Pausing timeline when pausing a video
I just noticed that when a video in a slide is paused the timeline keeps moving along. It does not pause in unison with the video control pause.
I have some screencasts that I made and inserted ...
Hi everyone,
Sorry to use this old thread but I'm having similar issues with syncing annotations with video in Storyline 2. All the annotations and animations are timed with the slide timeline to coincide with the correct timings in the video. I have successfully disabled the video control and used the covering hotspot technique shown by Peter above so the users have to use the slide timeline seek bar to navigate around if they want to recap any points in the video.
However, the annotations only stay correctly synced if the user only wants to pause & play the video. If the users seek around on the seek bar either ahead or behind, the video correctly jumps but the annotations stay where they were!
I wonder if this has something to do with the way I have made the annotations. They are each on separate layers which are triggered to be shown when the timeline ends on the previous layer. The problem occurs both on slide preview, and when published.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
