Hello everyone, is there the possibility to give an inserted video its own timeline? the video(s) is/are on an extra level and not very loong (1min). I am curious about your suggestions. Thank you.
Videos have a timeline that you can adjust. You can use triggers to designate what happens during the timeline of a video. For example, you can control the Video Timeline by using When the Timeline Starts on Video 1.
Here's a look at that in Storyline 360:
Please let me know if I'm off base or if you have additional questions!
The user should know when the video ends or how long it is to have orientation. Some videos end apruptly and the user then wonders if the video is not fully loaded. Many individual steps are explained in the video. It has an advantage if you can watch certain scenes in the video again without always seeing the whole video. Thank you.
Great. Just remember that the user can click on the video to play/pause it. If you want to prevent this you need to cover the entire video with a hotspot (not linking to anything), and right click on the hotspot to untick the "Show hand cursor on hover" box. If you do this, obviously you need to set the video to autoplay, or via a trigger.

Hi Nina!
I'm happy to help!
Can you add a video on its own timeline?

Thanks for the hint, but this refers to the timeline of the player of Storyline. I would like to have a wide timeline just for the inserted video.
If you insert it from Vimeo, it can have its own timeline. Why, what are you trying to accomplish?

Is this what you mean? You can click on the video and these options can be accessed under the video tools tab (Storyline3).
yes, that's exactly what I meant. Thanks a lot
