HELP! Problem playing video backgrounds from poweredtemplates.com

 

So okay, my first dumb mistake. My second seems to be having purhcased your deluxe license for the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio that when I import the video backgrounds I purchased from poweredtemplates they look awful and worse play really badly in my PowerPoint presentations.

 

I know this is probably not something you can help me with, but I've tried to complain to poweredtemplates and they just don't want to help at all or listen.

 

Is there a reason why the video backgrounds from poweredtemplates play so badly?

 

Appreciate any help with this.

 

Ok so you made your first mistake, buying video backgrounds from a third-party like poweredtemplates

 

The video backgrounds offered at that site are firstly absolutely not for PowerPoint rocky.

 

It's a shame that sites such as poweredtemplates trick and fool users rocky and it seems you are another one of their victims unfortunately.

 

Firstly by offering Video Backgrounds for PowerPoint when infact they don't provide any solution for using video backgrounds in PowerPoint is like selling you a car without gasoline so you can't even take it off the lot.

 

That they don't inform users in advance that you cannot insert and use video as backgrounds in PowerPoint without the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio is perhaps even worse because its like selling you a car without an engine and not telling you until after you bought the car that you can't use it.

 

So users purchase their video backgrounds without knowing if or how they can actually be used in their PowerPoint presentations.

 

If you look at the specifications of their "video backgrounds for PowerPoint" you can see there are several problems.

 

For example, the files play at only 15 frames per second. This is approximately half the speed of digital or television. In otherwords, it's not smooth and any video rendered at 15 frames per second is going to play a bit jerky and provide poor visual results.

 

You'll also see that they are encoded at 5300Kbps. This means in order to play they need to transfer data at 5300 Kilobyes per second which is not always possible for example on laptops or on computers running several processes and having PowerPoint open in addition. So play back becomes even slower that the already slow 15 frames per second.

 

Sadly all video backgrounds provided by this site are only in 640 x480 or 4:3 aspect ratio format also. This is fine if you are running your monitor in 4:3 aspect ratio screen resolutions such as 1024x768 or 1600x1200. But if your computer is running in a 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio and in screen resolutions such as 1280x768 or 1920 x 1080 then the video background will not fill the screen and leave wide black bars either side of the screen.

 

My suggestion rocky is to take contact with our Customer Services Department through the CONTACT US option in the left hand menu and refer to this thread and your situation. We may be able to re-edit your video backgrounds for you and make them more suitable for your PowerPoint presentations and for use in the http://www.123ppt.com/video-backgrounds-studio/ - 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio .

 

I know I am probably biased, but the great thing about our video backgrounds is that you will always have the peace of mind in knowing that every video background from 123PPT is a professional seamless loop that looks fantastic and plays at an incredibly smooth 25 frames per second. Optimized for PowerPoint and optimized for use in the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio. 

 

In the end isn't this what every provider of presentation resources job should be about? To provide you with the best video backgrounds and the best tools for PowerPoint that let you make the best PowerPoint presentations possible and help you make your next PowerPoint presentation even better.
