video stopping at the end of the timeline on one slide but not the next one

Okay, not sure what is happening here.

On the first slide the video stops when the timeline ends.  the video files is longer than the action on the slide but I'm not worried about that.

 

On the second slide the video doesn't stop.

 

any thoughts as to why it works on the first slide but not the second.

    thanks for the response, i guessed it might be something like that.  It would be nice if the slide timeline would actually stop the video.  Hopefully someone from the staff is seeing this and can push that forward as a feature development for the future

    On the first slide, the video is slightly longer than the timeline duration (the video is 6 seconds, while the timeline is 5.75 seconds). If the video were significantly longer, or if the timeline were shorter, the video would continue playing past the end of the timeline just as it does on the second slide. The 0.25-second difference is barely noticeable, so visually it appears as though the video stops when the timeline ends, whereas in reality the video is simply almost the same length as the timeline.

    The video timeline is independent, so it will always run regardless of the slide timeline length, unless it is paused or stopped via the video interface, or the timeline itself is paused at any point before it reaches the end.
