Hi, Sara -- Thanks for your question! Have you tried using triggers as described here for what you are hoping to accomplish? Please let us know if that is not what you had in mind. :)

Yes, I tried adding triggers, but that didn't work as there is no 'When video reaches...' option, or at least; I was unable to find it. I tried several things (see the screenshot in my original post):
- Show the layer - [text layer] When Timeline reaches Cue point 1 (I added a cue point on the timeline)

But all this doesn't work when the Video Controls are shown and you pause or forward the video. The Cue point and Time refers to the slide timeline, not to the video time. That's where I get stuck :(
