You work as an Office Assistant for Company Inc. You are creating a presentation in PowerPoint
2010. You want to play a movie file in a slide of the presentation. However, PowerPoint 2010 cannot
find and play it. Which of the following is the cause for the issue?
A.
You have applied a slide transition.
B.
The path of the linked movie file exceeds 128 characters.
C.
You are using Incompatible hardware acceleration.
D.
You have applied action settings.
Explanation:
It is necessary to verify that your movie file is on the list of PowerPoint compatible file formats while
using a movie in a presentation. Movies files are always linked and are not part of your presentation.
A user can update the links manually. The maximum path length of a linked audio and video file is
128 characters. If a file exceeds this length, PowerPoint will not be able to find and play it.
Answer option D is incorrect. Action settings are the predefined settings, which are used to traverse
quickly and efficiently in a presentation.
Answer option C is incorrect. If hardware for playing media clips is incompatible, the movie file will
play as a black rectangle.
Answer option A is incorrect. Media clips will not be affected by the use of a slide transition. A slide
transition is the special effect for creating a presentation. By using the slide transition, a user will be
able to choose the speed and movement to the next slide and the type of sound to play the
presentation. The slide transition (such as wedge, newsflash, etc.) is used to add visual movement on
a slide during a slide show.
