Is there any way to jump to a cue point on another slide?
Hallo, I have cue points on the timeline of a video and would like to jump to them directly from another slide and let the video run from there.
I hope that was understandable, my English is n...
It seems jumping to a point on the timeline does not skip the video ahead. You could try a couple of things.
1) You can use some JavaScript to jump into the video currently displayed. See the attached example. Set a cuePoint variable, jump to the video slide, execute the JavaScript on Timeline Start. The video will jump to the specified starting point (you could change this to set the starting time in seconds in the variable). You should remove the event handler when you are done with the video slide.

2) Without that, I might break the video into discrete segments that each start on a cue point. Align them to play sequentially on the timeline. To jump to a specific cue point from another slide, create a variable to represent the different cue points (for example, 1, 2, 3, etc.). Immediately before jumping to the video slide, set the desired cue point in the variable. Jump to the video slide. On the video slide add triggers using On Timeline Start, or whatever would be appropriate, to jump to the desired cue point(s), using your setting in the cue point variable as the check in the If statement. This way, you can specify where to position the timeline before you jump to the video.
Nathan_HilliardIs it possible to jump to a cuepoint in another slide to avoid a slide transition?
I'm currently trying to find a way to have a push transition play only on advancing slides and not on going back.I don't know of a way to jump to a cue point across slides that avoids the transistion animation. A workable but clunky approach would be to setup a "pre" slide that executes the transition (with initial elements) and then automatically jumps to the "full" slide with everything in its starting position. Normal navigation would lead to the pre slide, showing the transition and then jumping to the full version, while later revisits could just go to the full slide, where the actual non-animated content resides.
This is a good workaround. Many thanks.
