Change Video Size within Slide?

I've placed a video, but would like to change the size of it AFTER it starts playing. 

Right now, it's contained in a slide, but I'd like it to go fullscreen.

Thoughts?

Hi Doug!

I'm sure others will post some more elegant suggestions - but I thought I'd chime in, just in case this suggestion works for you.

I'm guessing you want the video to appear smaller before it starts playing, then have it change to full screen once it starts, or if the user clicks on the snapshot of the video. Is that about right? 

If so, what you could do is put the video into another layer, provide a larger version in that layer and call it when the user clicks on the video or trigger it when the timeline starts (depending on how you want this to happen and how you have it currently set up). 

Another option, if you want the video to appear to be a little more separated from the slide, is to place the video in its own scene or slide and lightbox that slide. 

Just a thought! Good luck with the project :)

That worked wonderfully, Christine! I was trying to trigger the larger video from the larger video rather than using a different trigger.
