This brings up a QT 7 issue. Regularly set poster frames in QT6 to great effect.
But in QT 7 when I open a .mov with a poster frame, it begins playing from the poster frame rather than the beginning of the video. Because I'm doing lots of "presentations" that screwed with the flow - to add the additional step of hitting "rewind" before playing a file. Anyone got suggestions / workarounds?
