Video

With the"Video" object you can configure the following settings in the “Object settings”:

File name	Shows you the path and file name of your video. Using the yellow folder you can also exchange the video for another video file.
Duration	If you have once changed the playback time of the video, you can set the correct video length again with a click on the time.
Play back video entirely	If the option is selected, the full length of the video is played back. If you deselect the option, you can set the playback duration individually.
Aspect ratio	Retain: The video retains outlines when being played back. Crop: Parts are “cropped” from the edge of the video until the video fits into the correct aspect ratio without edges emerging. Distort: The video is inserted into the aspect ratio of the slide show, whereby a distortion of the image takes place.
Alignment	Determines where the video is supposed to be positioned on the screen.
Transition	A cross fading effect can also be assigned to the video here. Using “Adjust” the transition can be individually configured.

Here you can determine if the background music should be faded out when the video is played back. If the video does not have its own sound, but perhaps a noise has been recorded, set the volume of the video to 0% and remove the check mark beside “Fade background music”.

“Animated transparency” is described in the design options under Animated transparency.
