precisely positioning cue points
Alternatively, you could cue something to begin when the other object ends. Or you can drag the playhead to exactly match the spot on the timeline where the audio or video ends, and right click to set a cue at the playhead. Or you can create a temporary object, and set its timing to begin at the point you want, drag the playhead to it, set a cue at the playhead, and delete the object.
But really, setting the timing on a cue point would be way easier (if you could).
Hi Walt,
Thanks for the suggestions.
I put in a new feature request to be able to set cue points to a specific time.
Regardless of how you try to position the playhead or drag the cue point, even when you expand the timeline by changing the zoom of it, getting the cue point at an exact timing still is a challenge. In this case I am doing the syncing where each slide has multiple recordings of animated slides done in PowerPoint or other software, plus animations done in Storyline overlaid on that, plus audio narration tracks imported into Storyline. The storyline animations are all triggered, hence the que points. Each recorded PowerPoint animation may have multiple audio tracks and each audio track has one or more corresponding animations. Sounds like a lot, but the stuff we're producing looks great.
Sorry, can't share these because of the confidential info in them.
