Separate Audio File in Layer B; Trying to extend layer A to match it

Hi there Scott,

Would you prefer to have the video stop on the last frame instead of showing a black screen? If so, take a look at the solutions offered in this thread. Let me know if any of those work for you!

Hi Alyssa,

Thanks for the reply. It looks like that is a thread for Storyline solutions, and I'm using Replay 360. I know I could load the video and audio on separate layers in Storyline and make it work, but I was hoping to use Replay 360. In Replay 360, is there any way to extend a video in layer A if the separate audio on layer B is longer? I would like the last frame of the video in layer A to show for the final 3 seconds of the audio in layer B. Does that make sense?

Thanks.

I apologize, Scott! That was an oversight on my part. I haven't seen any workarounds for this in Replay, but here's something that might work. Have you tried recording a second video of the final frame, and insert that video after the original? 

It sounds like a feature that would allow you to capture an image from any point within the video would solve the problem you're facing. I'd be happy to pass along that feature request on your behalf. The beauty of Articulate 360 is that we're able to push out updates regularly, so we like to hear how we can improve the product to make it work better for you!

No problem Alyssa, I know you see about a million of these things a day. And you're exactly right...I think a frame grab feature would be a very nice addition to Replay 360. That's a feature that's in every video editing tool that I've used.

Also, I'm surprised at how limited the split functionality is. If I split a layer, I can't just drag them apart and retime things. It seems that what I can do after the split is pretty limited.

Thanks for listening!

I hear you, Scott. I'd be glad to pass that along to our product development team on your behalf.

In regards to the split functionality, be sure that only one of the two clips is selected when you click and drag. Here's a quick video of how to do that. I hope this helps!

I just came across this same problem. I see this is an old posting. Did this functionality request ever happen?

Thanks for checking in, Laura!

While there currently isn't a frame capture feature in Replay 360, I appreciate you letting us know this functionality is important to you!

Would you mind sharing what type of scenario you would use this function? I'm happy to share your insights with the right team!

Hi Katie, thanks for your reply. I am putting together a training video, which I already screen recorded in Replay 360. I recorded the audio separately and there are sections of the screen recordings where I would like to stop the video on a particular screen and continue the audio. I know in other programs there is a function which will freeze the frame. Does Replay have the same kind of functionality? The only thing I can tell to do is to split the video but then the video will be black unless I insert a screenshot of the page I'm on and insert as an image. It's a long workaround for something that I would think is fairly simple. Thank you for your responsiveness on this question.

Hi Shona!

Thanks for checking in! I don't have an update to share on this feature in Replay. We'll continue tracking this request and share updates in this discussion.

This is a feature in a competitors application for screen recording that I use frequently they call it "extend frame". Where you can cut out a section of video (a bad section) and then click the end of the prior segment and just add time to the last frame to fill in the empty space (basically repeats that frame for a duration of time to fill in the part that was just cut). This is an essential feature if you will want people to switch to Replay from the other product. The application of this feature that is used frequently is if a slide of a powerpoint it switch too soon ahead or a "pop-up" appears on the screen that you want to get rid of.
