AVI file and title text

[Andy Roberts]

I have an avi file which is the same size as my slide and as it finished I
want to fade in a slide title.

However, the text always appears under the avi movie not on top so it
doen'st get seen. The draw order is correct.

I also cant fade out the avi object it just disappears with no fade

XP and Powerpoint 2007

Any help?

Unfortunately, this is not something PowerPoint can do (unless they
changed it in 2007). Your best bet is to do the editing with movie
editing software and put the fade out and the title in with that. An
alternative, might be to get a picture of the last from of the movie and
put that on the next slide with the title. Then use a slide transition to
the fading.

As David says the best way is to add the text to the video. There's a
tutorial on our PowerPoint Alchemy free help site.
