Hi all,
part of a book i am designing has a requirement to use movies/moving images as full-page (full-screen) chapter starts. Is this possible? The movies would have text overlaid on them. Many thanks for your time. Best wishes, Richard

Are you talking about auto-play?
Hi KT, thanks for the reply.
If by auto-play you would i like it to start running immediately people turn to this page, yes, that would be great.
Except for an auto-play movie at the start of a book, all videos require user interaction/tap to play...large is ok in landscape, but those will be thumbnailed to the left margin in portrait.
KT, that sentence was missing a word, sorry. My reply should have read:
If by auto-play you 'mean' would i like the movie to start running immediately people turn to this page, yes, that would be great.
...and i have no idea how the reference "HT5065" crept into my question.

The book will be landscape only. But presumably, from what you say, they cannot auto-play anyway?
Again, auto-play only works on an intro video.
OK KT, if i decide to go the full-screen 'tap to play' route, is that possible with chapter starts? Would this have any adverse effect on other aspects of the book? For instance, the chapter starts have a linked relationship with the contents page, would it affect this?
However, if it is possible to do this do i simply delete the existing picture, drop in a media widget then insert my movie into that?
Try it and see how it works for you...
ok KT, i'll do that and let you know. Thanks for your time. Richard
can movies be used as chapter start in iBooks Author?
