I can't get "hide slide layer when timeline finishes" to work.
I can confirm that layer six does hide itself, returning me to the base layer. Layer 6 is also over 18 seconds long though so I suspect you simply weren't waiting for it to end. Since all of the other layers are only five seconds long, I expect the 18-second timeline is an accident? It can either be manually shortened to match the length of the video, or a trigger added to hide the video "when the media completes":
And yes, the play button at the bottom of the player allows someone to restart the base layer. As far as I know it can't restart any non-base layers because we can create projects that show multiple layers at a time, so I'm not sure how the play button would know which non-base layer to play/pause.
If you want to hide the play button on the bottom, you can change the Menus & Controls toggle to Off from the Player menu:
Here is the Storyline file. The number 6 slider is the one with the "hide slide layer when timeline finishes." It has a video in it. Shouldn't the layer go back to the slider one once the video is played and the timeline ends?
And this brings up another confusing question. What am I to do with the player buttons? Each time they are clicked, it goes directly to the slider/base layer.

Thank you!!!! :)
Now I see what I did wrong, thanks to you! The video was only 7 seconds long, but the timeline was 18 seconds long. Once I made the timeline 7 seconds, it worked perfectly!! :)
