Export Movie from Powerpoint to file

[Guest]

Hi there,
I am trying to export the content of a PPT presentation and managed to
export picture and sound shapes using the Shape.Export and
Shape.SoundFormat.Export methods. However, there are no supported video
formats in the export methods above. If I try a picture format, only the
first frame exports.
Could you please provide a working code example or a workaround for Movie
shapes.

Thanks in advance,

As the movie is never embedded (it's linked) there is no reason to have an
export feature.

Hi Austin,

Thanks for your prompt reply. Indeed the movie is never embedded, however I
am still stuck with the problem of getting the location of the linked file.
Do you know how I can access the linked file or gets its location using VBA?

Thanks again,

Ivo

Right click the video and select properties. There you will see the
path/name of the file.

Austin's method is simplest if you just need to see the path. If you need to
change it, have a look here:
