Pausing audio on layers - avoiding narration overlap

Oct 05, 2014

Hi team!

I have a slide with 3 layers (base layer, 1 and 2).

I'd like all layers to be visible, but only the audio of one layer playing at a time (the most recently selected). I am able to pause the timeline of the base layer, but I'm not sure how to pause the timeline of the other layers. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Jacqueline!

If you are keeping all the slide layers visible, you could have all them including audio on one base slide. You could set up your triggers, as to what users click to play the audio, to "pause media" of the one to stop, and also "play media" for the one you want to play.

If you do keep it in different layers, on the slide layer properties, change the "Allow Seeking" to yes, and the trigger for Pause timeline should work for these layers.
