Making Media Clips look non-rectangular.

[Tim]

Is there any way of making Video Clips appear in anything
other than a rectangular box? I've experimented with using
a transparent GIF overlay to frame the clip, and send it
to the front of the slide, but even if I set the frame
after the media clip in the animation order, as soon as
the clip is loaded it jumps to the front,and I end up with
the old square shape aspect, any ideas?

Hi Tim,

Video in Powerpoint always runs in foreground when played. The only way to
have it be a different shape is if the video itself is a different shape.

Thanx, I would expect this means creating a overlay
graphic, which is attached to each frame of the AVI. Can
you suggest any authorware which I can do this with

Hi Tim,

Just a personal choice, but I use Adobe Premiere for video.
