Since its launch in 2007, the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio has provided users of PowerPoint with the world's most powerful presentation tools that enable every presenter to create the next generation of PowerPoint presentations.

Heralded as the "Future of PowerPoint", the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio allows PowerPoint users to not only insert video movies, clips and files behind their PowerPoint presentation content inside PowerPoint, but allows them to control aspects such as video background speed, color, opacity and transparency. Already by the Spring of 2008, the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio had gained the attention of PowerPoint users around the world and the attention of presentation publications, journals and magazines.

The launch of the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio v.1.5 in the summer of 2008 coincided with the milestone of over 100,000 user downloads of the Free 14 day Trial Edition of the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio, and following the releases of version 1.7, 2.0 and 2.5, the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio has not only seen its user base grow from over 100 to over 500,000 users worldwide, but constantly improved on functionality, features and performance.

With the launch of the all new 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio v.3.0, 123PPT takes the Future of PowerPoint to a whole new level and provide PowerPoint presenters with the most comprehensive set of tools yet, to create and share truly stunning television-style PowerPoint presentations.

The Insert Wizard not only enables presenters to insert individual video backgrounds upon individual slides and individual video backgrounds upon groups of slides or any individual video background across entire PowerPoint presentations. It now also detects previous insertion of video backgrounds in your PowerPoint presentation and allows you to remove them or retain them when using the Insert Wizard on more than one occasion.

The unique Backdrop feature which allows presenters to change the color of their video backgrounds in real-time in PowerPoint now allows you to create custom colors and create a custom color palette which you can use throughout your presentations and across your video backgrounds.

With the focus of version 3.0 to not only improve on existing functionality but to create and implement new and exciting features, the all new 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio v.3.0 now allows presenters to download and import YouTube video backgrounds directly into their PowerPoint presentations for use as video backgrounds. From the highest High-Definition (HD) versions of a video clip to its lowest resolution, the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio automatically detects all published versions of any individual YouTube video and allows you to select the version you wish to download, convert and use as a video background in your presentation.

All new state-of-the-art aspect ratio controls allow you to play your PowerPoint presentations with video backgrounds at complete full screen resolutions. Previous releases of the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio allowed only playback in 4:3 aspect ratio. The all new 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio allows you to play your presentation with video backgrounds in any aspect ratio from Standard (4:3) to Widescreen and HDTV (16:9). From modern computer displays and flat-screen monitors (16:10) to Cinema (21:9). This unique ability allows you to create and play your PowerPoint presentations with video backgrounds at full broadcast quality and even beyond High-Definition (HD) screen sizes in full motion and at a stunning 25 frames per second (25fps).

To provide even greater value the Free 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio 3.0 Trial Edition is also bundled with five (5) free video backgrounds supplied in both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios to allow you to try and experiment creating PowerPoint presentations with professional seamless looping video backgrounds during your free trial period and to experience the all new aspect ratio control function to see how your PowerPoint presentation with video backgrounds now intelligently scales to fill any screen size at any resolution without distorting slide content, text or objects.
