Modifying the Video Controls layer

Nov 13, 2012

Can I move the position of the video controls relative to the video window? At the moment it appears below the video, masking some of my custoim navigation controils. Can I reposition it so it sits within the video itself, or set it so it only appears as a rollover?

Hello Enzo, welcome to Heroes.

This is not possible using default functionality, but with Storyline you can easily build your own custom video controls that appear wherever you want, whenever you want them.

Here is an example from guru Mike Enders on creating the youtube style playbutton you mentioned: https://player.vimeo.com/video/149069174

And the associated thread this came from: http://community.articulate.com/forums/p/22012/121183.aspx

Lauren, thank you... not sure if it's modifying video properties per se, but rather updating the video player controls to modern day standards so that the user experience is consistent with video every where else.

Rather than choosing controls below the video (which causes many problems with video size and positioning) or no controls at all, we should have the options to display video controls on top of the video as well as to have those controls be persistent or appear/disappear with mouse over.
