Getting Started With Video Backgrounds

Posted on: Nov, 2011 By: Art Holden

A new Getting Started video tutorial exploring how to use our video backgrounds.

Note: Due to limitations in older versions of PowerPoint, video backgrounds are designed to be used in PowerPoint 2010, or PowerPoint 2011 (Mac) or Keynote 09 (Mac).

Covered in this video:

Download and Insert a Video Background in PowerPoint
Using the Selection Pane to select or hide items on a slide
Using the Animation Pane to control the visibility of items on a slide over time.

View all our video backgrounds for PowerPoint.

You can download the video, save it, then go to PowerPoint to a new slide to Insert Tab/Video/Video from my PC to add it. Then click on the video to bring up a new tab at the top called Video Tools/Playback. There you can set it to automatically start & rewind/loop if you choose.
