Loving Storyline 360 but I have a problem I'm sure someone would be able to help me with.
I have created a slide that has a video in, the video is shown from the start of the timeline (as a still image) but has a trigger placed on it to play at # seconds in to the slide
When I preview the slide it looks awesome, however when I publish the project as a Video the video in the slide plays as soon as the slide starts.?
Are triggers lost when you export a project to video?
I'm having similar issues. I have created a storyline project and some slides have videos. I would like to know how to build the slides so that when the project is published it will have time before or after a video is played so that it doesn't just jump to the next slide right away. For example I want a slide to start with a video but pause for a few seconds after before moving onto the next slide. I also have one slide that has media on the base layer and text + an image on the next layer . I want to build that slide to function so that the media plays and then the second layer image pops up and pauses for a few seconds before moving on to the following slide. Is it still possible to keep layers when publishing videos?
You have to do this by adjusting the timeline and start and end times of objects on the timeline (either the baselayer's timeline or a layer's timeline). For example, extend the length of a slide's timeline, so that it doesn't just jump to the next slide right away. For the second use case, add a trigger to the baselayer's timeline that shows the layer when the timeline ends. Then, on the layer, add a trigger that jumps to the next slide when the timeline ends. Extend the layer's timeline to however long you want the layer content to be displayed before jumping to the next slide.

Because "triggers" are powered by scripts or programming codes. And all codes are not supported within a rendered videos. Storyline preview is different output when you export a slide to video. ;)

Hello Steven and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you see in your course.
We do have some items to be aware of when publishing your course to video as you can see here, but this is not one of them.
I created a sample file, which is attached, and published it here and the video is not playing at the beginning of the output.
Would you be able to share your .story file so that we can take a look at what you're seeing?

Great, thank you for the info Michael!!
I will try this out.
