Video Clips

I am trying to use video clips in my PP presentation and I have inserted them as objects then media clip or video clip. I then hit insert clip and either video for windows or direct show. The reason I am doing it this way is that I want to be able to edit my clips some.

I can get through all the steps. However, the problem is when I get back into the slide presentation and exit the edit area the picture of my clip reduces beyond the parameters I had set.

Can I not edit my clips in this fashion? Does anyone know any way to make this work?

Thanks
Steve

I think that your best bet will be to edit the video in your video editing
software and then insert it into PPT using Insert/Movie or Insert/Object.
Basically, PPT isn't a good video editor and will do best playing the video
"as is."
