I have a video inserted into a powerpoint. We drew a black box IN FRONT of the video to conceal a persons name we didnt want shown. Set video arranged to be BAK and the black box to be IN FRONT. However, when shown in slide show mode the video plays in front with the draw box to hide name behind it - essentially ignoring the Arrange settings we gave it.

Office 2013 on windows 7



Workaround?

Many thanks!

In my experience with PPT2010, arranging videos 'to Back' works fine unless you checked the 'Play Full Screen' box in the Playback tab. In 'Play Full Screen' mode the video jumps to front like it did in previous PPT versions.
If this is the case in your presentation, maybe you could uncheck 'Play Full Screen' and instead, to have the same effect, stretch your video frame until it covers your slide?
