hello techies.

i'm doing a bit of coursework at the moment and am rather stumped so wondered if anyone could help.

how would i put this into a powerpoint presentation? (the little video clips of lots of lights moving) i cannot for the life of me figure it out.

if that particular motion clip can't be copied for some reason, please let me know. i have several other examples that would suffice.

thank you!

Oh you people hurt me from time to time. You can't right-click when you have a quicktime plug-in to save unless you have pro.
You can right click the original video link that I posted though. I checked to make sure:

You need to open the url's they keep giving you which are the video clip, then go file and save page as. As all that is in the "page" is the clip, guess what gets saved.

Failing that Katy, e-mail it over if you haven't either done it or delivered it....

Have fun.

The movie url is: http://www.lifesci.sussex.ac.uk/home/George_Mather/Motion/WALK.MOV You can try to right click that and save it.

However I don't think it will even play in Powerpoint. Historically Microsoft has only allowed movies to be embedded into Powerpoint that play in Windows Media Player. Since this is a Quicktime movie file I doubt it would even play, but you can always try.
