Quicktime in Powerpoint

[BSG]

If so many of us are having problems with playing Quicktime movies in a
Powerpoint presentation, I was wondering if switching to Keynote would be a
solution. Is Powerpoint that much better than Keynote?

I guess it's a matter of tastes... It pretty much depends on what you
need and what you are used to.

I really miss the fact that text boxes can't be made to appear one over the
other. The prior box always show through while in PP the background of a text
box can be opaque or assume the slide background to boxes can build, replacing
the prior one.

PP can have many such "animations" on one slide thus avoiding many many slides
to create the desired effect. Some of my PP slides would take ten or more
Keynote slides to do the same thing.

I'd use it in a heartbeat if it could do that for me.

I own both what I don't like about Keynote is that it doesn't have a full
screen mode on the presentation screen and overall it's not as intuitive to
use as powerpoint lastly it's not as "powerful" with fonts and backgrounds
etc.
Personally, I'm going to wait about 3 more months for PowerPoint to get it
together and grudgingly start composing my presentations in Keynote because
I always use movies and they range from 1.5 to 3 minutes long at full video
resolution.

I still say that we should all get together and petition Jobs and Gates to
fix this because the issue seems to be related not just to PPT but QT and OS
X as well.
