Setting playback start point

FastPix Player provides the ability to start video playback at a specified point, giving you enhanced control over how and when content is presented to viewers. This feature is especially valuable for longer videos, presentations, or curated video playlists where starting from a certain point enhances the user experience.

Start time

To set a specific playback start point, use the start-time attribute. This attribute allows you to define the exact starting point of the video in seconds.

For instance, start-time="30" will initiate video playback from the 30th second. This feature can be particularly useful for highlighting key sections of a video or directing viewers to important content without them needing to search manually.

Benefits: Your viewers can access the most relevant portions of the video quickly. This is ideal for long-form content, tutorials, or when linking to specific chapters in a video presentation. It also supports building seamless video playlists where each video starts at a predetermined timestamp, making for a more cohesive viewing experience.

Example configuration:

<fp-player 
  playback-id="{Playback_id}" 
  start-time="8" 
></fp-player> 

In this example, the start-time attribute is set to 8 seconds, which means the video will begin playback from the 8th second.
