Slide Video Interactions

Hi Captivate Community!

 

I should be able to make a slide video (controlled by Captivate) pause and then when the user interacts wwith a simple button, it will play. But that won't work, and I believe I've observed that the video will continue again after a brief pause on revisit. 

 

So I added bookmarks and am having more success. Still, I wish there was a better way. I know about workarounds and use them. Maybe someone knows of a good workaround?

    If the video is inserted as slide video, Play/Pause buttons will be functional. I don't understand exactly what you mean. How did you set up the Play/Pause buttons?

    Maybe they do work, but the content is packed so our viewers often go back and revisit the content without refreshing the browser. And that's when the buttons no longer work on revisit. Is there any work around for that?

     

    To attempt to work around, I have pause buttons lined up with the book mark so that when the button is pressed it uses advanced actions, and it plays from the book mark it will then hide the button (so it won't interfere again). Now I think I must have the buttons appear again so that if they go back they can revisit the content and it will still function.

    Another issue I'm having is a windows user isn't seeing the same thing I am when publishing on web server to test. Many of the button stops seem to go past where I see them stop on my macs (both desktop and laptop). Are there differences in experience between mac and windows?

    By the way, I'm using mp4 video that is linked locally (as opposed to another site).
