I'm incorporating a large video into a scene that I'd rather not chop into 25 pieces. Ideally it'd play a few seconds, then the TTS will explain what happening, then a few more seconds etc.
Is there a way of creating a trigger that will play i.e. 5 seconds of the video (and then the video pauses). Then a second trigger to play another 5 seconds of the same video. etc etc.
Sorry if this id a duplicate, I could not find any related topics.
Hello, a few ways to do this, and depending on the outcome you are looking for. Have you tried playing with triggers, such as "Pause video when timeline reaches x seconds". Then you can start again how you see fit, such as a button on screen with a trigger to "Play video when the user clicks the button".
Be aware that you will need to automatically restart the video. When the video pauses, the slide timeline continues to run. If you allow the user to restart, you won't be able to predict the timeline point of the next pause.
Agree, many things come into play, such as if using the seekbar, if the video controls are on, etc. depending on ultimate solution, I am willing to look at your file if you need help getting it dialed in Jeroen ;0)

Bingo, thanks Jeff! (I'm still quite new to articulate)

Hi Jeff, got it all sorted in the end. Thank you!
