Show text in a video at certain time in the video
Sara,
There really is no way to keep track of where a video is if you let the user drag its timeline.
The only possibility is that you could let them pause it. Put a trigger to bring up a layer with nothing on it that is set to pause the base timeline. Set it to hide whenever it is clicked on.
That will allow the user to pause it, and your timing will be correct.
Dragging it around is going to work only if the video starts with the slide and uses the slide timeline. You could put it on a new slide that starts when the 6 seconds expires, or the user clicks, or whatever triggers it to start. Then the slide timeline can be used instead of the video timeline.
Thanks Walt, I feared as much.
I changed the video to start with the slide. But still the objects don't appear on the correct time in the video when I drag or pause the video. They appear with the timeline.
I guess I have to give up on this, and turn off the Video controls :(
