Delayed animation on base showing up on layers?
Nov 24, 2017
Hoping someone can help! I've got the base layer running like a video, where there is a narration happening and photos/words/etc are showing up at different points on the timeline (coinciding with the narration).
This is great, IF the learner is sitting there, patiently 'watching' the base layer before clicking on the 'steps' below.
The problem I'm encountering is that if they're viewing a layer by clicking the button, any animation that hadn't started yet shows up, even though I hid the base objects in the layer.
EXAMPLE: This layer is blank, but the bullet points on the base layer hadn't hit their point on the timeline yet.
Here is what my timeline looks like on the base vs. the "Observe" layer:
vs.
Thanks in advance for the help!!

Hi Erin
there is an option checkbox on the layer to ‘pause the base layer’ timeline - do you have that checked?
THAT'S IT!!! ... now if I could only get back the time it took me to post this question with pictures etc!
Thank you Wendy :)
Ha ha - Glad that helped Erin. I have a rule, if I’m struggling with something and can’t work it out in 15 mins (30 if it’s complex) I post to the forum. 👍
Erin, Next time, just attach the .story file, and you can have all that time back.
Wendy, remember that 15 minutes of your time is like 2 or 3 hours worth of work for us mortals.
Ha ha Walt - I learnt early on not to waste time on something I had no clue about or couldn't find an answer for...I have all you wonderful minds in the forum to help me work stuff out :-)
