Adding pause to storyline video
The seekbar is usually based on the original video duration, so adding pauses with cue points does not extend the timeline. One possible solution is to edit the video itself and add freeze frames or extra time at those points before importing it into Storyline. That way, the seekbar and actual playback duration will stay synchronized.
This is a good suggestion, editing the video to add freeze frames would work, but if timings need to change later you’d have to edit the video again.
The seekbar in Storyline reflects the slide timeline duration, not the video file duration. They are independent, using the pause layer method I suggested, you can extend the slide timeline manually to account for the added pause time, which keeps the seekbar in sync without touching the video
