I've had an issue using video clips in Impress for a long time. I'm currently suffering the embarrassment of having to ask someone to prepare a PP presentation rather me doing it in Impress because of this.....
Basically, I need a slide that, when it's displayed, immediately shows a video clip (of some minutes), and at the end of the clip transitions to a blank screen until the next slide is requested.
/Always/ I have glitches at the start and end of the video. The current attempt shows a full-screen "?" for a fraction of a second before the video starts (in previous LO versions, it's shown a random frame from near the start of the clip). I would dearly love just to have frame 1 of the video appear, and for the last frame to remain when done, without extraneous "stuff" inserted.
This looks to be the same issue as bug 69461, which dates back to 2013 without a fix!! Also 112958 looks probably related, albeit appearing on windows, but commenting on the use of a placeholder video frame.
For me, it's a complete show-stopper, and obviously a number of people are having this problem but manage to somehow put up with it. I'm surprised it's not received attention yet.
Any thoughts on this please? Does a majority not suffer from it? (And if so, what's the difference in setup/usage?) Does anyone have a workaround? (I can't find one)
(I'm currently using LO 5.4.2.2 on Mint 18.1; but I'm almost sure this happened in days of yore under windows XP)
