Is there a way to separate the scrubber from the play/pause and replay buttons? It looks like it's all three or nothing, but I could be overlooking something here. We'd like to enable play/pause and replay, but keep them from using the scrubber to skip to the end of the timeline.
Sorry for the confusion, Chance. I didn't explain that last part very well. You would need to use a combination of layers and triggers to return your users to the beginning of the base layer. Something like what Phil describes over here.
I know this is 4 years old but is there STILL NO WAY to separate the Replay button from the timeline? As a user, I would want to be able to see how long there is a slide, but as a designer the replay button messes up a lot of our interactions so we dont want to allow the replay button to be there.

Hey Chance!
Maybe you could use something like this for the Play / Pause button:
And then maybe build a separate trigger to restart the timeline when clicked.
Then, you would just need to remove the seekbar from your slide so the user would have nothing to click.
Is there a way to use triggers to manipulate the timeline? I don't see any options for that. I can play/pause media, but not the timeline itself.
(Sorry if this is a double post. Having trouble getting them to post, it seems.)

The "reset timeline" trigger is a popular feature request.

Thanks for that feedback, Ashley! I see you also shared your thoughts in this thread, so we can keep the conversation going over there if you'd like.
