I am preparing a presentation for an interactive session, and need all of my four slides to be shown at once. In order to do this, I use handout
mode (and don't have any slide transitions). In one of the slides, I have a video. I run my presentation with pdfpc
.
While the video shows up as expected with the handout option disabled, it shifts when I turn it on. I understand from this answer that this is due to hyperlinks do not get scaled properly when producing multiple frames per page.
However, I would like to produce exactly that: a multiple-frame-per-page presentation embedding a video in one of the frames. Any suggestions how I could achieve that?
Here is my MWE, but I suspect the solution (if one exists) might be something quite different not using handout at all.
