I am using a video from the content library. Its shorter than the content on my slide is there a way to loop it? A way to get it to keep playing for the entire length of my slide?
The key is the trigger, not the item itself. Whatever you choose to put on the screen, you can add a trigger to. The trigger will be (forget the exact wording) "play media"...when..."media completes" for the audio. If you use a hot spot, then the trigger would be to have (action) happen again...when...user clicks hotspot.
@Joyce: you can do that with a shape, I like to use hotspots because the transparent green lets me know there's something there, and I'll know it's a hotspot. A transparent shape isn't as apparent.

Easy to do. Insert a video and then put a trigger on the video to play the video when media completes.
Here's a quick tutorial.
I knew I had seen that somewhere!!! thank you!!
Very cool. Two questions:
1. Could you use a "99% transparent " shape over the video instead of a hot spot and have the same result?
2. Can you loop an audio file the same way?

Audio works the same way.
Thanks. That makes sense. :)
