Hello 123ppt.

A great forum. I think this is the most comprehensive and professional presentation and powerpoint forum that i have come across online so well done.

I see that you have recently launched full screen video backgrounds for PowerPoint to run as animated looping backgrounds upon slides.

Can you explain a little more about how this works?

If I create a powerpoint presentation with video backgrounds will others be able to view my presentation with video backgrounds?

Are there any special requirements from my machine to create a powerpoint presentation with video backgrounds?

Do I need to be running any specific version of powerpoint to be able to play video backgrounds in powerpoint?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Theresa

Hi Theresa and welcome to the PowerPoint Forum.

We actually luanched our first collection for http://www.123ppt.com/animated-powerpoint-backgrounds/ - video backgrounds for PowerPoint in 2005 and was the first company in the world to design, create and produce professional http://www.123ppt.com/powerpoint-video-backgrounds/ - PowerPoint video backgrounds specifically for PowerPoint and PowerPoint presenters.

Today we have over 15 available collections for PowerPoint users to choose from in addition to providing 12 http://www.123ppt.com/free/powerpoint-video-backgrounds/ - Free Video Backgrounds for presenters who want to get started with using video backgrounds in their presentations.

PowerPoint alone does not allow you to insert or play a video file or any other motion media file behind slide content. That is to say Theresa, that PowerPoint allows you to use a solid color, a gradient color or a photo image or texture as a slide background in PowerPoint.

A video background is a video file that can be used as a full screen background in PowerPoint to play behind your slide content just like a color or static photo image. The difference between a video background and a traditional background in PowerPoint is that a video background transforms your presentation into a full motion experience for your audience as they watch your PowerPoint slides play like a film instead of a collection of static slides.

Thanks Charles. I think I grasp the concept of video backgrounds in powerpoint. But I'm a bit more curious about the how to use video backgrounds in powerpoint.

How does a video background play in powerpoint? Would I have to use large video files to ensure that the video background doesn't reach the end when playing?

Also Charles, I would very much like to know if I create a powerpoint presentation with video backgrounds will others be able to view my presentation with video backgrounds?

Are there any special requirements from my machine to create a powerpoint presentation with video backgrounds?

Do I need to be running any specific version of powerpoint to be able to play video backgrounds in powerpoint?

So I need the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio to create powerpoint presentations with video backgrounds but will others also need the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio to be able to view them Charles?

What about the length of video files that I use as video backgrounds? Will these need to be a specific length in order to be sure that they don't stop playing during the presentation?

When you download and install the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio Theresa, you will see that it is possible to use video movies, clips and files that are just a few seconds long to files that are minutes or hours in duration. There is no limitation or minimum requirement for the length of a video file for use as a video background. This is because a video background loops seamlessly on a slide once inserted so no matter how much time you use or an audience member uses reading the content on a slide in your presentation, the video background will never stop playing and play continuously in a loop.

We provide professional video backgrounds which loop seamlessly to ensure that there are no jumps or sudden movements between the end of a video background playing and the start of it playing once again in a loop so that audeinces cannot see or know that there is a join in the loop but that it appears and plays as a seamlessly looping video.

When you create a PowerPoint presentation with video backgrounds you can export it to Blu-ray, DVD. CD-Rom, to USB stick, memory cards, or as a WinZip file that can be sent across networks or as an email attachment.

Users wishing to play your presentation with video backgrounds do not need the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio installed on their machines Theresa. Play back of any PowerPoint presentation with video backgrounds is completely free using the http://www.123ppt.com/presentations-player/ - Free 123PPT Presentations Player .

The 123PPT Presentations Player allows everyone with a pc computer to play any rich-media enhanced PowerPoint presentation created with PowerPoint and any 123PPT presentation enhancement soltware such as the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio or the 123PPT Music & SoundFX Studio to play back multimedia enhanced presentations for free in full screen and full motion.
