    Adding an avi movie to a power point presentation
    I am trying to put together a Power Point Presentation for my college course, I want to add an .avi movie to a slide. When I try to add it directly using the toolbar it does nothing. When I try to add it to the clip gallery, I get an error message about the import filter and a bunch of gobbelty gook. What is the problem that I am facing and how do I fix it?

    I am using Microsoft Power Point 2000 and the movie was created in Windows Movie Maker. I saved it as a DV-AVI, but I can resave it as something else if necessary. HELP, my grade depends on this.:confused:

    Hi,
    I use a later version of Power Point but here is what I'm figuring for 2000 version...

    *Add clip to clip gallery

    *Search in files of type

    *Use play button to preview the video clip before adding to Microsoft Clip Gallery.

    *To insert clip, use the clip tool bar. The insert clip button on the clip tool bar lets you add the imported clip into the gallery.

    *When asked, Do you want movie to play automatically? Say yes.

    *Once imported onto the slide, you can always resize the video but not too much or it will become too pixelated.

    From what I see, looks like you need to convert for Power Point. There are free down loads online. The below links I just pulled for you but have not used them personally.

    Hope this helped!
