Actual length of the video is not shown accurately on timeline
Dear Community,
I use the trigger "pause video" pretty often to stop for a few seconds and focus on the area I am indicating with an arrow. However, this paused time is not added on the length of ...
Don't pause the video, pause the timeline (eg. pause timeline on this slide when animation ends on arrow, or right after the arrow appears). Pausing the timeline pauses everything on the slide, and doesn't throw later timing off.
If waiting two or three minutes to preview bothers you, you can save a lot of time by cutting the video (takes a couple of minutes in MSPhoto, maybe even less in a dedicated video editor) into manageable chunks, and playing each one on different slides. Advance without transition when media ends, and the learner can't tell the difference. Or advance slide when learner indicates they are through with "focus moment". Saves a LOT of time and frustration.
