How can a get animations to appear over a looped background video

Apr 04, 2018

Hi All,

I have a looped video working fine by using layers and triggers, however i would like some animations of text to be paced over the top while it loops, whats the best way to go about this?  Using Storyline 2 btw

TIA

Hi Glen! 

Could you insert the video on the base layer, then insert the other objects on Slide Layers? You'll want to be sure Pause time of base layer is not selected in the Slide Layer Properties--that way, the video will continue playing in the background. 

You'll also need the trigger, Show layer Layer 1 when timeline starts on [current slide] so the layer will automatically appear when the video starts. 

As long as you insert the video as MP4 to play automatically when the slide begins, you can use the timeline seekbar to scrub back and forth in the video.
