Creating an Impress presentation with embedded video on some slides.
One of the videos contains a surprise. Unfortunately, when I embed it, the resulting slide shows the surprise image as a preview still that lingers on the screen for a moment before the video kicks in. That, of course, kind of blows the whole idea of a surprise.
Is there any way to change that – I imagine it’s a preview image in the video file – to a blank, black screen?
I’ve tried rendering as mpg, mp4, avi and webm formats from Kdenlive, and all have the same issue.
Ideas most appreciated!
Thanks.
