Video Place Holder

[leviosa]

OK quick query not sure whether it's just me being dumb here. ????

If I embed a video say using a picture as the link to click on it opens up at full screen size.

However, using the place holder it is only small. On the top line it says use this to decide the size of your place holder but there is nothing actually obvious to use. I can stretch it to fill the full screen but not anything else. :confused:

Is there something straightforwardly obvious that I'm just not getting here.

On 2.5 btw at home and 2.1 at school. :-/

Is this box titled "Placeholder Definer" ? If so, there should be two buttons on there - OK and Cancel. Put your mouse over very bottom right corner of the window .. your cursor should change into a diagonal line with two arrows pointing away from each other. When you see this, hold down the left mouse button and drag to reduce/enlarge the size of the video.

Is this what you were looking for?? If not, provide more clues!!!!! +wave+

Yep cheers Dave

That's basically what I have been doing already.

I don't think the quality is quite as good though as when you do it the other way and it opens up as the full screen automatically.

Thanks anyway:D - think I will stick to what I've been doing before.

There is a setting in flipchart objects settings that affects the quality of the placeholder image when it is running.
High Quality/placeholder - this isn't set to be on by default as on some pc's this means that snapshots cannot be taken of the placeholder image
