Resuming base layer video

Oct 09, 2023

Hi!

I have a video playing on the base layer during which at some point the user must click a tip sheet sending them to a layer. Once they exit this layer, I would like the base layer video to begin playing from where they left off rather than starting over again. Is this feasible?   

Thank you!

See the attached file. I have a button that enters at 5 seconds and has a fade in animation. The timeline pauses when the animation completes on the button. When the learner clicks the button, the Layer displays. When the learner clicks the close button, 3 things happen:

  • Hide the button on the base layer
  • Resume the timeline on the base layer
  • Hide the layer

The last thing I did is place a "mask" over the video to prevent the learner from clicking the video to play or pause it. The mask is a rectangle that is slightly larger than the video. I set the transparency to zero. Making the shape "No Fill" does not work as a mask.
