'Continue' block completion with embedded video
Gerry thanks for your workaround tip. Very cleaver indeed!!
We just switched all our native Rise videos to embeds and are having the same problem as the original poster... :(
Quick Question - since we don't have a storyline developer or PC in our small in-house team - is there a way to make a generic timer in Storyline that we could put after all the past videos and future videos we will make. Have generic timers made at 30sec, 45sec, 60 sec.. etc and use as needed based on future video duration. Put a timer below the video so the CONTINUE block refers to that.
Would that work? Or would the blank timer not have anything to reference as start point??
Thanks for your help - again :))

Garrett,
I have two methods for timers in Storyline:
1. Add a layer that opens when [action occurs]. Place the continue button on the timeline of that layer at the desired timing, or set course completion when the timeline of that layer completes (really, any trigger that you need to be delayed).
The above is easy to build and easy to duplicate.
2. When layers aren't an option (usually because you are already on a layer when you need the timer), instead add a shape off-screen. Create a line animation and set that animation to the length of time you need (I think this method is limited to 59 seconds). Then, set a trigger based on when the animation completes.
This method works really well, but is limited to the length of line animation. (You could do multiple animations to make this last longer, but at that point, it starts to get silly).
Someday, Articulate will add an off screen timer that we can type in an amount of time, and have the timer begin after trigger, then set another trigger after timer completes. On that day, the people will rejoice (or at least I will).
