Description bryancole 2005-02-21 23:44:05 UTC
The new media-player functionality needs integration with the presentation
engine object interaction/effects. At present, during a slide show, a movie-file
starts playing as soon as the containing slide is shown. If there are two movies
in a slide, both start playing together. 

2 things are necessary:

a) A means of showing the Media Toolbar during a slide show, so the presenter
can manually start/stop/rewind a media clip

b) integration with the object effects system, so that media objects can be
activated in a pre-determined time-line, like other object effects

Without a means of controlling it, the media player is largely useless for any
professional presentations. Further, presentations or slide shows are the one
aspect of an office suite that *really* needs decent multimedia capability.

NB. I only tried this on linux (with JMF). I've no idea it it works the same on
Win32

This feature is necessary. In addition to features a and b requests the movie
could be paused/continue with a click on the movie (as available in Microsoft
Powerpoint) in case a full media toolbar was not need.

However, the media toolbar is actually a very good feature to include which can
see in Keynote presentations.

I agree with the above in that this is still an issue. Having no control over 
media files within a slide show almost defeats the purpose of having them. It 
can be worked around, however it would greatly improve the usefulness of such 
slides if there was some degree of control over them, Especially in the case of 
having multiple media files in a single slide. I feel being able to click on a 
media object in order to pause/play it as you can in Powerpoint would be a 
great addition/enhancement.

Steps:
1. Open Impress
2. Create a new presentation.
3. Add an audio/Video clip (perhaps both, I used a MPEG and an MP3 file)
4. Start the slide show(F5)
5. Note lack of control regarding the inserted media

Since 3.x new animation to start/pause/stop a media file.
Try our latest build.
