Change slides after video

[MSM]

I have a big presentation coming up, and I am having some trouble.

I have an AVI clip inserted in PowerPoint and have it all setup with a
trigger button to start it. It goes into full screen mode when I click the
button, which is what I want.

The problem comes after the clip is finished playing. It goes back to the
slide with the trigger button on it when I want it to proceed automatically
to the next slide. Is there a way to do this?

Hi

You could try setting up a timed slide transition for this slide only to
move on after a period that is the same (or just a little longer) than your
AVI clip!

When the video is done playing it returns to it's original size. (As you
have seen.) You can set the slide to transition automatically and set the
time to something less than the length of the video. The video will finish
and then the slide will transition. However, you will in all probability
see the video return to its original size before the slide transitions and
this can be less than desirable.

In cases like this, I like to insert the video and then make it very small
and then move it entirely off to the side of the slide. As you are playing
the video full screen it really doesn't matter where on (or off) the slide
you place it. When the video is finished it will return to where you placed
it (off slide) and you will have a "clean" slide that you can continue to
use or transition to the next slide, which ever meets your needs best.
