sequoia powerpoint looped video problems

After upgrading on Mac pro M3 to sequoia (latest version installed) my Mac Powerpoint 16.90 (24101387) has problems to play short looped .mp4 video files. After playing them for 1-2 loops it is running them not properly, it looks as if some frames are missing and it is not smooth running, like jerk. Looks like it would be played on an old computer with not enough memory or graphic power.

As I give lectures my only solution so far is to play it using parallels and using the Microsoft Powerpoint, but that is not an overall solution.

Any ideas?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.0

Hey folks ... I had the same issue.


WORKAROUND: Spent 6 hours taking all videos that loop and using QuickTime to keep adding the same video. So I got a 20 second video I made it 6 x 20 =2 minutes and no loop. That works. It also increase the size of your deck, my PPT went from 600MG to 1.3GB! I got 96GM of RAM on the laptop but ..


Then today I noticed a new version of Sequoia .. (15.1 vs 15.01) ..specifically (24B83) AND ... ready for it... seems to have a FIXED EVERYTHING. I have a twin sister laptop to this and the PPT would pixelate on that one when looping and now this one .. now I upgrades both and I have tested it for a good 1 hour on multiple videos. So applying this fixed it. I was sooooo ****** ... and miraculously, I'm on stage tomorrow and it's fixed...at least it feels that way.
