Hi Carolyn,   
There may be a javascript resolution, here's a link: Group: JavaScript | Articulate - Community 

Failing that, a down and dirty quick fix I have used, after running out of time to come up with a resolve was to clip the video into shorter durations. I had to do some editing for it to work logically and visually. My video was 9 minutes long, I clipped it into 3 videos and placed each video on a different slide, that way the user could resume where they left off and not have to watch all 9 minutes again - at worst (still somewhat frustrating) they had to re-watch 3 minutes without the ability to drag. 

It's not optimal. I am hoping someone on this forum has an elegant solution.  Good luck!

    Thanks so much Ange. I am not brilliant with JavaScript but will certainly have a look. I thought about clipping the videos but as there are several and each slide has voice overs, it would really knock the sequence out for all my files and cause a huge amount of work, so ideally not wanting to do that. I tried to create a variable and trigger that is said complete earlier than 100% so it at least wouldn't get the last 10 seconds and then start again from the beginning, but couldn't do it. I will look at JavaScript link you kindly sent.

    Best wishes

    Carolyn
