Pause the Seek Bar (Not Rock the Casbah!)

Nov 21, 2013

By Chris de Felice

Hi folks.

Is there a way that I can pause the Seek Bar when an audio file finishes and then start it again on a trigger?

I have audio narration on a screen and I want to play the audio in two halves. The first half will begin when the timeline starts, the second half will begin when the user clicks a custom "more..." button. It works fine except that the Seek Bar just keeps moving, which spoils the effect.

Am I missing something?

Regards,

Chris.

Hi Chris:

The easiest way to accomplish this is to place the second audio file on a layer and have the more... button show that layer.

There are other methods using triggers, however, the layer method takes seconds and requires little logic to be entered via triggering.
