Description rotwang2011 2011-11-16 05:09:09 UTC 
It would make my life easier if embedded videos behaved like embedded pictures in all respects. I can embed a picture, fade it in and fade it out. If i embed a video in its place I can do nothing except let it play, despite the fact that the full set of animation options are offered, while silently being ignored.

Fix 1 would be only to offer those options which you implement.

Fix 2 (My preference) would be to make it work.

To set this in a context consider the following presentation :-

Slide showing details of artist etc.
on click fade up picture, full screen and dwell for however long then fade out.

I want to do the exact same thing with a video, and the full screen is important.

Doing it with multiple slides, while possible, makes it more difficult to re-order a presentation

Can confirm on Master (3.6, ca. January 02, 2011) that indeed custom animations are not properly applied to videos.

Marking as "new" and setting from "enhancement" to "normal" (because, clearly this should work already).
Comment 2 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-01-06 09:07:51 UTC 
Reproducible!
At least no animations that can not be applied should be offered.

Apologies for not having gotten around fixing this bug yet; unfortunately in future I'll have even less time at my disposal for this, so I'm freeing up ownership for other volunteers to take over.
