the video appears as a black screen. When you move your mouse pointer over the video, a Control Panel is displayed. From the Control Panel you can play/pause (Alt+P) the video file, move forward by 0.25 seconds (Alt+Shift+Right), move back by 0.25 seconds (Alt+Shift+Left), and adjust the volume setting. You can use the keyboard shortcut to Mute/UnMute the video (Alt+U). The control panel also displays the time that has elapsed since the start of the video. |
