Option to show only current image #24

From what I can tell, VideoWiki automatically takes a series of media files from a wiki page (like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VideoWiki/Dengue_fever_overview ), and turns that series of images/videos into a montage with transition effects and some Ken Burns-style panning around static images.

This mostly works fine for Wikipedia articles where the images are illustrations that accompany the text, but are more serving the purpose of general illustration (which is often the case). But in that Dengue fever example, each image is carefully chosen to correspond to each section of text, often illustrating exactly what the text is describing. In those cases, it would be better to just show the single current image so that the viewer can focus on it.

Nevermind! I didn't realize that the output videos are totally different from what you see when you're editing a video on the site. The downloaded video does exactly what I would look for.
