I have a video playing in a slide, and I want to use a fast forward button to advance the timeline by 30 seconds each time it is clicked. I don't see an obvious way to do this. Does anyone have any ideas?
Actually, I found the answer. However, as my video has a video controls set to below video, I can scrub it, but, if I say, play to 60 seconds, then scrub to 100 seconds, then click the button that advances the timeline 30 seconds, it does not got to 130, but 90. Has anyone had similar issues?
The video control controls the video timeline. The timeline advance advances the slide timeline. The two timelines are completely independent, so this is to be expected. At this time, there is no way to tie them together.
Your best bet is to start the video when the slide starts, and not allow the video to stop or move in its timeline independently. That means no video controls, and a filled, transparent shape over the video so it can't be clicked. That way changing the slide timeline changes the video correspondingly.
There was actually a trigger setting option I had missed.
I was hoping to be able to have the user scrub with the seekbar and be able to advance 30s by using the buttons I've added. It looks like it's one or the other. Cheers for the help!

What did you find for jumping ahead?

Thanks Walt.
