Adding media Object to PowerPoint from Matlab

I'm getting an error when trying to add a video to PPT from Matlab. This code was given to me by a coworker and it works on his machine. We are both using R2017a, but I am using Windows 10 and he is using Windows 7. I am using PPT version 1908 and he is using version 1808.

The code I'm trying to run looks like this:

Title1 = Slide.Shapes.AddMediaObject2(VideoFile, position(1) , position(2), position(3) , position(4));
Title1.Left = position(1);       
Title1.Top = position(2);  
Title1.Width = position(3);       
Title1.Height = position(4); 

I'm getting the following error when running the code:

Error using Interface.91493475_5A91_11CF_8700_00AA0060263B/AddMediaObject2

Error: The remote procedure call failed.

Error in addVideo2PPT (line 79)

Title1 = Slide.Shapes.AddMediaObject2(VideoFile, position(1) , position(2), position(3) , position(4));

I found the issue. It was trying to add an AVI file to the PPT. The problem is another script was placing a space between the filename and the .avi file extension when the video file was created. Eliminating the space makes the script work.
