Start playing video halfway into slide (from start of video)

[mhwarner]

I feel like there must be a way to do this but I can't seem to figure it out.  I have a single slide that is a collage of several videos in frames with masks which all begin playing at the start of the video.  At about the time these videos complete, maybe 2/3 through the running of the slide, I want to overlay a single video on top which covers the screen and plays for the rest of the length of the slide.  I can't figure out how to start this overlay slide from it's beginning but not at the beginning of the slide.  I have tried to move the first keyframe to the point where I want it to begin but that doesn't work.  I did try multiple keyframes with the first two set to zero opacity and the third set to 100%, but of course the video is still playing from the beginning even though it can't be seen.  My only other thought is to put the video on a second slide with a fairly long transition time.  Does anybody have any thoughts on a better way to do it? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi,

I don't know if I understand well, but I think you can use the offset for the video, and use the keyframe to see the video or not:

As Denis says, use the offset. Set that to the time you want the video to start playing and use keyframes to adjust the opacity as you already have.
