5ml User's Guide

CHAPTER 11: Using Media Widgets
In the Options section, you can set the video content to play automatically or only when the user clicks on the play
control. You can also set the video content to play in a loop and you can choose whether to preload the video
content. (Preloading the video reduces the response time when the user clicks to play the video; however, it
increases the initial page load time.) For details, see "Changing General Properties" on page 197
If you enable the tracking feature for the project, then you see additional options on the General tab. You can
choose to track when the user starts the video, pauses the video, and when the video ends (either auto or manual
stop). In the Label and Category fields you can enter custom values to create report tags to sort and aggregate the
events in tracking reports.

media end.
• The Appearance tab lets you set the element's border and opacity, and add a reflection and shadow to the element.
For details, see "Changing Appearance Properties" on page 198.
• The Layout tab lets you set the size of the element and its position on the page. You can also constrain the proportions
of the element so that the aspect ratio stays the same when freely resizing it on the Canvas. For details,
see "Changing Layout Properties" on page 214.
