PowerPoint MVP Austin Myers loves to work with all sorts of multimedia issues in PowerPoint and now with a simple piece of code that he is giving away for free, you can place text over video in a PowerPoint slide! I have lost count of how many times I have told users that this is not possible — and now I’m changing my response on this one to tell users that it can be done!
As Austin mentions, …I happened across something that made the little light go on, I gave it a try and believe it or not the result was I discovered how to display text over video. The key to doing this is to use “controls” to hold the text.
Take a look here to see Austin’s tutorial.
