Hi Sam! It sounds like you're having trouble displaying layers on top of other layers that contain MP4 videos, is that correct?
I put together a sample file that I think captures what you're looking to do. Can you have a look at this file and let me know if that's what you had in mind?
Slide master layers will always appear below slide layers, by default. That being said, you'll want to avoid putting any content you want to display "on top" on a slide master layer.
Nuts, but thank you for helping me sort this out. I was stuck believing that the Master layer was above others. Would be so nice if there were an option to do this.
Sure. I added a yellow square to the base layer of slide 1. The blue square in the master layer covers it. However, clicking either button to pull in a new layer will cover the master slide layer.

I'd swear I had a layer in the slide master that covered layers on the slide. Maybe I don't remember correctly.
I've uploaded a revised sample with a slide master layer. It seems to be displayed under the slide layers.
Is there a way to make the slide master layer on top?
Hi Sam, thanks for the updated file!

Glad I could help, Sam! And thanks for that feedback. I can pass it along to my team for you!
Circling back to this... I realized the layer in the master covers only elements on the base slide.
Can you explain a bit more about what you mean, Sam? Screenshots would be helpful, too!

Ah, thanks for clarifying! That's correct. Any slide layers will cover a slide master layer.
