The clip or movie file I imported into Xpresenter doesn’t play back. How do I get the clip to appear when the slides are rendered and taken to air?
This problem is very common. Sometimes all the different manufacturers of computer software and hardware can have very different approaches to defining and maintaining file-formatting standards. Although it is in everybody’s best interest to maintain standards exactly, not all companies apply them consistently. For example, consider two movie clip files that both have the “.avi” file extension, but only one clip plays back in Xpresenter. Both files are apparently AVI files, but if they were created using different software or on another computer platform, they might be wholly incompatible. The reason for this is that AVI clip files are “encoded” when they are created using a CODEC, which is short for “compression-decompression algorithm”. Even if the file is created and saved without compression at full resolution, the CODEC defines the final “language” that the AVI file is “written” in. Therefore, if two different AVI files were created using two different CODECs on two different hard
