Pressing Space bar in Storyline doesn't advance the playhead in the timeline or show animations

Nov 06, 2020

I'm running v3.45.23393. When I press the Space bar to advance the timeline so I can coordinate all the objects with the audio, the playhead doesn't advance. The audio plays but the items on the slide don't animate like they should.  

Also, when I press Space again to stop the audio, it shows a dialog asking if I want to save Storyline. 

Can you please help??

Timeline previews aren't interactive, but you should see the animations appear. I'd recommend saving the project to your local drive (like a Documents folder) and then trying to preview again.

If you'd like us to look at the project, you can use this secure upload link. We'll reply after reviewing. Lastly, we'll delete the file after troubleshooting.
