I have a video on a slide as a web object (due to the size of the video file and the url of the file I can't get it to work as insert video (embed code not valid)).
I have a trigger which hides the next button at the start of the timeline.
I want the user to watch the video before the next button shows. Is there a way to do this with a web object that is a video? Note: the video does not autoplay. The user must click the play button.
Amma, I have a demo file showing how to do this with a Vimeo video here: http://www.andersonelearning.com/Demos/ I'm also working on a demo that would use the JWPlayer, so that you potentially leave the hosted video on your own server, but I don't have it all sorted out yet.
Bit of a long shot but has anyone done this with Brightcove? - I have looked through all the info and can see it is possible but have no idea how or where to start!
Please check the link again, it appears to be working now. I'll take a look at Brightcove now, to see if I can make a Storyline demo project for that too.
I can't - i cant even do an example - I don't have the login details for uploading something and the videos in the course I am not allowed to share outside the project team.
I will see if I can get someone to upload an example video.
I have placed the videos in via a webobject with the link being for example:
Thank you! I am unable to access this file on my company computer. I had a friend attempt to download it from her MAC and it tried to open the code in a browser window. I had the same issue on my mobile device. Is there any chance, you can share the file here?
Lizzie, the problem I had is that Brightcove won't let me sign up for a trial account with my Yahoo account. That's a little snobby of them. :) I'll see if I can find a work around so I can get in there to test.
Do you know which Brightcove service you're using? Is it Video Cloud?
Michael and/or Lizzie, it looks like this exchange was fairly recent and exactly what I'm struggling with ... how to insert Brightcove Video Cloud as web objects in Storyline 360, and create some sort of timing-related trigger to advance the user on once they've watched a video. I'd really like to know how this worked out, and what steps I might follow to replicate the results in my own project(s).
I've got any okay'ish work-around, making my Storyline timeline a certain standard length (180 seconds, which none of my videos are shorter than), at which point it reveals a layer with a button to advance. I'd like to explore the ability to simply auto-advance when the video's over, however, which I'm currently unable to do unless I put an actual video file into Storyline ... and why "balloon" my file size(s) when the company's videos are already all out there in Brightcove?
Thanks for any guidance you're able to offer based on your experiences.
I was unable to work on this because Brightcove would not let me create a trial account with my yahoo email address. I'll figure something out and get back to this by Tuesday.
We have a module in which we have included a video that is hosted on SharePoint. We have used the option Insert Video>From Website. Is it possible to assign a trigger to enable the Next button after the video ends. We are using Storyline 2. We cannot embed the video on the timeline due to the file size.
rupa, if you are just pointing to your own mp4 file hosted on your server, then you should be able to use the free VideoJS player to interact with the video. Check out the example file for the VideoJS player on my website here http://andersonelearning.com/Demos/index.html and let me know if you need any help making it work for your project.

The video is hosted on our university server (https) - which is part of the problem :(
What if we hosted the video in Amazon S3 instead? (or something equivalent?)
Hi Matthew: I am experiencing the same issue with Storyline and Vimeo. Do you have an example of a file using API or instructions on how to use it?

Hi All
Bit of a long shot but has anyone done this with Brightcove? - I have looked through all the info and can see it is possible but have no idea how or where to start!
Any clues?
the downloads on this link are not available - wanted to see if I could relate the Wistia one to Brightcove at all

OMG! you would be a total hero if you are able to! I am so lost on this

yes - video cloud
Lizzie, could you post a one-slide project with your Brightcove video embedded?
I can't - i cant even do an example - I don't have the login details for uploading something and the videos in the course I am not allowed to share outside the project team.

where the 'x's stand for numbers

Amma, I've attached the project file and the web object that's embedded in the project.
Thanks!
Sure thing.

Hello Rupa and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Since the web object does not correspond with the timeline, there is not a way to set a trigger based on when that video ends.
Looks like we've had some community members find ways to work with some other systems, but that is not something we can support.
If you have a tentative time frame, you could add a cue point perhaps that you could tie a trigger to.
Otherwise, hopefully the suggestions here will be able to help you out or someone can chime in to help you out.

Thank you Leslie.
Thanks Michael. I shall try what you have suggested and will definitely let you know the result.
