Insert Movie in ppt /Frame

[Alf]

I inserted a WMV file using the Insert/Movie option. I want to show the movie
at the same time than a title slide is on the screen
The problem is that the movie is showing a frame (the frame was not when I
played the same wmv in Windows Media.
How can I delete the fram?
or eventually.... can the movie be moved back so I can hide those frame lines?

Sorry, not certain what you mean by a frame, can you explain further.

It is a line around the movie picture which I want to delete.

Point is that the movie background is the same color than the slide
background so the image moving has a better effect.
As I have that "frame" or "line" the whole effect is lost as you see a line
around the image.

If I play the movie in any player the line does not showsup. So, I should
think it is related with "inserting movie" in PPT, but I could not find any
option that let me delete such a line.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

If you select the movie on the slide and then check the Line tool on the
Drawing toolbar, do you have a line applied to the object? Maybe?

Bear in mind my porpose is to have no-line around the movie.
I tried the line tool selecting "no line" but it does not delete the line I
got when inserting the movie in the slide.

Just an idea: if you enlarge your video larger than the slide, do you still
have this line?

To answer your question: No line because when in pps you only see the slide.
BUT, this is defeating the porpose as I need a movie projection over a
slide, so it is needed to be only a portion of the slide.

have this line?

No an uncommon problem when trying to match the slide background because the
background makes it very visible while video players don't. If you down
load and install the trial version of PFCPro ( www.playsforcertain.com ) you
can "crop" the video ever so slightly directly in PowerPoint and get rid of
the line. (The trial version is fully functional.)

Thanks Austin. I got the PFCPro trail version. How do you do to have a text
visible on top of the movie while it is playing? (like if the movie were
playing in the back of the slide and text is on the top of it?

Thanks

You really can't, at least not natively in PPT. It is possible to do with
code and I have an example of it on my web site.
