Select one or more object in the layers panel. Ensure these objects exist above the fold. Next, toggle on the pin icon next to the X and Y position in the Design tab of the Inspector Panel.

By default when you upload a video to Ceros, the player controls will appear for the user, requiring them to interact with the video in order to play. However, in addition to this default video behavior, you can also set your videos to automatically play on load — which requires no input from the user.
To access the autoplay settings, click on a video and you’ll see your video settings populate in the Design tab.
The Show Target(s) & Hide Others interaction enables you to create an interaction that, upon click, will only show an asset (image, video, group, or folder) that you designate, while simultaneously hiding everything else in that folder or group.
Tip: Try adding a delay to animations.
Animations will only be triggered when the object is visible on the screen. By applying a delay you are saying, when the object is on screen, delay animation by x seconds. A delay of 0 will automatically trigger the animation.
