HELP with the seekbar!

Hi Pamela,

Here's and alternative method that may help. If you remove the seekbar in your player and put the controls on the video like this.

You can then place a transparent rectangle over the player( blocks clicking on it) which you can then trigger to have it's state hidden upon media complete.

Hi, Richard!

That seems like a nice workaround!! The only issue is that I would have to change the size of all the videos...because the controls are set at the bottom and that takes a part of the screen...and if I move the video upwards it covers a bar at the top that has the title of the slide!

Don't forget that videos are scalable, so at about 95% size or so this method could still work if you absolutely still need the once played method.   Hope this helps.

But if I reduce the size of the video (like if it was an image), how to i make it fit the screen?

Here are all the options you have:

1. Disproportionately scale the top and bottom of your video to the edges of your slide, leaving room for the controls at the bottom. This may or may not be noticeable in your video, but your video content might be ever so slightly wider.

2. Proportionately scale the video to match the width of the slide, which would leave a sliver of empty space along the top and bottom , which again may or may not be noticeable.  (This could be height and sides depending upon your proportions)

3. Change the stage size of the whole story.file so that it fits perfectly.  However, I would only do this on a back up copy, and test it carefully.

Sorry, perhaps someone may have a seekbar solution that I am unaware of and chime in.  

Oh just a thought here Pamela.  What if you duplicate the video slide after itself?  

On the first slide, you turn off the seekbar, which with a trigger of upon media complete will go to the next slide.  On the Next slide have the seekbar turned back on.

Hello there! Psst.. did you know that update 21 for Storyline 360 is here?

What's inside: Please welcome the Conditional Seekbar in the Modern Player! You can use this new feature to prevent learners from skipping ahead until they've completed a slide. The seekbar is locked the first time learners view the slide. After that, they can drag the seekbar back and forth.

Plus many more goodies; check out all the new features and fixes here! 

Here's how to update Storyline 360 to see everything the latest release has to offer. Be sure to let us know what you think!
