Building a YouTube Q&A in Storyline?
Hey there, folks!
I have a client who wants to create something in Storyline that would look like a person interacting with a live YouTube video. In other words, the person would be live on, say, ...
Sounds interesting! Similar to Bianca, I'd be keen to know if they could interact with the video or comments in any way.
If the answer was no, then I'd build the whole thing external to Storyline for ease (for example in Premiere Pro) and have a video of the presenter, and a fake scrolling comments panel to the side, and animate the comments panel in time to the presenter speaking. Then export it as a video and place the whole thing in a storyline slide.
Much more interesting... if we wanted the learner to interact with the video, you could do what I have suggested above but have breaks in the video (maybe the upvote their favourite comment in the scrolling panel, or select which question they would like to ask the presenter, from the choices your provide). Then you have a branching scenario, over several slides, where the choice the learner makes decides what the presenter says next, to give the impression the learner is directly interacting with someone 'live'
Hey there, Martin:
I don't think the intent is for the user to actually interact with the content. I know I could probably just use fly-in animations to have a chat window appear when a fake question comes in, but I'm playing around with approaches.
Thanks for the suggestion!
