You works as an Office Assistant for Company Inc. You are creating a presentation in PowerPoint
2010. You want to play a movie in the presentation. However, the movie is playing as a black
rectangle in the PowerPoint 2010 presentation. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the issue?
A.
A captioned or subtitled movie is added.
B.
Correct version of codec is not installed.
C.
Incompatible hardware acceleration is used.
D.
A slide transition effect is added.
Explanation:
While using a movie in a presentation, it is necessary to verify that your movie file is on the list of
PowerPoint compatible file formats. Movies files are always linked and are not part of the
presentation. A user can update the links manually. If hardware for playing media clips is
incompatible, the movie file will play as a black rectangle.
Answer option A is incorrect. PowerPoint 2010 cannot play captioned or subtitled movies, and the
sound file is not defined as captioned or subtitled.
Answer option D is incorrect. Media clips will not be affected by the use of slide transition. Slide
transition is the special effect for creating a presentation. By using 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.
Slide transition (such as wedge, newsflash, etc.) is used to add visual movement on a slide during a slide show.Answer option B is incorrect. The codec is used to re-encode the file. If the correct version of codec
is not installed, the media file will not play.
