Q: Movie poster frame flashes at begining of slide in Keynote.
I have movies as part of my presentation that begin with black and then fade up (The build is in the movie, not applied in KeyNote). I've set a poster frame for the movies that is a few seconds in, after the fade up, so that I can tell which movie it is.
However, in Keynote, the poster frame flashes briefly, and then the movie plays, with its fade from black. How can I avoid that first flash of the poster frame, but still have it displayed in my presenter's area?
Keynote, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

This is an unfortunate by-product of using a poster frame which is not the first frame of the video.
A workaround is to:
- place a rectangle shape on a new slide and size to cover the whole of the video image
- add the video to the slide
- set the colour to black or an other colour if appropriate
- add a Build Out using a dissolve or blur effect (Inspector > Animation > Build Out)
- click the build order button and move the shape to the top
- set the shape to with previous build
- set the video start with Build 1
