Timeline advancing after video is paused
- 2 years ago
Hello everyone,
I have some great news to share! We released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 77, we've included important fixes and new features.
One of the enhancements we've included:
- Video goes out of sync with the timeline when the timeline is paused at certain points.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!

Is this working properly? I just tried it, opened a new SL, inserted a random video, previewed it and clicked on the video itself = it paused the video but the timeline continued - so looks like it's not working properly

Hi Moses,
Happy to chime in!
The behavior you're experiencing is expected because the timeline of the video and the slide timeline are independent of each other. If you want to pause the slide timeline when you pause the video, try using the built-in "Pause Timeline" trigger with your video.
You'll want to use the "Resume Timeline" trigger to restart the slide's timeline. Alternatively, you can make the length of the video the same as the length of the timeline and use the Player's pause/play button to control the video instead. You'll want to turn off the video controls for your video so your learner doesn't get confused by seeing two ways to pause/play the video.
