Not that I know of. When we want to play a movie, we usually
hyperscript the object to run a script, and in the script we place
the movie where we want to. Here is an example of the script. Call
it with the movie name as an argument.
/usr/sbin/movieplayer -fNv -S$X1,$Y1,360,243 -l 1 -z $ZOOM $1
Define your zoom factor ($ZOOM) and position ( X1 Y1 ) in front of
this.
