What are animated backgrounds?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Animated Backgrounds, or video backgrounds, are files which can be inserted into PowerPoint to be used as full screen full motion slide backgrounds.
Unlike traditional backgrounds which are typically background JPG images or graphics, or simple background colors or gradients. Animated backgrounds provide full-screen dynamic and moving backgrounds behind your text and slide content to add depth, attention, and impact to your presentations.
123PPT's animated backgrounds are the only professionally designed full-screen television quality video loops available for PowerPoint.
As professional loops, each video is designed and created so that it may loop seamlessly and can be set to loop infinitely across single slides or your entire presentation without interruption, pauses, or annoying breaks. |

What is a Video Background Collection?
|
|
|
|
|
|
A Video Background Collection contains 12 unique video loops, which share common qualities, and attributes, yet differ in overall texture, style, and animation. For example, The Electric Effects Video Background Collection in blue sees a collection of blue video background loops for PowerPoint which evoke a feeling of electricity, power, and energy.
Each collection provides you with a wide range of choice and selection to bring your slides and presentations to life and engage your audiences. |

Why do 123PPT provide Video Background Collections?
|
|
|
|
|
|
The video artists and designers of 123PPT.com have created Video Background Collections to provide you with choice, flexibility, and convenience.

Our value saving Video Background Collections provide great choice and variety at a minimal cost. And as the only professionally designed video background loops for PowerPoint, each 123PPT Video Background Collection provides you with exceptional value for money. |

| What is the difference between your Free PowerPoint Video Backgrounds and the 123PPT Video Background Collections which I can purchase from your site? |
|
|
|
|
|
| In the Free PowerPoint Video Backgrounds section we present a number of free video backgrounds for PowerPoint and for use in licensed copies of the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio for you to download and use. Because the video backgrounds in this section are provided to you free of charge and without need to license or pay for use, each video background in the Free PowerPoint Video Backgrounds section is watermarked. All of our commerically available Video Background Collections in all other PowerPoint Video Background sections are not watermarked and may be purchased and downloaded for use in your PowerPoint presentations. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why have I not seen many presentations with video backgrounds before?
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default PowerPoint does not let you insert a video background or indeed any other animated background into a presentation to use as a slide background.
Therefore companies such as PoweredTemplates who promote PowerPoint Video Backgrounds as products actually fool users and potential customers into believing that they can use their products in PowerPoint.
Because PowerPoint does not itself allow you to add video into your slide backgrounds, presenters can only rely on Microsoft's default background options. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Does 123PPT provide a product for running full screen video as backgrounds in my presentation slides?
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Yes we do. The 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio not only allows you to embed full screen full motion video into the backgrounds of your slides, but also provide you with complete control of every aspect of each video clip that you use. From speed, to transparency, to color. |

Are 123PPT Video Background Collections compatible with the Crystal Graphics PowerPlugs: Video backgrounds Player?
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Yes absolutely. Only remember that the video loops themselves will run slower and more "choppy" through the Crystal Graphics PowerPlugs: Video backgrounds Player than through the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio. |

What is the difference between The 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio and Crystal Graphics PowerPlugs: Video backgrounds Player?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Primarily the main difference is performance. But more than performance we are aware of at least 30 differences in quality, functionality, and capability.
- The 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio allows you to run full screen full motion television quality video loops at 25 frames per second up to full HD (1920 x 1200 screen pixels). The Crystal Graphics PowerPlugs: Video backgrounds Player allows you to play back video at 12 - 15 frames or less per second at resolutions no higher than 800 x 600 screen pixels.
- The 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio allows you to assign indiviudal video backgrounds to each individual slide. The Crystal Graphics solution does not and only allows you to apply one video background to a single slide or your entire presentation.

What is the difference between 123PPT.com's Video Background Collections and Crystal Graphics PowerPlugs: Video backgrounds?
|
|
|
|
|
|
123PPT.com's Video Background Collections are professionally designed full-screen television quality video loops which loop seamlessly and play at 25 frames per second (25fps). Each PowerPoint video background from 123PPT is created in two versions.- At 640 x 480 pixels Standard (4:3) aspect ratio screen resolution that is then dynamically scaled proportionally to fill your slide background.
- At 720 x 450 pixels Widescreen (16:9) aspect ratio screen resolution that is then dynamically scaled proportionally to fill your slide background.
Crystal Graphics PowerPlugs: Video backgrounds are not designed or created by Crystal Graphics. Crystal Graphics is merely a third-party reseller of other designers work which plays at a poor 12 - 15 frames per second (12-15fps), approximately half the frame rate of PowerPoint video backgrounds from 123PPT.
More than this, Crystal Graphics attempt to lock users into purchasing an annual subscription to access and purchase video backgrounds for their product. At 123PPT.com we don't think that this is fair to you as a presenter, or to your budget, and so we provide PowerPoint Video Background Collections which can be purchased as and when you need them without any subscription obligations. |

What is the difference between a 123PPT video loop from a Video Background Collection and a regular PowerPoint background? |
|
|
|
|
|
Each of the 12 individual video loops which create a Video Background Collection are created as Windows Media Video files, (.WMV) and are professionally designed video clips created to loop seamlessly at 25 frames per second so that they may animate smoothly and infinitely in the background of your slide behind your text and key bullet points.
A regular PowerPoint background is typically a graphic or other photographic image (JPG) or (GIF) that can be inserted to serve as a static background on your slide behind your text and key bullet points. |

Why do the low resolution video thumbnails have "Click here to add title" and "Click here to add subtitle" written across them? |
|
|
|
|
|
The low resolution video thumbnails are low resolution screen captures of the front (opening) slide of a blank presentation.
A video loop from a corresponding Video Background Collection has been inserted into the blank presentation in order to illustrate how the slide will look when run in your actual presentation. Therefore no title or subtitle heading has been added to the blank presentation, and so "Click here to add title" and "Click here to add subtitle" is displayed by PowerPoint as a reminder to add a title and subtitle for the presentation. |
