Video Chapters

I am wondering if there is a way of inserting chapter points into an embedded video.  To be clear, I would like a video to play to a particular point, say 2 min 30 sec then stop.  At this point the learner is presented with a series of questions which require answers.  Once the answers are submitted the video resumes where it stopped and continues to play until another point where a second series of questions is presented.  And so on...  Is this possible?  Or am I required to prepare my video in sections beforehand then insert each section into a separate Storyline page?

  • Wow. 5 years late to the party! I bet you've moved on, but I'd like to take a stab.

    I bet you could drop the video in the slide and create separate triggers and variables for when you'd like the video to stop, show a question, and then resume upon submission. Maybe something like:

    1. Pause media when timeline reaches 2 mins 30 sec
    2. Show lightbox (your question) when timeline reaches 2 mins 30 sec
    3. BONUS - Add a fade in transition to your lightbox slides so it's not so abrupt 
    4. Submit answer when user clicks Submit
    5. Adjust variable Ques1answered to True when user clicks Submit
    6. Jump back to video slide after user clicks Submit
    7. Resume media if Ques1answered is True

    Then repeat for each time you'd like to pause the video.
