Since clips always start muted, make them click-to-play instead of autoplay
Current behaviour (in web browser):
You open a clip, and it start to autoplay, but the sound is muted. So you have to click unmute, and then rewind the clip, to hear the beginning. Annoying!
(I understand that muting autoplay videos is a choice made by web browsers.)
Better behaviour would be:
You open a clip, and it doesn't autoplay. You click play to start it, and then it doesn't need to be muted.
Alternative solution:
Place a "hint" by the unmute button, showing the user how to disable this behaviour in their browser. E.g. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-autoplay
