problems adding text box trigger to an imported video

Jul 11, 2018

I'm using Storyline to create a course with an embedded video. I can stop the timeline on the point in the course where I want to add a textbox-based trigger. 

However, when I pause or stop the course, the video is no longer visible, making it impossible for me to align the textbox trigger on top of the video. 

How do I solve this? By adding another layer?

Hi Michael, 

It sounds like you're using the play/pause timeline button to try and sync up individual timing elements? Instead of using the timeline play/pause, as it's designed to help you see the course as a whole, could you look at the time stamps of the video in editing and use those to time the appearance of other items on your slide?
