Slide Transition with Videos

Hi,

How do you set a presentation so that it plays a video from a slide (without having to click 'Play') and then automatically moves onto the next slide with a video and not having to play?

I used to be able to do this in 2007 but I'm struggling with 2010.

Help!

RE: Slide Transition with Videos

Hi Mark

Thanks for getting in touch.

To set a video to play automatically, click on the video and choose Playback and select Automatically under Start.

There's no natural mechanism to move the slide on once the video has finished; however you can mimic this by making the slide transition after a certain length of time (for example, the length of the video clip + 1 second perhaps).

To do this, on the video slide go to Transitions and under Advance Slide check the box marked After. Enter the length of time you want to stay on this slide for. As remarked above, perhaps this could by the length of the video clip plus a few seconds.

Kind regards

That's great - thanks.

I'm sure it was a lot easier in the older version!
