Hi,
I would like to have the landing page of my site be a short video (10 seconds), then automatically redirect to the homepage.
Is there a way to do this within Sandvox?
Thanks.

I am trying one idea. I've reorganized my site to have my homepage not the landing page, and the landing page automatically load the video. I insert a metatag
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="20;url=redirect.html">
where redirect.html is my old homepage (the real homepage). This works at first try (on Safari and Chrome, although Firefox isn't playing the video, even though I have a bunch of formats offered via HTML5 video code).
The downside is that the menu bar is wrecked. Only one main option, and the old structure is now all submenus. But I can live with this.
Any other/better solutions are still very interesting to me!

The other issue is that Firefox is not handling the HTML meta tag for refresh well. It does not pause the 20 seconds. It tries to load it immediately, giving a warning and asking for permission to be redirected.
