Thanks so much for the quick response. So when you say video editor you mean I would need to take each video (AVI file) that I want on my site and edit that file to add the frames I want.
This is exactly what I am trying to do to my video files:
http://www.digitaltutors.com/digital_tutors/video.php?v=211The brain sequence is sort of like an ad. Then after viewing it you are allowed to play the video. So this looks like something I'm going to have to go search for, and do to the video. Coppermine (by editing) can not accomplish this?
edit-after doing some major filtering through that link's source code I found the coding, I think, that actually plays the 'small clip' (../dtv_/z_poster/poster_688_572.mov) then the 'final video' (../dv/ae/211/211.mov)

It looks like HTML to me, perhaps I could add some of this coding to one of the coppermine files to let it know to play the 'small clip' before each video. Well, if someone could atleast tell me if this is possible what I am wanting (or if I'm on the right track, if you know) I would greatly, greatly appreciate it.
Thank you again.
