Hi,

I've Implemented 2 Characters, but as a smartshape. I added some TTS audio to both. So now i want to play the second character after the first one, without using timeline. so i want that if first end to start the second one.

I wanted to do it over conditional formatting, but i do not know how to use the smartobject in the conditional tab(if case).

If "smartshape1" is active

then

     "smartshape2" is "invisible"

else

     "smartshape2" is "visible"

Perhaps anyone could help me how I can request "smartshape1" in the if case statement

thx Franz

    How is the audio triggered, please? TTS audio id normally added to the slide as Slide Audio. I don't know what you mean by '...without using the Timeline' in that case.

    If you used the created TTS from the Library to either attach it to the 'shape, filled with a character' (I suspect you meant that in your first sentence) or to be used with a Play Audio command, I still need some more information. It looks bit weird why you don't want to put the second character on the timeline after the first one, if your requirement is just to have the two characters with their audio showing and playing in sequence.

    Can you show a screenshot of the Timeline, please!  And give some more explanations of your real goal? Please also tell which version you are using (full version number). Are you planning to have button to switch between the characters?  Since you talk about a conditional action, you need an event to trigger that action: which event would you use?

    Hi

    sorry for the inconvenience.

    I've attached a screenshot.

    I implement a powerpoint to use already confirmed content.

    This Slide allows the user to move forward by clicking. So the progress on the timeline is only when user clicks on the movie.

    But i want that the shown character are speaking beside. So Julie is starting with Slide beginning but it doesn't matter were Brad is on the timeline, he should start after Julie finished. If i am using only the timeline, user have to wait until he progress the movie and then Brad appears.

    So my intent is that the characters are speaking independently from the timeline, especially Brad should start after Julie.

    For Both i used the TTS but save the audio directly in the objects.

    Hopefully you could understand me better now.

    Sorry, not with an imported PPT slide.  I would never do that at all, you'll have tons of problems.

    Those slides are movie-slides, trying to reproduce the animations in PPT.  Maybe someone else will help you.
