Using Markers and Audio
Hi John,
Thanks for contacting us and sharing what you are working on with your project.
One solution that comes to mind is to pause the timeline of the slide almost immediately and have the timeline resume when the state of all your markers are visited so that your trigger could be set for when the timeline ends vs. the state of the markers. Understanding how your course is set up may help recommendations though.
You mention that 'the trigger to the next slide goes off too early'.
- Is your course set to auto-advance? Or do you not want the Next button to be available until the audio is complete?
- Can the markers be visited in any order or is there an order that you follow?
The task I'm being asked is to have a short audio after all the markers complete that introduces the next slide. Then it goes to the next slide when that audio completes. Doing that, the audio from the marker and on the timeline overlap. Having the audio start on the next slide and using visited markers won't work because when you click the last marker it goes to the next layer/slide and cuts out that last marker.
Right now they are visited in any order, but I think I'll make the last row of custom markers appear after the others are visited, and that way their audio will be on the timeline and can base a trigger on the states. (Change each marker to state = complete when the audio for the marker is done, then move forward when all custom markers = complete.) That way, I'm only changing a few markers, not all of them.
