy  SignatureMOS Master Instructor www.aneasiertomorrow.com.au PowerPoint Live 2007 28-31 October in New Orleans www.pptlive.com See you there > Hello, I am trying to show a very short video clip on one slide in my PPT > 2003 presentation.
