Setting Media Options
After you import media files into a document, you can use the Media panel (New!) to preview media, set playback and other properties. You can preview FLV, F4V, SWF, MP4, and MP3 files directly in InDesign; all other legacy media cannot be viewed in the Media panel. You can select the playback controls you want, and select the placeholder poster image for FLV, F4V, and MP4 files. A placeholder poster image is the still image that appears for the media in the frame, which you can change or remove later. In addition, you can create navigation points, which are time-code markers, that you can use with button actions to play a video starting from any of the navigation points (New!). You can work with media frames like any other frame in InDesign.
