Automatic pause points on video
Is it possible to have a video begin playing, then pause at certain
points - with the user resuming playback with the mouse/keyboard? So the video pauses automatically and the user sets it running again when ready? |

Automatic pause points on video
This is not native, but could be done with video editing software and
inserting segments that advance and play sequentially on mouse click. -- Bill Dilworth A proud member of the Microsoft PPT MVP Team Users helping fellow users. http://billdilworth.mvps.org -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ yahoo2@ Please read the PowerPoint yahoo.

Insert the video onto the slide (Insert/movies and sounds/movie from file). Say yes to play automatically. Right-click the video, choose custom animation. Add Effect/Movie Actions/Pause. Set the pause to start "with previous." Right-click the pause and choose Show Advanced Timeline. Drag the orange pause action thingy to the appropriate place for the pause. That pauses the movie, and because a trigger was applied automatically when you opted to play the video automatically, you don't have to add it to unpause the movie. And crud. Now that I go back to test this again, it's not working. Grrrr! Maybe that will give you some ideas, anyway. It may be possible to make that work if you fiddle with it. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com |
