I'm creating PowerPoint presentations programmatically using MATLAB and inserting videos using activeX. However, I then need to manually select each video to set "play with previous" in the animation effects for the videos to play automatically when in presentation mode.

How can I automate this using MATLAB / activeX controls? I have tried searching with no success.

Thanks in advance!
