Video loading preloader ?

Feb 10, 2012

Some of my slides have flvs or mp4 which take maybe 2-3 secs to get going.

Is there a way to have a preloader animation I could use to let users know that it's buffering ?

Engage & Quizmaker use the nice revolving circle preloader.

Is there a solution like that for ordinary slides with video ?

Thanks!

You didn't mention any, but if you have included SWF files in your presentations, you might consider using one of the following custom pre-loaders to improve playback:
