How to sync video audio with the seekbar controls?
The most accurate method is to start a new slide when the video starts and ends. That way you can avoid the video seekbar altogether. The slide seekbar, which controls all the objects on the slide, will be in synch with the video.
Simple, easy, and guaranteed, unless the learner clicks on the video, which will freeze the video without stopping the timeline. Like Alyssa suggested, you can put a transparent (not invisible) shape over the video to prevent clicking. It must have a fill and be set to transparent to function.
But I think you are asking how to keep everything together if the learner scrubs the seekbar, and not using the video seekbar is the only practical method of doing that.
Thanks Walt. I have tried both the options and it seems to have resolved my issue.
HI Kavita which approach helped in solving the issue.
Walt, this is still the way I do it, but I must say it is not a good solution for longer videos, for a couple of reasons:
- There is no way to show the elapsed time and duration of the video
- There is no way to allow the user to speed up the video
I want so much to use the new video player to fix these issues, but not being able to sync it to the seekbar is still such a bummer.
