Has something changed in updates to SL360 in recent years? I published many projects to video in 2020, all worked OK.
Now when I publish any SL project, the published MP4 content is OK when it gets started, but always has a black frame or frames at the beginning. I can edit this using a separate app but it is a pain when I have a lot of small videos to do. I'm putting them into Rise, so quick trimming within the program is not possible.
But whether it is a black frame at the start, or a white frame at the start, I actually want the first frame of the video, to be the opening SL360 slide. So there is something rather than nothing when I place the video in Rise, before the user clicks to play.

it depends on the player mode
modern player - dark mode (default) -> black with 1 ... 3 white dots
modern player - light mode -> white with 1 ... 3 grey dots
classic player -> first frame of the mp4: white without any dots
Thanks for this Jurgen. I got this to work.

I'm sure SL360 used to do this?
in html5 videoplayer there are poster frames for this - unfortunately this is probably not integrated in Rise
