Syncing Video and Text Boxes

Aug 03, 2012

I've imported a video into Storyline with no problems.  I need to add bullet points (i.e. text boxes) to highlight the main points of the video. I scrub through the video on the timeline, find the correct placement and add my textboxes accordingly...again, no problem.  However, when I preview the video, the timing is off.  Is anyone else experiencing a difference between previewing in the timeline and previewing in full screen preview mode?  If so, what is the workaround.  Right now, it's just trial and error which takes quite a long time...any ideas here would be most helpful!

Hi Jonathon, do you have the problem after you publish or is it just in the preview? The reason I ask is that storyline does some fancy encoding to videos during the publish process so I would venture to guess the preview and publish would be somewhat different.

I wonder if the problem has something to do with the video frame rate? Storyline is 30 frames per second. If your video has a higher or lower fps it might account for the difference.
