Video Playback
Apr 25, 2023
I have created a lesson in Rise, but included two videos which I edited in Storyline, then imported into the Rise lesson.
In Rise the lesson works as I would expect it to, but when I export it to my LMS and check it works, the two video files start playing at the same time.
I've never had this before and don't know why it is happening. Is there a way to turn off automatic playback of videos when you import them into Rise and/or before you publish in Storyline - or is this a quirk that there is a fix for.

Hi Elaine,
If I am understanding correctly:
You can add stop, start and pause triggars on the videos in SL
e.g.
A pause video triggar when the timeline starts on the slide
Then you need to add either the control buttons, an option in video tools, or add a button on the video with a triggar to play video when clicked.
Then add another triggar to stop the video when the timeline ends.
Save and then import to Rise.
It should work, not sure about the LMS side, I haven't tested it using an LMS.
Hello Elaine,
Thanks so much for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear that you ran into this snag.
Could you please share what LMS you are currently working with?
We recommend testing the behavior of your course in SCORM Cloud to see if the behavior is isolated to your LMS. You can test your course in SCORM Cloud, which is an LMS that we use for testing as well. Here's how:

I hope this helps!
I have found a workaround - it may well be the actual solution - but it seems to have worked.
In Storyline, and then in video mode, the playback is set to automatic, but I changed that setting to "clicked".
Clearly it means that when you put the file into Rise, the video(s) start up automatically, even if you haven't reached that stage of the Rise course - so a lesson with multiple videos has them all starting as soon as the Rise lesson is opened. By changing the setting in Storyline to "clicked" it is a manual process that learners need to press play.
The play/pause/stop buttons were in place, so these now have an actual function for learners.
Hi Elaine,
Great news! Thanks so much for sharing your workaround in your reply. I'm sure it will be helpful for others that come across this thread.
If you have any other questions or discoveries in the future, feel free to reach out in the community!
Have a great day! ☀️
I've been having trouble with rewind in Rise 360 video block. If I am understanding above correctly, I am new to all of this, 1st put the video in SL with the settings above, then how do I put in Rise to keep the player buttons so student can pause, rewind a few seconds etc. Right now, in the Rise video block, if student tries to rewind a bit, goes back to the beginning of the video. It is a long training video. Thank you.
Hi Ellen,
I see you've also reached out to our Support Engineers for help, and you're working with my teammate, Mark. You're in great hands! We'll continue the conversation in your support case.
Thanks for your patience!
There maybe an easier way. But when I did it I just instructed the viewer to click on the seekbar in the video that way they can decide how far back to rewind. I have also done by adding triggers if there are specific sections so they go back to the beginning of that section, each section is labeled (see some youtube examples) so it's easy for them to find the section they are looking for. If the viewer has to watch the whole video you need to add triggars so they can't just click the video seekbar at end and skip it.
