Audio from event video still playing on timeline when the video paused using the skin

Question

We are wanting to use event videos in captivate which will have their own skin so the user can pause, skip etc. through the video.

We are adding the audio to the event video and this is fine, it plays well.

But if we pause the video using the video skin, then audio carries on playing as if it is on the timeline.

Is there anyway that the skin interacts with the timeline or someway to mute the timeline and just use the event video skin.

This is really frustrating as really the audio should stop when the video is paused.

Thanks

Paul

Event video is playing totally independently from Captivate's controls. That is the reason for its dediated conrol panel. If you want to be able to control video with Captivate functionality (playbar or custom pause button) you need to use synchronized video. Before CP2019 that was indicated as Multislide video (but can be on one slide), in CP2019 it is labeled as Slide Video.

Maybe this blog post expplaining Pausing Captivate's timeline can offer you more details:

I have also an interactive tutorial, based on one of the presentations I gave about Timeline:
