pause video during full screen

[DianneZ]

Is it possible to pause a video set to show full screen? When I attempt to
pause it it stops the full screen display!
Thanks

what happens if you click the video clip (with the mouse) while it's
playing.... does that pause it?

DianneZ,

That is correct. If you have "Full Screen" while playing set and you stop
playing, the video goes back to the inserted size because, well because it's
not playing...

If I click the video with the mouse while it is playing it stops the video
and I see the slide underneath.....

I was expecting the same functionality as when the video is not full
screen.... ie when I click it it would pause the video and then start from
the paused point and continue to the end. Is anyone able to get a video clip
to do this?

So clickiing the full screen video clip is sending the signal to stop
playing rather than pause? This is different than when the clip is on the
slide. Just checking I have been clear in describing what I am attempting
Thanks,

No, it is pausing, but returning to it's insertion size is the default when
paused. In most cases, if you paused the video it is to make a point. By
resizing the video you can now use triggers to animate your objects, point
out text, etc..

You can of course get the effect you want by placing the video on a slide of
it's own, stretching it to fill the slide, and navigate to is as desired.
