rosy Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 We recently bought an Air Frier. I am putting a show together about using it to cook a bacon sandwich. I have a couple of MP4 videos & some stills. My problem is getting the MP4 of bacon frying at 25% opacity to start on a blank slide with scrolling text. I've managed to get the text slide to run the correct length, but the bacon slide needs to show at 25% opacity over all the remaining slides, but it doesn't show on the remaining slides. The sound track is there but not the image of bacon frying. If I try to adjust the MP4 & slide times, they revert to the same time, say 60 seconds for the scrolling text & 7 minutes for the sizzling bacon. Any ideas welcome.

jkb Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 If the bacon is a video & you want it run over several Slides, then you need to set it to Master Video on the first Slide & then Copy & Paste to teh following Slides where it will automatically be set to Linked Video. This will make it run over all te Slides for teh length of the video Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosy Posted February 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 Hi Jill Copy it from where, If I copy it from the slide list & paste it to the next slide, the opacity is 100%, do I have to reduce the opacity & paste it to every slide. The bacon slide is added on top of the blank text slide, should it be the opposite way around? Rosy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkb Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Hi Rosy, Add your Slides - still images - in Slide List. In O&A add your Bacon video as you have done to the Title Slide. Change the Video to be Master Video & set to 25% opacity as you say you have done Copy & Paste from O&A onto each Slide (in O&A) that you want the Bacon to appear PTE will automatically make all the subsequent Bacon videos as Linked and they will then play over the Slides Make sure that the Bacon video is above each Slide as a separate Object & not as a Child Object of the Slide.

rosy Posted February 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Morning Jill Tried what you suggested & Master Video does not appear. 3 options Single Video Clip, Master Video Track & Link To Bacon Frying? See attachments Thanks Rosy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Rosy Are you doing the copying and pasting in O&A as Jill suggested? DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosy Posted February 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Hi Dave. Yes. Before Jill's replys, I was clicking all sorts of things in Preferences which I normally don't have set. Maybe I've clicked something that is causing the latest problem. Wasn't well yesterday, my 82 year old brain was only half functioning. Just to clarify more, there is more than 1 video clip & scrolling text on a PTE blank slide, don't know if that matters to the Master video function. Cheers Rosy.

rosy Posted February 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 I have now completed the video, not as I think I should have done, but it works mostly how I wanted it to. Thanks to Jill & Dave for contributing. The video will be published in the New Slidesow section. Rosy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
