Group: Forum Members Posts: 15, Visits: 163	Hello, We are working on a script in which would like to show a video. Our problem is that at the end of the video the user is presented with a blank black screen. If the user presses any key, they will move on from this screen to the next part of the script. Our Band-Aid solution to this has been to add a bit to the end of the video instructing the user to press the spacebar once they see the black screen; however, we would prefer to make this smoother. Possible solutions could be: Is there any way to get the script to move on automatically at the video's end? Is there any way to put a video into a normal /block instead of in its own /video section? Is there any way to put a continue button or instructions to press a key on that black screen? Thanks

Simply set the <video> element's /playthrough attribute to true and set the <trial> displaying the video to a /trialduration or /timeout shorter than the video's duration. I.e. <video examplevideo> / items = ("yourvideo.mp4") / playthrough = true ... </video> <trial exampletrial> / stimulusframes = [1=examplevideo] / validresponse = (0) / trialduration = 1000 </trial> <block exampleblock> / trials = [1=exampletrial] </block>

The video works how I want it to, but now I am having a problem where when the video plays on a MacBook laptop, the video is too big for the screen (the video fits the screen perfectly on PC laptops and desktops, only doesn't fit the screen on MacBooks). Is there a way to fix this video display problem for MacBooks? Thanks.
