Mystery: Video Pause vs. HS Shape disappearance
Good day community!
If I have set the timeline to pause at 31s, shouldn't everything pause? I have my arrow shape and HS button appearing at 30s and a trigger to pause video at 31s. Why is the arrow (seemingly) disappearing before the 31s? See settings below.
Trial #1: project successfully pauses at 31s (in preview)
Trial #2: deleted arrow and trigger, and applied again - no change
Trial #3: pulled arrow to 34s and arrow remained in the scene during preview, and present after when clicking on the HS and the video continued. Which makes sense.
Project goal: is to pause the video and for the user to press the arrow to resume the video. Not sure exactly what the issue is, it seems like the arrow is disappearing before, during, or slightly after the 31s mark?

Hi Miranda,
This is happening because the Pause Media trigger is pausing ONLY the video, not the rest of the elements on the slide. To pause everything, try using the Pause Timeline trigger (and then use Resume Timeline when clicking the arrow - the hot spot isn't really needed because you can put the Resume trigger directly on the arrow).
Does that get you the result you want?
