  Question
  Hi,
I have an old ppt with multiple video clips which was made on my old
computer and now when I try to run it on my new computer , the video files
are not running.
I tried to find the path to video files by right click on the video picture
in the ppt and going to edit the movie but it does not show the entire path.
I can only see C:\....\video1
There are about 150 video clips and I don't want to insert all that.
Instead, I thought if I find out the full path address, then I can create a
directory and export all the video clips to that directory.
How can I find out the full address of the path?
Thanks very much in advance for any help.
DORI

  Answer
  Dori,
Try putting all the video files in the same folder as the presentation. If
PowerPoint does not find the videos in the indicated path it will look in
the current folder.
