Hi

I’m wondering if it is possible to stream multi-slide synchronized video from a streaming service and have interactions on the slide when uploaded to my LMS?

    We have a streaming service that we embed into Captivate projects via the WebObject. The service provides the Embed code, we add that to CP's webobject and it works very well.

    The problem is there's no way for CP to know when the video is done playing (that we've yet found), so we extend the timeline. For example, if the video on slide 1 is 5 minutes, we extend slide 1's timeline 5:15.

    SO far the video and timeline have kept pace, but it's a little risky.

    So yes, can be done.

    Can you should be able to layer hotspots over top the video...but there's not knowledge between them of each other.

    We tend to have a video on slide 1, then the interaction on slide 2, then next video on slide 3, etc.

    Hi Erik,

    You are correct,  a service like "vimeo" would work fine for a single slide, not for multi-slide syncro though, unless you simulated it,  by cutting up the video and embedding it on multiple slides.

    Cheers

    That's right! And that's what we do, as I hoped to clarify in the example - cut the video into chunks for individual slide playback.

    Really the only way to reasonably address streaming video in a CP project, so far as we've found.

    Hmm... that sounds like a multi-part question.

    Technically you can stream if you have access to a Adobe Media Service, if not,  you can use a progressive download, but that will impact your load times. Yes,  you can have interactions on that same page but not on top of the video. (for example video plays in the top half, interactions play in the bottom half.)

    Cheers
