 * Set the custom animation play settings for the movie to play automatically.

-and-
 * Set the custom animation play settings for other objects on the slides to build while the movie is playing.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, set the custom animation play settings for all objects on the slide to build after the movie finishes playing.
