Many videos played as one vs. individually

This has probably been explained before but I still have to ask as I didn't find a solution:

I have multiple film clips and want to give the user the option of 

A: watch them all in one, continuous go (without clicking "next slide" or anything of the sort), OR

B: watch them individually, so that aftr each Video the user Returns to the main screen.

So I created a slide where the user can choose either A or B, but how can I manage to give the user the choice without doubling the videos. Ie. I don't want to create one scene in which all videos are stored and one video is automatically linked to the next while having to create other scenes that contain one video each as this would increase the file size too much.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Mitch,

Happy to help! This a great scenario where a True/False Variable and Conditions can play a role in where a slide gets redirected. Here's my example:

Video Sample - You can refresh the link to try both options.

  • If the variable is True, you can place a video on each slide and have the slides automatically go from one to the next as soon as the timeline ends.
  • If the variable is False, then you can force each slide to return to a menu, where the user can select a video of their choosing. 

Setting up this way will save you from having to re-insert the videos and save file space. Here's the sample file below you can download. Take a look at the triggers to get a better idea. I hope it helps!
