When I insert a wmv movie into Power Point 07, any text in the movie title
itself has a shadow below it. Sometimes the shadow is a different color from
the text. The shadow disappears when the movie starts. The first frame of
the wmv movie itself looks OK. Something is happening to the first frame of
the movie that PowerPoint grabs and puts into the presentation. It looks
like there is a shadow image that is shifted down about 10% of the frame
size. Older presentations look OK.

Is this happening with this video only?

Any of the wmv videos I try to insert have this problem now. I have inserted
many videos in the past without a problem. The problem may not be just with
the text having a shadow, but the text shows up more, as it is a contrastiing
color. It seems that there is a shadow image that is shifted down aboubt 10%
from the top if the first frame. I have tried to make sure no shadow effect
is selected In PPT.

I just tried to insert the original avi file--same problem. I use the wmv
files because they are smaller. So the problem is not with wmv. It is how
PPT is capturing the first frame.
Thanks...John
