Hi,
I am trying to have an effect similar to this “http://www.fiftythree.com/paper” on my slider.
I would like to have a video button on an object in layer 1. Since it is not a vimeo or a youtube video but a mp4 (from powerpoint), i cannot link my object directly to an URL. So I added layer #2 and used “add media” in “content. It is adding the video and I can play it properly. However, layer #2 shows the frame of the video when not played. I would like a simple button (I can draw it myself) on the object, that doesn’t show anything but the button on top of the object when not triggered.
I am ready to go with vimeo if that would simplify matters. I have tried to link my object with an enfold vimeo just as a test, and the effect was not as good as the one from the link above.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hey paslet!
I don’t quite follow. Any video can be and *is* linked to by its url. Vimeo or not you would be pointing to the video file link.
Cheers!

Thanks Devin,
My next question is then:I how do I get to the URL address of my mp4 file (file stored on my computer)?
I tried using the “add media from the content file of layer#2, which allowed me to upload my file, then I copied the resulting codes and paste them into the “link” from layer#1, where is the object I want to link to the video.
When I visited the page and tried the link by clicking on the object, there was a “404: files not found” message.
Does it make sense?
Thanks.
