Hi Natalija!
It sounds like you are trying to use a video's timeline to trigger the state of an object. Happy to share some insight on this!

This will keep all elements in sync when a learner pauses the main timeline.
I've attached a revised copy of your .story file for your reference. Please let me know if you have any more questions!
