Launch PowerPoint.

Change the slide layout to blank.

On the Insert tab, click the Shapes button, and choose the Trapezoid shape from the Basic Shape section.

Draw the Trapezoid on the slide.

Now we are going to rotate the Trapezoid to 90 degrees.

On the Shape Format tab, click the Rotate button in the Arrange group, then select Rotate Right 90 degrees.

Now place the shape to the left of the slide or any location on the slide you want the animated door to be located.

Click the yellow point on the shape and drag it up to form the door.

Press Ctrl D to create a duplicate of the door.

Now we are going to put a video behind the door.

On the Insert tab, click the Video button, then select Stock Videos from the menu.

A Stock Videos dialog box will open.

In the search engine, type the video you want, then click Insert.

The video is inserted into the slide.

Align the area of the video that you want to show onto the duplicate door.

Select the video, hold the Shift key, then drag the cursor over the video to select the shape behind it.

We want to merge both the video and the shape, but we cannot do so because the video is not a shape. The Shape Format tab will not be displayed, which would show the Merge Shape tool. The Merge Shape tool merged the selected shapes into one.

To gain access to the Merge Shape tool, we must place the command on the Quick Access Toolbar or on the Ribbon.

Right-click the Ribbon, then select Customize the Ribbon from the menu or click the File tab and select Options on the backstage view.

The PowerPoint Options dialog box will open.

We are going to add the command on the Quick Access Toolbar.

On the left of the PowerPoint Options dialog box, click Quick Access Toolbar.

In the Choose Command From list box, select All Commands.

Scroll down to Merge Shapes and select it, click Add, then click OK.

The Merge Shapes command will appear on the Quick Access Toolbar.

Click the Merge Shape button and select Intersect.

The Duplicate door is merged with the video.

Now we are going to change the original door color.

Select the Original door, click the Shape Fill button on the Home tab, and choose a color.

Right-click the video and select Send to Back from the context menu.

Now move the video behind the original door.

Right-click the slide and select Duplicate slide from the context menu.

On the Duplicate slide, select the door shape; you will see a yellow pointer. Drag the door and push it to the side to create an illusion of an open door.

Click the Transitions tab and select Morph.

Select the Preview button to display the animation.

If you notice that the video is not playing, it means we did not set the video to automatically nor loop the video.
