Showing still image at beginning of movie

Post by Sillysoft »

Ok well I finally broke down and bought the app. Luckily its doing what I need it to do. My question is I see videos on the net that show like a still image and when you click on it the movie proceeds to play. I tried sticking a still image at the front, but it wont show unless I play the movie.

Is there a way to show just a still image at the beginning? I just dont want a black screen showing up when the page loads, I want them to see a image prior to clicking play.

Thanks
Silly

What you are looking at is a picture which is not a part of the video but a picture of the video. The picture contains a hyperlink to the video.

That hyperlink is created within your web page editor such as Microsoft Frontpage.
