Re: [libreoffice-users] videos in impress

Thank you again.

Firstly, I was using drag-and-drop rather than using the menu & insert. 
It does seem the behaviour is unexpectedly different, and during design, 
d&d shows the icon, while 'insert' shows a frame from the video. As you 
say, the icon does not appear when playing under your conditions.

However, there's still a major problem. The slide fades in with the 
video at the bottom of the  stack, and the text visible. However, as 
soon as the fade is complete, the video pops to the top and remains there.

Under some conditions there also appears a background image that looks 
like a static frame from the video enlarged to cover the entire screen - 
not reproducibly though.

As it works for you I wonder if there's an issue with video drivers. I'm 
using nvidia-340, on some rather old hardware. There is some obscure 
bug(s) that seems to affect both LO and kdenlive, causing flashing 
during some fades (LO/Impress) or sometimes during video playback 
(kdenlive).


I'll try this on my laptop, and see if it works any better.

Thanks for your patience!
