Editing embedded videos
Jun 04, 2019
I'm using Articulate 360 (Storyline, PC desktop version). Trying to embed videos onto a slide, then see the properties of said video and looking for some thoughts from you, the more experienced e-Learning community.
1. Insert --> Video --> Video from website
2. Paste in the embed code, generated from YouTube, Wistia, Stream, wherever.
3. SL automatically inserts a 5-second long placeholder which I can then expand to match the length of the video (if I want to use triggers at the end of the video)
4. It's several weeks later. I want to go back and see the embed code (or better yet, the website from which the embed code was generated) for the video I inserted last month to make sure it's applicable.
How do I do that?
I've tried:
1. Just follow this article! Simply right-click on the 5-second long placeholder and look for the edit button. Nope, there isn't one. See attached screenshots.
2. Go up to the toolbar and click Video Tools --> Options. Nope, the Edit Video button is grayed out.
What am I missing? Thanks a lot for any guidance.

Hi Fred,
That article is for a video or anything embedded as a Web Object, but it sounds like you're adding in the video from a website. Those steps are outlined here. There isn't a way to edit/see the existing website address or URL there. You'll see that noted here.
Ah, my mistake. In hindsight, it actually makes sense that I can't edit a video in SL that came off Vimeo/YouTube. I'm going to get in the habit of changing the placeholder name to what the video is. Thanks a lot Ashley,
Fred
