Nice demo, Jodi. I also like penguins. Beautiful video clips. I discovered Techsmith Assets today thanks to you. About the veil over the video, I don't like that technique very much because I keep clicking on it, making it inactive, forgetting to make it active again. Since you are using full screen video, you could put the video controls below, out of frame. Thus, the video cannot be stopped by clicking on it, only by the video controls which is not visible. That's the trick! I do it all the time (for example on my demo of the week) and I find it much more practical. What do you think ?
And I have a crucial question: how do you manage to put a photo on the very first screen with the PLAY icon? All other demos starting with a video have an ugly black screen. I didn't know you could do otherwise. What is your secret ? Please.

Thank you for that shortcut. I always go back and forth about how to show the video controls--in stand alone videos I always include a player, but I don't like the built in player in Storyline because, unless things have changed, it is always gray. I'll keep your feedback in mind the next time I load a video!
- ThierryEMMANUEL3 years agoCommunity MemberYou are right, Jodi. The video control is still gray and hideously ugly, that's why I always hide it below/out of the frame.
I'm still super curious on how you manage to put an image on the very first black screen with the icto PLAY.
