Hi,
I've come across something weird. I have an mp4 video file that I would like to play automatically on page load. This video has to be played in full screen, but I don't like to use the full screen option because I also want a big title to appear on top of this. So my video is basically an animated background. I also don't want to place this as an image sequence because adding all the files is just too heavy for my folio.
The original video dimensions are 1280x720 px. I place the video file on 100% and hit the auto play button on the overlay creator. (I test this article quickly using phonedisk and preview on device.)
When I arrive at my article in the folio I get this obvious very low resolution preview (eventhough I have an image placeholder, or use a frame as a movie poster), and I have to tap this to start my video. Not normal?
But here's the thing:
When I scale the video down a little bit (say 15%) and preview again, it starts automatically (as it should).
I tried this out with another video file and had the same issue. When my video size is too large on my page (and it doesn't matter if I upscale this, or use a video file that's natively very large), it doesn't auto play.
Am I the only one with this issue?
I'm using CS5.5 and have the version 18 tools, previewing on the iPad.
Thanks
Bart
