Event Video Audio playing without clicking play

Question

I have an event video in a slide with an audio recording from my library.

My problem is that the audio is playing without the clicking the play button. I don't want the audio to start u until the user clicks play on the video.

I've also tried adding the audio to the slide as 2nd audio track and I have the "Pause Audio slide till the end of video" checked. But the slide doesn't pause, it just continues to play.

Any ideas how I can solve either or both issues?

Thanks,

Event video plays independently of Captivate's timeline. I understand that you used slide audio, but it will never be synchronized with the event video, if that was the goal. Indeed, slide audio will play when the first frame of its timeline is reached. If you want to sync the audio with a video, the best way is to use a video editor to have the audio embedded in the video. I would Premiere Rush for that purpose.

You could use the Pause command On Enter of the slide to avoid the slide audio to start playing. But there is no way to attach an action to the play button in the Event Video control panel to trigger the slide audio at the same time.

How did you try to pause the slide audio? Maybe you could learn some basic tips from this blog post:
