Multi-Slide Video & Slide Narration overlap

I have a multi-slide synchronized video playing on my slide (all on one slide only). But I also have a short narration audio on the slide itself introducing the video.

I want the video to play only after you click the Play button on the player skin, but right now the video begins automatically when you arrive on the slide.

This causes the narration on the slide to overlap with the narration of the video.

How can i do this?

Thanks!

How is the Narration Audio added to the slide?  Are you attaching it to an object, or triggering it via Advanced Actions?

It's part of the slide. I went to insert > audio

The video audio is part of the video itself.

OK.  Then why not just delay the start of the video until AFTER the slide audio has completed?

You could use the On Slide Enter event to execute a Standard Advanced Action with a Delay action set to the number of seconds the slide audio will run followed by a Pause action that will stop the timeline at that point.  Then all the user has to do is click the Play button on the playbar to start the timeline again and play the video.
