Hello people,
There is no doubt it is possible but I wonder what the pros suggest would be the sleekest and most stable way to make a distorted videohotspot show its poster until the video is played. The desire to do so comes from when one either wants to show one specific frame from the video as preview or something completely foreign like a 'click me' graphic.
Also some studios like to use a fade from black at the beginning of their video, making the very first frame effectively black and cropping every video is a nuisance.
