Audio Issue
Jun 12, 2015
Hi
I have a product video on my base layer which I want to pause at certain points so that I can incorporate slide layers containing ‘Explainers’.
I also have a music track accompanying the video which ideally I would like to continue running throughout the incorporation of the layers.
As it stands I’m pausing the main timeline which pauses the video whilst the layers come in but that obviously also pauses the audio as well. I’ve tried putting the track on the layers but it sounds terrible because it becomes out of sync when the timeline starts again and the layer closes.
Does anyone have any clever suggestions as to how I could do this?
Thanks for your help
Phil

Hi Phil,
Keep that music track on a separate layer. This layer should always be visible and should not get hidden when other layers displayed.
Hope this will work for you.
Hi Sagar
Thanks for the reply, I still can't get it to work using that approach as the other layers come in the audio stops
Can you send your working file with Dummy video and text
I've tried to upload the file but the system won't accept it, don't know what I'm doing wrong
There we go finally
Hi Phil,
I need .story file.
I can't send the file the system won't let me for some reason I suspect that the file might be to large (253MB)
remove the video n then send it. I will try with demo video.
Ok I've removed all video from the file
Hi Phil,
Check the attached file.
Change the layer property - pause timeline of base layer - to checked.
Hide other layer layers - Uncheck
Do not allow seeking.
Add a new layer which will only have the audio (loop if needed).
This layer will be displayed when Timeline of base layer starts.
For Continue to the video Two different styles used for Layer 01 and Layer 02.
Check in the file.
Excellent, thanks very much for this I've spent ages trying to work out how to do that looks like I over complicated the whole thing
Thanks again Sagar
Thanks Phil for the update and I'm glad Sagar was able to assist you here.
