NOT advancing to next slide after video finishes - please help?
Jan 12, 2015
Hello, I have added a trigger to advance to next slide once the video timeline ends - however, it does not work. I am unable to click the next button once the video finishes. This is the only trigger listed to ensure that there are no issues that would cause a conflict...
Then I tried adding triggers to hide the next button until the video finishes and then re-appear.. but when I do that then my video disappears totally from the presentation. I have checked the order to ensure that is not causing the issue as well.
I also loaded the most recent update to ensure that my software is current...
Anyone have any thoughts as to what may be causing this weird behavior??
I now cringe every time someone now mentions video uggh!
Thanks!

Hello Christina,
It would be easier to see the file itself if you could share it here.
Judging by the screenshot you attached, you would need to change the object to the slide itself if you want to have the slide advance upon the timeline ending. If you wanted the slide to advance when the video completes, you would need to change the When event to "when media completes" and select the video as the object.
Hope this helps.
I would set the trigger like this:

Thank you Mathew - I have updated and i have also changed the when timeline ends as you indicated - still no go :(
Hello Christina,
Do you have a file you can share so we can take a look?
Hi Everyone - I have made the changes and updated my software and it still does not work... this should be so simple uggh... I really do not like videos :( I really appreciate everyone's input!!
The trigger looks okay to me. By any chance, are you previewing the slide? You should preview the scene.
Hello Christina,
Do you have any other triggers set up to go at the same time? Sometimes the order of the triggers can have something to do with it not working.
You could also share the file if you would like us to look at the direct set up.
I'm trying to post the file but having issues with THAT! Uggh! this is not my week ha!
Christine,
You can click on the add attachment button and browser for the file, you can also clip it down to just 2 slides, and then post the reply.
Guess what!! i deleted the last 2 slides and now everything works! (1 test question & 1 results slide). very odd "undocumented feature". I'll be back if when i add back the 2 slides if the video fails.
Thanks so much for sticking with me and offering your help!!!
Glad to hear you got this to work, let us know if you come across this again.
HI Michael - can you add insert a test question after your video and have the trigger go to next slide once the video completes? I'm thinking this is really an issue with the inserting of test questions?
Yes, you can insert a question slide after a video, see here: http://dev.keypointlearn.com/xcl73_SL2/VideoComplete/V2/story.html
HI Emily - i am thinking this is really an issue with the inserting of test questions and the triggers?? when i added the test question (multiple response) question then the slide prior to the question slide will not go to the next slide. I added a blank slide after the video - the video slide advanced just as expected - added the question slide - the blank slide did not advance :(
Hello Christina,
I just made a quick test file, and using the trigger to jump to next slide when media completes did work when using a quiz question as well as a blank slide.
You may want to look into the steps here if you still have issues and cannot attach the file.
what is the file size limit - this is probably my issue in trying (for 2 days ) to post my example?
Christina,
If you are trying to attach the file to the email response, you will be limited to your email providers limit but that option will not share the file here in the post. You can go directly to the post and use the add attachment button, or if you need to send it privately, try this link here.
Also, when replying in the email, your signature will show on your post. You can edit that to remove it.
HI Emily
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your patience - It was the file size so i did up load using the private link - i really appreciate your and everyone's help here!! I will wait for support to contact me!
Thank you Everyone! Patience is appreciated!!!
