Movie misplaced when using notes
I’ve noticed that when embedding videos using the multimedia package (with \movie) and showing notes using pgfpages, the movie annotation is placed placed wrongly. For example when I have my notes on the left side of the slide and the actual content on the right, the movie annotation (i.e. the link) is placed on the left side.
For example with this demo: (Video and thumbnail image need to be replaced before compiling)
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{multimedia}
\usepackage{pgfpages}
\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=left}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Example 1}
\vspace{10pt}
\begin{center}
% REPLACE thumbnail and video file
\movie{\includegraphics[width=0.7\textwidth]{thumbnail.jpg}}{video.mp4}
\end{center}
\begin{itemize}
\item This slide shows a video.
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\note{
\begin{itemize}
\item These are some
\item items in a list
\item full of notes
\end{itemize}
}
\end{document}
This is the result. Using Acrobat reader, the misplaced link is visible.
That's a known side effect of using pgfpages. You can avoid the problem by placing the notes on the right or below the slides.
I was not aware that this is already known, thanks for the clarification.
