When adding a movie

  is considered an object.

  dragon breathing fire. In order to see the
  animation, you will have to press F5 to play the
  side show.

Inserting Video Clips

• Sometimes, when you are importing a video clip,
  PowerPoint will ask you if you want it to play
  automatically.
• It is recommended that when prompted with this
  question, you opt to not have that happen, this
  is so that you have more control over the
  situation
• Also, once you insert the file, it made appear as
  a black box on the screen. To see what the
  audience will see, press F5 to test it.
