running a video loop background over several slides, with text in front

[Am...@officeformac.com]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) I am trying to put together a powerpoint for our church, with a video loop background (very simple 30 sec loop - Quicktime)

I would like the loop to run over several slides seamlessly as possible, with text on top, the video in the background. I can get this to work on the first slide only, but then it overlays after all other slides.

Only other option is to insert the video again on each slide- but this then becomes too cumbersome.

help?

Text can't go on top. Use iMovie to incorporate the desired text into
the QuickTime movie. It would be best to do this in iMovie.

What little hair I have left is nearly gone trying to do something I thought
would be simple. I have put together a 15 slide presentation (simple
stuff). I want to put a common title on each slide (PowerPoint 2008, Mac
Snow Leopard). I've put the required text into several of the Master
Slides, but when I go back to the Normal View, there is nothing there. I
know this must be simple, but the solution is eluding me.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Jim.. I am trying Imovie.. however, I don't think this will solve my problem. The text needs to be manually moved from text box to text box.. not timed. Don't think this is possible in Imovie??
