Adding a PIP video button

[jonblumhardt]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel Right now I can preview a PPT and add an audio narration to a show, and then export to .mov. I would like to super a PiP video button using my webcam over the PPT and be able to record that as a mov.

In other words add a talking head

Hi,

Aside from the fact that a talking head is almost always a sure-fire
interest killer, it's pretty easy to do.

PowerPoint does not record or embed video. It only links to video files
saved elsewhere. So what you can do is use the Apple PhotoBooth
application that came with your computer to do the recording. You may
need to choose your camera from PhotoBooth's Camera menu, but the
controls you need should be right there. Then save your video as a file.

Then, in PowerPoint, use the Insert Movie feature.
