Seamless Video behind a collection of Slides?

[Xenofex2]

How to Put a Seamless Video Behind Your Slides – Lin’s excellent video in ‘Tutorials and Video Lessons’ section of this Forum. Watching it has made us start thinking as to how I could use it for one of my own a/v’s and have been wondering ……

a1) -    Is it the same technique if putting a video behind a random collection of slides? (and thus NOT behind a Slide Style as in this Tutorial.)

b2) -  Where the background video clip is longer than one’s slides in the foreground, does the video then come to an abrupt halt or continue to play?

Hi George,

Yes, the technique is the same - it doesn't matter whether you used a style or styles or none. Just put in the video as a master where you want it to first appear in the background, then copy that from the Objects and Animations and paste to each subsequent slide.

If the background video clip is longer than the total length of the slides, it would stop when the slides end. If you have the Pro version you can, if you like, mute the video then add it as an audio and totally control the sound from the waveform on the timeline. Otherwise you can set a different total time and a fade out when you like in the Project Options, Audio section.

Best regards,

Lin
