With storyline, is it possible to insert a series of videos and let them play seamlessly? (as if they are in a playlist, just without a visible list). Because of our internal requirements, we limit video files into certain size, so we cannot to put the whole video there as is.
Time saving tip: Insert the first video on the first slide, then add the trigger. Next, duplicate the slide, and the trigger will carry over to the next slide automatically. Double-click the video to open the Video Editor, and use the "change video" button to insert the next video. Here's a Peek at how it's done!
Hey Alyssa, thank you so much for answering my question and even made a how-to video for me. The system didn't send me a notification when a reply is posted so I just found out.
I just tested out your method. It works for multiple videos, however, I wish there is no noticeable pause between videos when a new one is being played. I tested it locally. If it plays online, I think the pause would be even more noticeable. I wonder if there's any settings I can play with to eliminate that, or even inside JavaScript after the course is published (I publish to Html5).
Do you have a trigger to "Jump to slide Next Slide when timeline ends on Current Slide?" That trigger will keep the videos playing without the learner having to click the next button.
Good luck, and let us know if you have any more questions!
Yes. What I meant was not the need for user click, but the pause/refresh when next video is loaded. The video will continue playing, just not seamlessly as if there is only one video.
Ah, that makes sense. I'm curious, do you have Replay? You can download it for free with a Storyline 1 or Storyline 2 serial number. You'll also have access to it with a subscription to Articulate 360.
Replay will allow you to combine multiple MP4's seamlessly, and you can publish to a single MP4 file. That might be closer to what you're looking to do!

Absolutely, Liz! You can insert each video on a separate slide, then add a trigger to jump to the next slide when the media completes on the current slide.

I need multiple videos due to internal file size restrictions. I split it
into multiple files, not combine multiple into one.
Okay, that makes sense. Hopefully our community members can chime in and share other ideas, as well!
