Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / December 2005PowerPoint Movies won't play animations
I am using Microsoft Office 2001 on a Mac with OS9.1 I have inserted .avi movies and animated gifs into my presentation. The slide show works fine, but when I use the "Make a Movie" command and play the quicktime (version 6.0.3) movie the animated gifs don't animate and the avi movie just flashes on the screen and it jumps to the next slide even though I have given it 5 seconds to play. Then when I export that movie.mov to an .avi (so it will play on windows) the movie skips the slides with the avi movies imbedded. What am I doing wrong and does anyone have any suggestios? TIA Bob > I am using Microsoft Office 2001 on a Mac with OS9.1 I have inserted .avi > movies and animated gifs into my presentation.

Most shape animations map to fly from left, for example. Inserted movies should still play "movie within movie," so the "flashing" thing shouldn't happen. If you create a new presentation, insert a movie, then save that as movie, does the same thing happen? Hi Buck, Yes, it does. I inserted another movie and that one plays fine in the .mov file, so I believe that it is a setting in the original .avi file that is at fault here. The other problem is that animated gifs won't play in the movie. Is there a solution to that? TIA.

Unfortunately not - AGIFs will not play in Saved PPT movies. |
