embed src="clip2.mp4" width="600" height="400" scale="aspect" controller="true"

This is the code I have used to display the video onto my website, but does anybody know how to stop the video from automatically playing once the website has loaded?

you need to add these two attributes to the <embed>

autoplay="false"
autostart="false"

Some browsers wont recognize true or false. In such situations try,

autoplay="0"
autostart="0"
