Hi Robert,
sorry to hear that like a growing number of other presenters you have been fooled into purchasing video backgrounds by third-party providers who claim that their videos are video backgrounds for PowerPoint.
We are getting many mails everyday from presenters who have been mislead by promises and marketing texts and have bought videos in good faith believing that they are PowerPoint video backgrounds and can be used as video backgrounds in PowerPoint.
It is very unfair and like selling someone gasoline and telling them they can travel for miles, without telling them they actually need a car to put the gasoline in.
I think the worst cases we see are also from users who purchase Apple Quicktime videos (.MOV) which are offered online and sold as video backgrounds for PowerPoint.
Not only are they not video backgrounds for PowerPoint, but they are actually in a format which is only native to the Macintosh platform and to play these videos on the pc you need to install the Apple Quicktime Player.
PowerPoint alone does not allow you to insert or use video as a background behind slide content in your presentations. For these reasons Robert, we created the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio, which is the only application that allows you to not only insert video backgrounds in PowerPoint, but also control your video backgrounds and adjust settings such as aspect ratio, color, play back speed, transparency levels.
The 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio is available in 3 different licensed versions Robert. The Standard Edition does not allow you to import your own video files, movies or YouTube clips for use as video backgrounds.
The http://www.123ppt.com/video-backgrounds-studio/product-editions.asp#standard - 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio Standard Edition allows you to import and use any and all http://www.123ppt.com/animated-powerpoint-backgrounds/ - video backgrounds purchased and downloaded from our site.
If you want to be able to import your own video clips, files or YouTube clips for use in your PowerPoint presentations as video backgrounds you must purchase the http://www.123ppt.com/video-backgrounds-studio/123PPT-Video-Backgrounds-Studio-LiteEdition.pdf - Lite Edition or the http://www.123ppt.com/video-backgrounds-studio/123PPT-Video-Backgrounds-Studio-DeluxeEdition.pdf - Deluxe Edition license.
The Lite Edition license is limited to allowing you to import up to and no more than 3 video files for use as video backgrounds. If you wish to import more video files for use as video backgrounds then you would need to purchase the optional http://www.123ppt.com/video-backgrounds-studio/buy-now.asp - Lite To Deluxe Edition Upgrade license.
Since you have already purchased the Standard Edition Robert, it is not possible to "downgrade" to the Lite Edition. We do however offer an optional upgrade license for the Standard Edition which allows you to upgrade the Standard Edition to the full Deluxe Edition if you wisah to be able to use the third-party videos that you purchased as video backgrounds in your PowerPoint presentations.
You can upgrade your Standard to Deluxe Edition license by simply purchasing the http://www.123ppt.com/video-backgrounds-studio/buy-now.asp - Standard To Deluxe Upgrade license.
I am afraid that the upgrade does cost $100 Robert. Butt his will then allow you to import all your video clips, file movies and YouTube movies for use in your PowerPoint presentations as video backgrounds without limitation.
