Description

First, thanks for this great tool.

I wanted to use some advanced animations built using some external softwares (like Blender or Manim) and use them inside a presentation. Blender/Manim will give me a video, and then I'll need to pause this video at appropriate frames. Of course, I could code myself something in javascript to do that using [VideoFrame.js](https://github.com/allensarkisyan/VideoFrame) ([eg](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52074965/html5-video-stop-at-specific-frames-with-javascript)) , but I was wondering if it would be possible to integrate it somehow inside impress.js, so that I can use both "videos slides" and normal slides.

Ideally, the user would create a new frame where they could put the video, and somehow provide a list of frame stops to stop at. Then, pressing "next" would simply play the video until the next frame stop, and so on.

Do you think it's doable?

PS: if it could also be exported properly as PDF... It would be just awesome.

Research direction

No impress.js file or test is named. Start by locating the presentation navigation entry point and reviewing how a slide could contain a video with configured frame stops; compare the approach with the linked VideoFrame.js example. Done should include next-step playback for video slides alongside normal slides, with the requested PDF export behavior assessed.
