PsychoPy version (e.g. 1.84.x): 2022.2.3
What are you trying to achieve? Is it possible to stop the presentation of a video after X seconds and continue it just by pressing the space bar?
(I am currently editing the video so that it ends after X seconds and pressing the space bar takes me to the next routine where the rest of the video appears. I’d rather avoid another routine)

Hi @Eldad_Avital,

according to this, you should be able to do this by

Every frame

keys = YourKeyboard.getKeys()

if YourMovie.isPlaying and t > YourDuration:
    YourMovie.pause()

if YourMovie.isPaused and "space" in keys:
    YourMovie.play()
