Join Alicia Katz Pollock for an in-depth discussion in this video Using a video as a slide background, part of PowerPoint 2010: Audio and Video.
While my slideshow has a nice 3D gradient for background, it might look really…nice to have a dynamic background of flowers behind my content.…PowerPoint gives you the ability to use a media clip as the background on the slide.…Here's how to make it happen.…First, decide if you want the media clip to be on the background of just one…slide or if you want it to appear on all your slides.…If you want it to appear everywhere, go up to the View tab and choose Slide…Master on the left-hand side.…Click on the top Slide Master so that this change cascades down to all of…your slide masters.…
Go to the Insert Ribbon and insert your video.…We'll insert a video from file and we'll choose our background Lilies.…For detailed information on inserting videos, please see that chapter earlier on this course.…If you're going to use a video behind other text or images, it's best to choose…a movie that doesn't have a focal point.…In other words, some sort of landscape or broad view is better than a clip that…contains specific subject matter like people or objects.…
