Folienvideo Vimeo

I have embedded a video from Vimeo in a course (current Captivate version). The video is also shown, but when it is played it starts again (loop) - but only for the first few seconds. This is obviously a bug in Captivate.

Why is is "obviously a bug in Captivate"?

 

Videos don't normally do that in Captivate.  But this isn't just a typical video inserted as an MP4.  It's a video that resides on an external server run by Vimeo.  

 

So, why is there no possibility this issue might be due to something that Vimeo is doing?

When I watch the video in Vimeo (also Stream, also my browser -Chrome-) everything works fine. I also experimented a little to "fix" the error: for example, I shortened the video replay time (in Captivate) by 1, 2 or 3 seconds: the video was finished earlier, but the loop was still there. In the meantime, in the video editing, I put 5 seconds of white space before and 15 seconds of white space after the video, so that only "white" can be seen during the loop. But that's just a tool to make it work at all. I suspect that the real video duration (minutes: seconds: frames) cannot be interpreted exactly by Captivate (only whole seconds) and therefore this error occurs.

Rod, for me it is a bug. I got the same issue, and I've been trying to tackle it moving my interactive videos around the timeline.

It helped a bit converting my video files from 25p to 30p and re-uploading them to Vimeo. But something goes wrong with the vid.onended.
