When using video clip art from the powerpoint library, it works on the
slideshow fine, but when I try to burn it onto a CD, an image comes up that is
not animated (no moving). Any ideas? Thanks!
 
Hi,

By "video clip art" do you mean a movie, or animated gif. Also, when they do
not animate, what version was the material created in, and what version are
you playing back in?

Pretty sure you'll have to put the actual video clip art
on the CD as well -- as a separate file. It was the only
way I could get a recent presentation to work.

I copied the clip art and pasted it in the folder with the rest of the pps
program to be burned on the CD. The animated/video clip art still does not
work. Do I need it to be in a completely different folder then attach it to the
CD?
 
As Glen asked earlier, is this an animated GIF? If so, it won't animate
using the old PPT Viewer.

We need details from you if we're going to be able to help.

What version of PPT?

Are you creating an autorun CD? If so, are you using Pack and Go, or are you
using instructions such as you'd find at
http://www.echosvoice.com/autoruncd.htm, or are you using Package for CD (a
PPT 2003 feature)?

What version of the PPT Viewer are you using on this CD?

What is the file extension of this "animated/video clip art"?
 
Yes, this is a GIF from Microsofts Clip Art Movie Gallery.
I am using PPT 2000 with ME.
PPView32 is the version I have. I don't know if this is the new one or old
version.
I am burning the disc with autorun. From File >>Export to CD Rom (the wizard
does the rest).

Thanks
 
Ok, thanks for the details.

The GIF file will be embedded in the PPT file, so you don't have to worry
about putting the individual GIF on the CD with your presentation.

PPView32 is the old PPT Viewer. It does not support animated GIFs. Your best
solution is to convert the GIF to AVI, if indeed you are creating your
presentation on PPT 2000.
http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/autorun_giftoavi.htm has
instructions.

BUT (and this is a big but), if you have an option called File/Package for
CD, then you are creating your presentation in PowerPoint 2003. BUT (another
big but) PPT 2003 cannot be installed on Windows ME. So I can't figure out
what you're doing! Where do you see File/Export to CD?

So here's the skinny:

If you're creating in PPT 97, use the old PPT Viewer.

One "do it yourself technique" for creating autorun CDs using the old PPT
Viewer is at http://www.echosvoice.com/autoruncd.htm

If you're creating in PPT 2000, use the old PPT Viewer. The old Viewer
doesn't "do" animated GIF (among other things listed at
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00153.htm), but the easiest solution is
to convert the GIF to AVI as described in the link given above.

If you're creating in PPT 2002 (aka PPT XP), use the new PPT Viewer.

The technique for creating an autorun CD using PPT 2002 and the new Viewer
is explained at http://www.echosvoice.com/autoruncd2.htm

If you're creating in PPT 2003, use the new PPT Viewer (which was installed
when you installed PPT -- no reason to download and install it again). PPT
2003 allows you to do a File/Package for CD and include the new Viewer.
There's nothing really manual about it, but there's a quick overview at
http://www.echosvoice.com/autoruncd2.htm as well.

Forgot to mention that an AVI will *not* be included in the PPT file, so you
need to put the AVI in the same folder as your presentation, insert it into
the presentation using Insert/Movies and Sounds/Movie from File, and then be
sure to include the AVI on your CD along with your presentation.
