Trouble to move fordward in a slide with a video

Hi Sonia

sounds like you may have your menu set to restricted...this means the next button won't be available to be clicked until the timeline ends.

see if this tutorial helps

go to the section restricting navigation

Hi Wendy!

Thanks for your quick answer.
The navigation of the project has to be "restricted" for our purposes: the user has to go through every slide in the right order, but doesn't matter if it takes more or less time. In the rest of the project is possible to go to the next slide always.
How can I do the same with the video?
Thanks again!

Hi Sonia

reduce the timeline

Unfortunately, it doesn't work.
When the timeline is reduced, then the duration of the video is limited to this length.
If I reduced to 2 seconds, as a consequence the video is showed for only for 2 seconds. I suppose that the timeline of the slide has to be at least the same of the length of the video.
The question is if there is a way to allow user to choose between watching or skipping the video and continue with the sequence of slides.
More ideas?

Thanks!!!

Hi Sonia!

Wendy's solution above can work for you if you allow video controls separate from your slide timeline:

This video is a 40 sec video - you can see that I've set the timeline to 5 sec and I cannot hit Next until at least 5 sec due to the restricted navigation.

Also please note that your reply above includes your signature, but you are welcome to pop in and edit if needed.

Thanks Leslie for clarifying that - that was my intent Sonia showing the image above as your issue description said you were using video controls below the video.

Hope that helps you 

Hi, heroes!

After doing many trials...Eureka! I got it!

I want to share with you what was the solution I found. I hope it will help someone else. 

1. Create a button in the base layer. 
2. Add a layer to the slide.
3. Create a trigger in the button to go to the new layer.
4. Insert the video in the new layer and create a button for hiding the layer. The timeline will be all the length of the video (7 minuts)
5. Move the timeline in the base layer to 1 sec.

So, if you click on the button, the layer with the video is launched. You can play/stop the video freely and skip it at any moment. Coming back to the base layer you can continue with the sequence of "restricted" slides advance. If someone doesn't want to watch the video, they can continue witout launching it from the base layer of the slide.

OMG!

Thank you so much for your support!!!
