Inserting video clips

Feb 22, 2016

Hi,

I'm a new user with a couple of basic questions.

1) When I insert a video clip, how do I get an arrow on it for the user to click? Do I have to insert a symbol and use it as a trigger?

2) How do I set the video clip to not start until the learner clicks on it? Right now it starts as soon as the slide displays.

Thanks!

Tom

Hey Tom,

1) You can put an arrow (image or shape) on a layer above the video and just give it a trigger to play media when clicked.

2) Add a trigger to the slide that tells the the layer to pause at start of slide.

You can also decide whether the video auotplays or not in the Format Video menu if it is a video added directly to the content.

Thanks for the replies--I had not discovered the Format Video menu
