Question

Editing the background slides themselves

I have some movies that I made in 2006 and the dates are showing on the movies - its a product demo and I dont want to date my product !

I'd like to edit out the dates so they don't show - I don't want to re-record the whole movie again - is it possible to go into each slide and just remove the offending part on each slide using a bitmap editor or something like that ?

Hope this was clear !

Thanks

Mike

Welcome to our community, Mike

It's easier than you think!

Edit one of the slides and add a Highlight Box object. Configure the Frame to be 0 pixels and the Fill Color to match your background. Configure the Fill Transparency to 0%. Now size and position the Highlight Box so it covers your unwanted date. Copy it to the clipboard and paste it on other slides where you also want to do the same. Now simply visit each slide, right-click the Highlight Box and choose Merge Into Background. This will have the same effect of having opened each of the background images in something like Photoshop and blotting it out!
