Video doesn't playback from the beginning on my timeline

I'm attempting to add a video that starts playing about 20 seconds into my timeline.  When I replay the timeline the video doesn't start at the beginning.  It starts 20 seconds into the video.  When I preview the slide the video starts from the begin 20 seconds into the preview.  The issue I'm have is as the video plays I want to add text to it, but because it's not playing correctly on the timeline I'm having issues knowing where to add the text.  Is there a way to get the video to play from the beginning 20 seconds in on the timeline?

    Hello Stephanie!

    Happy to help! I understand you'd like the video to start later in the timeline and keep its original start point and length. You can do this by first right-clicking on the video in the timeline and unticking Show until end. Then, you can drag the video to the right of the timeline to make it start at a later time.

    I prepared a quick Peek 360 video showing the process. If you require any further information, please let me know!

    EricSantosor anyone else in support.  I tried what you suggested to Stephanie and this did not work.  I insert my video, untick the Show until end, and then slide the movie to a new start point.  As far as I move it is the amount of the front of the video that is cut off.  Thoughts.

      I have found a solution to the problem.  If you have any other ideas, let me know.  Going to options on the video and changing Play Video to When triggered and then sliding the video to that time and putting a trigger for that time to start the video fixed it. Wish I could just slide the MP4.
