Hmm... does your original file somehow "encapsulate" the PP file, so the 2nd display is actually a PowerPoint file?

If so... as far as I know... PPro will not load a PP file, you must convert the PP file into a video

PowerPoint 2010 to WMV http://forums.adobe.com/message/2669100 may help

Hi John,

When I press play I have two recorded video windows opening separetly. This is the type of video format .asf / WMV. Premiere recognize the presenter video as the primary and the powerpoint video window will not play The bottom line is that I need Premiere to recognize the two video windows and not just one. This was a bunch of lectures that were recorded that way, I cannot change the PPoint file. The lectures are already done and the .asf file is what I have to work with.

Thanks!!

>powerpoint video window will not play

Well, that only verifies my understanding... PPro does not work with PowerPoint files

Sorry... I think you will need to use different software... since WMV and PowerPoint are both Microsoft formats, you will most likely need to use a Microsoft product

Some reading...

Hi John,

This is not a PowerPoint file, the recording captured the computer screen at the time, it could have been a movie playing, pictures showing..anything. It happened that at the time of the recording a PowerPoint presentaion was showing on the computer screen, so that image was recorded into .asf / WMV file format. Now the question here is about the file format not what was captured on the computer screen at the time of the recording. Sorry for such a confusion.

Thanks

OK... a little further along... what is the codec of the screen capture?

Some notes on screen capture software... may or may not help, depending on what you used (some notes for other software, but still about screen capturing)
