If I understand correctly, Storyline can add a "when media ends" trigger to YouTube videos, but apparently not to other embedded videos. Is this correct?
Is there something that can be added to the embed code to get something like this functionality in other embedded videos?
How are you inserting your Youtube videos? There are two options available here and the web object option doesn't allow for interaction with Storyline triggers.
Sorry, I wasn't clear: I'm not using Youtube. I am using an embed code from a video hosting system at our university, and I have inserted it as "video from website."
I was trying to figure out some way to get the same effect as the trigger for when (inserted) media stops playing, so that the slide can advance automatically at the end of the video.
The way I have the video embedded now, I can't figure any way to do that other than "when timeline ends," but that doesn't seem reliable since the video playback may not be smooth.
Ah, thanks Ken - sorry if I misunderstand. I don't know a lot about changing the embed code as you mentioned, so I'd defer to the community on that.
When timeline ends, I think will be your best option - although as you mentioned loading times may be an issue. Could you do a few tests from the hosting platform and the internet service most people will be accessing it through to see how it performs? Add some extra time to the end of the timeline?
