I have a slide that has a trigger to pause the time line and a trigger to pause a video. I then have a trigger to open a layer that has some text on it.
When I try to add a trigger to go back to the first layer, there is no "Resume Video" option and therefore the video starts from the beginning. This is the last piece of my learning project. Any input would be hugely appreciated.
on the layer if you use the pause base timeline the video should pause as well so you don't need a pause/resume video and then when the layer is closed, it should automatically resume - does that not happen?
when I first replied your attachment must not have fully uploaded as I didn't see it there. i have downloaded your file but I don't see any layers on the video slide?
if you wanted someone to help you it might be easier if you could share your story file - that way folks can work with your specific setup. As it stands we have nothing to work with as your sample file doesn't represent the issue you are having.
That description doesn't match with the file you shared at the start of this forum discussion. That file looks as Wendy showed in her images above, where there was only the base layer and the video. The file also only had two slides, neither of which I remember looking like a table of contents, or having triggers to show the video slide. So at this time it seems that we're either looking at the wrong file or there is a miscommunication about the behavior you'd like to see.
Maybe it would be easier if you could share some screenshots of what you're seeing, or if you have a screen recording tool to show us the behavior?
Yikes, I was pointing to the incorrect file. My apologies. My .story file exceeds the allowable limits. Can someone suggest another way to send this file in an acceptable manger?

i removed a lot of the triggers on the butterfly/video and exposure layers and changed the 'when revisiting' option on the butterfly/video layer to resume saved state.
Hope this helps and I've understood what you were trying to do.

Hey John - Just FYI that replying to the forums via e-mail attaches your signature here in the forums. You are welcome to pop in and edit if needed.
Now, back to your question - I'd love to assist, but I'm not sure what slide you are asking about in your file. I was looking for video on a base layer and did not see that, so figured I'd just ask :)

Same here John - I also didn't see any triggers to do anything with the video - so perhaps you uploaded the wrong .story file?

The first layer of the slide is called the Base layer which is where your video is sitting,
Your issue said 'I then have a trigger to open a layer that has some text on it'
There are no other layers attached to this slide.
this is what I would be expecting to see if you had another layer

OK sorry for inconvenience. I will try to share story file again. Thanks for your patience.

Hi John
see if the attached is working how you want.
i removed a lot of the triggers on the butterfly/video and exposure layers and changed the 'when revisiting' option on the butterfly/video layer to resume saved state.

I have heard mention of “leaving my signature here”. No idea what that means. Thanks
