Exporting Motion movie to powerpoint
Hello all
I’m working at a University and I want to add a 15 second ad on the campus channel
I know that the person “controlling” the content currently uses powerpoint to add things
my question is can I give them a movie file that I create in Motion (ver1x) and export using the quicktime options that will play within powerpoint
I’m sorry I do not know what version of powerpoint they are using and I’m assuming they are just mirroring the desktop of the machine (which I think is a PC) to allow play back
if I can do this what options should I use in quicktime, my guess is animation will not work correctly
sorry I don’t have more details but any help you can provide would be awesome
thanks in advance

i am no powerpoint expert but i believe that powerpoint needs either mpeg1 or mpeg2 files, and i think you need a plugin to play the mpeg2 files.

Powerpoint can play anything that can be played on their host machine – meaning if they have the quicktime player installed, it will play. The issue is how much power they have to play your movie, therefore what data rate to make your movie. Make a high quality quicktime using Sorenson 3 compression and also a smaller (file size) one. Give them both and see what plays best.
Hope this helps. -
Not totally true… Power Point can LINK to a file and launch a media player to play it if it is on their machine.
On Windows however… PowerPoint can play an AVi or an MPEG-1 directly as an embedded graphic.
