Saving a power point presentation as a movie: why don't the animations get saved?

[argelius]

I've tried searching on this issue, but couldn't find anything very
current.

I've created a single-slide PowerPoint presentation which has an
animation of "flying text."

It looks great on the screen. However, when I do a "create movie", the
resulting movie has the text just appear, without the cool animation.

Is there something I am not doing correctly, or is just a limitation of
the "make movie" function?

Thanks!

Hi,

PowerPoint's help has some information about this. Please search help
for this topic:
Troubleshoot PowerPoint Movies

There are two links you will be interested in checking:
My PowerPoint Movie does not use the transitions I want.
Some animations don't look right in my PowerPoint Movie.

Another help topic that will be of interest is:
Optimize a presentation for delivery as a PowerPoint Movie

If these help topics don't offer the advice you need, please write back.

Thanks.
