Video Controls: How to Keep a Video Synchronized with the Timeline

Room 435 would like to share our first episode of "Cue Points".  In this series, we will be sharing helpful tips and tricks we have discovered while developing custom projects for our clients.

The Challenge:  Have you ever had a slide where you wanted a video to be synchronized with other objects that appear over the course of the timeline? Did you know that if the learner clicks on the video while the course is playing the default trigger of toggling between pause and play will occur? In this episode, we will show you a simple solution to solve this potential problem.

    Hi 

    Is there anyway to stop the video slipping out of synch when there is poor bandwidth? I find the video will pause a moment if there is poor wifi ete, but the timeline objects will continue to play as the video buffers. This pushes things out of synch! Thanks
