You can use this script on a regular slide (if your project contains only one video) or on the master slide. In the latter case, you need an additional variable called startJavaScript.
On the slide where a video needs to be (un)locked, set the variables videoObjectId and videoLocked, and then toggle the startJavaScript variable.
On the master slide, add a trigger with the JavaScript that fires when the startJavaScript variable changes.
I made also a small change in the script. You can download it here:
