    Hi Bob, you want all the video slides running at once and for the slideshow to cycle through them? It would be possible to do this, but I wouldn’t recommend it. I think it would really slow a site down to have the slideshow and all the videos running simultaneously, the server’s CPU would spike and if you got any kind of traffic it could be a big problem.

    You could use stopped videos in the slides and let the user play them if they want. Still kind of complicated to do, need to make sure the current video stops if the cycle to the next and start playing.

    To get something near the effect you want in the simplest lightest weight way possible, you could try using animated GIFs for the slides with a few stills from the video forming a small video loop in each GIF, and then when they click on the slide it loads the actual video for them in a lightbox or on another page.

    Do you have an example on an existing site of what you want to do?
