Captions disappear when timeline paused
Hey everyone,
I am using a custom play/pause-button. When I pause the timeline of my project the captions disappear while paused. When I click play afterwards they appear again. I noticed that whe...
Hello EL-Heroes,
I see this post is 1.5 years old by now. Is there something new about it?
The issue is still occuring in my SL360 projects. I am using v3.49.24347.0.
For me it is really annoying because I am using most of the times a custom CI playbar that I create with shapes and a play/pause trigger on the corresponding button instead of the modern/classic playbar.
I think it is essential for users that are not using audio (e.g. deafs) to be able to pause the project to read the captions in their own pace.
The bottom line for me is that I have to explain the customer, that they cannot have their own custom playbar and the basic function of pausing the project to read captions slowly or they would have to take one of the two integrated playbars with way less options to style it.
I attached a .story-example just in case you want to take a look at it.
I'd be very glad to here something new about it...
Best regards, Moritz
Hello Moritz!
I appreciate you taking the time to return to this discussion and share what you'd like to see in Storyline 360! The original discussion mentioned a bug where the captions weren't displayed when the timeline was paused. It sounds like you are looking for a way to have captions, not rely on the seek bar in order to play. I can see how this would be a beneficial addition. The first step is to present this to my team and then begin tracking what this would look like in Storyline 360. I'll make sure to keep you updated in this discussion if this makes it on our feature roadmap.
In the meantime, I'm eager to hear if others have a workaround to suggest!
