I have Camtasia tracks I want to place into Storyline 2. Each track demonstrates step by step procedures how to do something. Once the learner reviews the demo, I want to replay the track, but stop the track at particular intervals, and place a question to answer within the track. Once they click the correct answer, the track moves on. Not sure how to do this and would appreciate help.
One idea would be to direct the user to the "next slide" when they finish viewing the demo. This would be a duplicate slide, and you can insert questions as layers in this slide.
You can trigger the layer to show "when timeline reaches" and select the timing in which you want the question to appear. Then have a "correct" answer button, and set a trigger to "hide layer" when the user selects the correct answer.
Make sure when you add the question layers, to set the slide properties to "pause the timeline of the base layer" so it will stop playing until they choose an answer.
This would not be a questions that could be tracked for a quiz purpose, but just as a review for their own knowledge.
I am not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but attached is a basic file showing the layers coming in as questions.
I tried the technique used by Mike Enders but I find my video disappears when stopped on the time line. Might be using Camtasia is the problem. However, I like the interactivity of video and what it can do.

I see the layers and where you are going. However, during my tutorial I want the leaner to click on specific sections in the video, that if they click on the the correct icon, the video starts and stops when for the next interaction.
I think I would have to trigger the learner back to the video from a layer, allow them to click on a hot spot on the video that triggers the correct response by re-starting the video, and continue to the next layer. Does that make sense or am I on the wrong track?
I think I get what you are looking for. Hotspots would be the way to go if you need them to click on the video itself. When you add in the layers to appear, just make sure you set it to pause the timeline of the base layer so the video stops. Whatever you use to trigger the layer to hide, will let the base layer resume again.
It seems that when I time the video to stop at a certain amount of seconds, to show the first layer interaction, the video disappears vs. pausing. How can I correct this feature?
When the "stop/pause media" trigger is used, the videos will stop/go black. What you can do is set the layer to appear at X seconds, and make sure that layer is set to pause timeline of the base layer. That will pause the video, but it will still appear.
Your help was much appreciated. I found that in order for me to pause the video and not have it shut off, I needed to add a trigger and have it pause on my cue points. Lots of new stuff to learn but glad the community is out there to help.

hopefully others will share ideas as well!
Emily,
Thank you for suggestion and help and will let you know how it turns out.
Glen
Not a problem Glen, hope it works for you!
Emily,
Unfortunately, I cannot find the attached basic file showing the layers coming in as questions. If you can re-send I would appreciate your help.

Hello Glen,
I will re attach the file for you.
Thank you so much.
