cross fade picture over movie

[Denzyl]

Hi

I can insert a move clip into Powerpoint and get it to play.

What I wish to do is at some point whilst it is playing to basically cut it
short and carry on with the presentation. The next animation would bring a
photo as a new layer onto of the video.

I cannot set the time of the movie length as this will be variable.
I can get it to work but not without the video stopping, making the screen
go black and then the photo fades on top. I want it to be seamless.

Thanks in advance
