Slides Over Movie?

I am creating a presentation that includes a movie. The
movie plays fine but I would like to show other images
during the movie.

For instance, there is a part of the movie when I
introduce corporate employees. I would like to show the
employees pictures in the corner of the screen while I
explain who they are & what they do. It looks like I can
do this in custom animation but the employee picture
never shows up.

Thanks in advance.

Are you trying to place the picture over the active video?
PowerPoint can't handle any objects on top of a playing
video yet. If so, you will need to leave space on
the slide to allow for the video window and any other
elements needed to show outside of the video window......TD
 
Can Producer do this?

Hello Mark,

PowerPoint does not have the capability to display anything in front of a
playing movie (movies will always plays in front regardless of their
z-order position in the slide when edited).

If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly that some kind
feature for allowing other slide contents to be displayed in front of
playing movies, don't forget to send your feedback to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also why it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).

I too am interested in this feature. We are currently using PP to display song lyrics to our church congregation of 3000 people. We'd like to add moving backgrounds to the slides with either animated loops, or downloaded video. Ideally, multiple, sequential backgrounds could be used within a presentation. For example, background A would run continuously under slides 1-10, and background B would run continouosly under slides 11-15...

Thanks for your feed back on this presentation idea.

Regards,
Mickie
 
Mickie,
I hope that if you need this feature, you will send in a wish. Product
support doesn't have a way to count these requests as weight for wishes, so
wishes need to be sent in :)

I've always been puzzled by the statement that movies play in front of
everything else. This isn't right - the cursor can appear in front of a
playing movie.

So why can't other things?
