I have a short video inserted into a slide. I want the slide to jump to the next when the video ends. The timeline is only as long as the video, and I have set a trigger to jump to the next slide when the timeline ends. However, it does not jump. Anything I need to do?
Providing that you set this as a SLIDE trigger, it should work. As an alternative, set a trigger for the video that jumps to next slide 'when media completes'.
I have a trigger to change the state button from hidden to normal when the slide timeline ends. It has worked in the past as the course has been published many times, but now it doesn't. Have submitted a support request.
Oooo I didn't check the Master. Will have a look. Thanks for the offer of help - I may well take you up on it if its not something obvious on the master. thanks again.
Hi Wendy - think i am getting there. I checked the Master and the elements on there had longer display times than the elements on the slide itself. As you might expect, I am using the same master for multiple slides. Do you know if there are recommendations for how to set the display times for elements on the master please? I don't want elements to disappear from the master before the end and but I don't want the elements on the master making the slide longer than it should be, so I can use the trigger to show the next button. Ideally don't want to have to go through and change all of the triggers to fire when the audio ends as it is a long course. Thanks for helping...
If your master slide has a timeline of 10 seconds (and no trigger action) and a slide using that master slide layout has a trigger to move on after 5 seconds or when audio completes, the trigger on the slide (not the master) is going to execute. It's when you have conflicting triggers on the master slide layout to jump to slide when timeline ends that it can become an issue.
Thanks for the help. When I looked at the slide master, the timeline was 113 seconds until the end, but the timeline of the slide itself was only 20 secs. I dragged the End of the master timeline to 15 seconds and the next button on the slide then appeared at the end of the main slide timeline as i wanted it to. I didn't change any triggers on the Master. I am waiting for Articulate Support to get back to me and I sent them the Storyline file, so I will let you know what they say. Thanks again.

Hi Stephanie
is it on the timeline of the slide or an object on the slide?
Hi Wendy
It's on the timeline of the slide. All worked fine before and i haven't changed anything,
Thanks
There isn't a trigger on a slide master that may be affecting it? Happy to take a look if you want to share the .story file.

Hi Stephanie
not sure I am understanding you.
