I have a few slides in my current course where a film only lies as a backdrop. Unfortunately the film tends to play for just a tenth of a second when the slide begins. Anyone has a solution to this?
I see what you mean. The person’s head (on the left) moves very slightly (although it is barely noticeable).
If the movie is only meant to act as a backdrop, have you considered just inserting a .PNG or .JPG of the first frame of the movie? (You can use a video editor, like Adobe Premiere Pro, to capture the first frame.) This would also reduce your file size and make it easier to load the module.
If you need to include the full movie on that slide, then please let me know and I will take a look at your .story file.
Thank you for your suggestion Anne. I thought it would be a big hassle to
extract a picture frame from the movies but it turned out to be really
simple.

I can't reproduce the problem. I seems to work just fine to me. In the preview as well as in the published version. Good luck with your project!

Hi Eric,
Glad to help out! Thanks for the link to the free software.
For English-speaking users, I noticed that the download page is also available in English: http://paul.glagla.free.fr/imagegrab_en.htm
