Hi all,
If you need to insert an image stack into PowerPoint so that you can
interactively scroll through it (backwards or forwards) then I have found
the following works well in PowerPoint 2007 or 2010:
1. Save the stack as an image sequence (File > Save As > Image Sequence)
with a file type of .jpg (to keep the presentation size down) to a folder.
It makes sense to resize the stack so that the dimensions aren't more than
you need for the final projection.
2. In PowerPoint 2007 or 2010 go to the Insert Tab > Photo Album > New Photo
Album and follow the dialog box to locate your folder of stack images
created in step 1. This will insert the images in sequence in a presentation
one per slide. On my current version it seems that the slides are created in
a new presentation which can be saved and copied into the main presentation
you are working on.
3. You can delete the folder containing the images now.
4. To scroll interactively during the slide show the arrow keys on the
keyboard seem the best option. This allows far more interactive control than
an embedded video.
Obviously, if the stack has many slices the number of slides will be great
but as long as the images are not excessively sized and have been inserted
in a compressed format the file-size doesn't end up excessive.
Hope this helps,
Julian

Hi all,
I also have seen this problem with the ImageJ .avi files particularly on
Windows Powerpoint I believe.
Worst case scenario, one can export a ImageJ stack to a directory as a
series of .png (or other) images. Then use something like 'mencoder' from
MPlayer (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEncoder) to make a movie in a number
of formats including .avi.
Here's what I've used to build an .avi file from PNG images at 60 fps (width
and height are 200 pix):
> mencoder mf://*.png -mf w=200:h=200:fps=60:type=png -ovc copy -oac copy -o
output.avi
More examples of mencoder's use are here (see the section on "Encoding from
multiple input image files" in particular):
http://web.njit.edu/all_topics/Prog_Lang_Docs/html/mplayer/encoding.html
For merging audio and video I've also used 'ffmpeg':
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFmpegBest regards,
John

please tell us how. Each movie runs once or twice and then the window goes
black. We've had a few IT people here look at this, but have not gotten
results.
