I have a video that I have inserted into my story. On the same slide I have a little audio that introduces the video. I would like the video to start automatically when the audio ends.
I could moved the video's timeline over, but I would rather not have the user looking at an empty screen for the 5 seconds of the audio.
I tried to set up a trigger but I can't figure out the when part. There isn't a choice for when the sound timeline ends.
There may be multiple ways to do this, but here is one that I've used. Insert a shape off the canvas and put the start time for the shape to correspond with the end time of the audio file. Then, add a trigger to the shape that will play the media (video) when the timeline of the shape starts. You'll also want to make sure you had the video setting to start from trigger. See below for reference. Hope this helps!
If it's something like a Camtasia video, you can extend the first frame for 5 seconds, then republish. That would give you five seconds of dead air at the beginning that you could play your audio piece in...

Thanks. I think I'll put in a feature request....
